Licensed ROC #365677 · Building in Gilbert, AZ
A casita is a small home in your backyard. People build them for parents, guests, a home office or long term rental. For a Gilbert casita, we talk through sleeping space, bathroom layout, storage and outdoor space alongside how you'll use it.
In 2024 Arizona passed HB 2720. It makes larger cities, Gilbert included, allow ADUs on single family lots with a building permit, and it limits side and rear setbacks to 5 feet. Your HOA can still have its own rules, so we check those too.
We help plan the rooms, building systems and finishes around how you'll use the space. Choices about a kitchen, who lives there and any rental use come first, so the build plan starts on a clear direction.
You work with one team through design, permits, construction and the final walkthrough. Your lot and scope set the budget. A price per square foot can't answer that, so we walk your lot and give you a real number.

A few things to work through before you build.
Arizona's 2024 ADU law says larger cities like Gilbert can't block long term rental of an ADU. Your HOA may still have its own rules, so we check your CC&Rs before design starts.
Size, finishes, site access, utility work and your lot all matter. We walk your lot and give you a real number before anything is signed.
Design decisions, permit review, site preparation, and construction each affect the schedule. We discuss the expected sequence after reviewing the property and scope, rather than promise a move-in date before that work is done.
