Casita Builder in Tempe, AZ

Give family and guests a space of their own. Five Star Design Build plans and builds casitas in Tempe, with one team connecting the design, required permits, and construction.

Licensed ROC #365677 · Tempe, AZ

Close to family does not have to mean sharing every room. A Tempe casita can give a household more breathing room, with a separate place to sleep, relax, and keep daily routines. We help define that space while checking how the city will review the proposed living arrangement.

Tempe evaluates new separate living-space applications under its ADU rules. Existing guest quarters can also affect the review of a proposed additional unit.

We help define the rooms, building systems, and finishes around the approved use. Decisions about cooking facilities, occupancy, and any proposed rental use come before the construction plan, so the design is built on an agreed direction.

You work with one team through design coordination, permit review, construction, and the final walkthrough. The scope and site requirements guide the budget; a generic price per square foot cannot answer every question about your property.

Questions

A few things to work through before you build.

Does Tempe have a separate guest-quarters application route?

Tempe’s guidance says new separate living-space applications are evaluated under its ADU regulations. We review the proposed casita’s layout and use through that process.

What affects the cost of a casita in Tempe?

Size, finishes, site access, utility work, and the approved scope all matter. We review those together so the budget reflects the project you are actually planning.

How long will the project take?

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.
