CLEAR EXPECTATIONS

ANSWERS FOR YOUR
PROJECT

Building a custom home or ADU in San Diego County comes with questions. We believe in total transparency from day one: no hidden fees, no guessing games, and clear communication. Here is what you can expect when partnering with Bernal Builders.

How long does the permitting process take in San Diego County?

Permitting timelines vary by jurisdiction, but typically range from 3 to 6 months for custom homes or ADUs. We handle the entire submittal and revision process to expedite approvals and keep your project on track.

How do you ensure accurate cost estimating?

We provide a comprehensive, line-item budget before any construction begins. By locking in material costs early and maintaining strong relationships with San Diego suppliers, we eliminate surprise expenses and keep your build on budget.

What are the latest ADU regulations in our area?

Recent changes in California and local San Diego zoning have made ADU construction more accessible than ever. We stay up-to-date on all setbacks, height limits, and lot coverage requirements to ensure your guest house or rental unit is fully compliant.

How often will we communicate during the build?

Transparency is our standard. You will receive weekly progress reports, including photos and milestone updates. Our project managers are always available to answer questions, ensuring you never feel out of the loop.

Are your construction projects under warranty?

Yes. Every Bernal Builders project comes with a comprehensive warranty covering workmanship and structural integrity. We stand behind the quality of our craftsmanship long after the final walkthrough is complete.
