We had a beautiful experience working with Gil’s team of Hugo and Daniel and they were very diligent throughout the entire process. They built our ADU from start to finish in less than 6 months all while my elderly 77 year old dad lived in the front house and they showed great consideration to him. The finishes were on point and the communication never lacked with Gil and Daniel always picking up the phone when we called. And one of the most impressive features of our experience is that for a six figure project the price we were given is the EXACT price that we paid at the end. Would definitely recommend Go ADU to take the stress out of building in the City of LA

Just finished an ADU build with Go ADU and I’m genuinely impressed with how they ran the job. Anytime something unexpected popped up—city, utilities, you name it—they told me right away and laid out options instead of just dumping problems in my lap. Communication was steady the whole way through, and I never felt like I had to chase them for updates. The unit turned out exactly how I pictured it: clean lines, solid workmanship, and ready to move into. I’d gladly bring them back for another project.

Thursday afternoon I met Go ADU Construction for a backyard ADU consult. They arrived on time, walked the yard, measured, and explained utilities and the permit path in plain language. I left with a clear written estimate and a sensible timeline.Low pressure and organized, would hire.

Gil and his amazing team just completed my ADU project in less than five months. I am extremely satisfied with their promptness, work ethic, and the quality of the job. There is no guessing or sugar-coating in his business. As I was researching my options on Yelp before working with Go ADU, I read the reviews about Gil but found them a bit unrealistic and market-pitched. However, after completing the work on schedule and within budget, I can confirm that everything said about Go ADU is true. I will definitely work with Gil again.

I recently had the pleasure of working with GO ADU, and I cannot speak highly enough of my experience. Gil and Hugo were exceptional throughout the entire process. Their professionalism, strong work ethic, and responsiveness truly stood out. They provided great options whenever we needed to make adjustments, ensuring the project stayed on track and aligned with my vision.

The quality of their work is unmatched. I’ve looked at other ADUs, but none compare to what they’ve built. My ADU is absolutely stunning—luxurious, beautiful, and classy. It's ready to hit the market, and I’m confident it will stand out from the competition.

I would highly recommend GO ADU to anyone considering a project. Thank you, Gil and Hugo, for your incredible work. I look forward to referring you to all my friends and family!

We hired Go ADU, with Gil as the owner and Hugo as the project manager, to design and build an ADU for us, and we’re so happy with how everything turned out. From day one, they made the whole process easy to navigate. Gil was great at working through the design, helping us turn our ideas into a functional plan, while Hugo made sure everything stayed on schedule during the build. The communication between them and with us was seamless.

I really appreciated how clean they kept the site. We’ve worked with other contractors before, and this is something a lot of people overlook, but not Gil and Hugo. Their team was careful about cleaning up each day, and even after a huge rainstorm that made everything muddy, they had the site looking spotless by the next morning. Little things like that really made a difference.

The design process was another standout part of the experience. I had a general idea of what I wanted, and Gil helped bring it to life with practical suggestions to make the space both beautiful and functional. Hugo was fantastic at managing the day-to-day construction, making sure the project moved along smoothly and keeping us updated at every stage.

If you’re looking for a team that’s professional, reliable, and easy to work with, I’d definitely recommend Go ADU. They made the entire process so much less stressful, and we love how the ADU turned out!

I couldn't be happier with the work Go ADU did on my garage conversion. They were professional, efficient, and communicated every step of the process. The finished product is stunning, and I've already rented it out! The fact that they finished on time was a huge relief. If you're considering an ADU project, I highly recommend them.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Go ADU on my ADU project. From start to finish, their team was incredibly professional and efficient. One of the things that impressed me most was the cleanliness of their worksite. They were meticulous about keeping the area tidy, minimizing disruption to my daily life.

I would highly recommend Gil and Hugo from Go ADU to anyone considering building an ADU. Their attention to detail and commitment to a clean workspace made the entire process a breeze.

I just wrapped up an ADU project with Go ADU, and I’ve got to say, I’m really happy with how it turned out. They kept the site super clean, which isn’t always the case with contractors. Plus, they actually finished on time. There were a couple of hiccups, but they were quick to let me know and always had a plan to keep things moving.

The final result looks great—exactly what I was hoping for. Solid work all around. Definitely someone I’d work with again.

I don’t often leave reviews but Gil and the team did an awesome job on our ADU. We vetted a couple contractors and chose Gil as he was very personable and we wanted to enjoy the experience of the build as we had heard some horror stories. Go ADU did a fab job, and we’ll be recommending them to friends and neighbors. We’ll be renting our ADU and here are the photos from our staging! Thank you Gil!!!

I've built several ADUs now with different contractors and this one was the easiest and smoothest to date thanks to Gil and his team at Go ADU. Communications was great throughout the process and most impressively, Gil's team actually stuck to a schedule and on the few occasions where we had to deviate, we were only off by a few days rather than weeks or months on my previous jobs with other contractors. Gil was also very responsive and accommodating to change orders and corrections -- no fuss, no pushback. Am definitely going to recommend him to other clients and investors of mine!

Hiring Go ADU for my project was finding a gem in a sea of contractors. From day one, they had a game plan that made sense and kept the project on track.

Their transparency was refreshing. No smoke and mirrors—just clear communication about timelines and costs that helped me plan ahead without any surprises.

But what really stood out was how they listened. They didn't just build; they collaborated, taking my ideas and turning them into reality.

I'm grateful for a stress-free build process, look no further than Gil, Hugo and their team.

I’m a long time real estate investor and I’ve worked with at least a dozen contractors. Gil and his team are by far my favorites. They’re the most reliable contractors I’ve ever worked with. Communication was superb — clear, realistic timelines and constant updates with photos. He and is team were highly skilled in understanding the nuances of my project. I’m thrilled with the final product and will absolutely be using GoADU again for my next project.

Gil fixed up my ADU after a nightmare contractor couldn’t get it finished according to code and kept failing inspection. He walked off the job and I was overwhelmed because construction wasn’t my lane of expertise. Gil knew how to communicate with us as a homeowner himself. He understood our point of view, was knowledge and helpful, and got the ADU finished and permitted.

Frequently Asked ADU Construction Questions?

 

How long does ADU construction take once permits are approved?

Most builds finish in 4–6 months, depending on size, site conditions, and material selections. We set a realistic schedule at the start and track milestones weekly to keep things moving.

Do you handle city inspections during construction?

Yes. We prepare each phase for inspection, meet the inspector on site, and resolve any notes quickly. Our goal is to pass on the first visit so your timeline stays intact.

What if I don’t have final selections yet (tile, cabinets, fixtures)?

We’ll help you finalize choices early to avoid delays. If you need time, we can use allowances for certain items, but we’ll document them clearly so your guaranteed price stays accurate.

Will construction affect my main house?

We protect adjacent areas, manage dust and debris, and schedule noisy work during appropriate hours. If temporary utility shutoffs are needed, we’ll warn you in advance and keep them short.

Can you take over a project that’s already started?

Yes. We start with a quick site and plans audit, align on scope and timeline, and then step in as the builder to finish cleanly. The goal is to protect what’s done and avoid rework.

How do payments work during construction?

Payments are tied to milestones, we complete work, you verify, then we invoice. No large upfront deposits and no surprise invoices.

What happens if something unexpected is found (e.g., utilities, structure)?

We document the issue, validate options and costs, and review any schedule impact. No change orders move forward without your written approval.

Do you build detached, attached, and garage conversion ADUs?

Yes. We construct detached and attached ADUs, multi-story designs, and garage conversions (including JADUs), all to Los Angeles code and Title 24 requirements.

Can you build with sustainability in mind?

Absolutely. We include energy-efficient insulation, LED lighting, water-saving fixtures, and low-VOC materials by default, and we can prepare for solar where appropriate.

What kind of warranty do you provide?

You’ll receive a clear warranty at handoff, along with manuals and maintenance info. We’re committed to long-term quality, and we’ll be here if you need us.
