MiniPlans – ADU Design

MiniPlans is a California-based ADU design and drafting company specializing in permit-ready plans for Accessory Dwelling Units and other small residential structures. With more than 20 years of combined drafting and design experience, the company focuses specifically on small-scale buildings, allowing its team to develop practical designs that account for zoning, setbacks, building codes, and property constraints from the beginning.

MiniPlans offers both pre-designed ADU plans and custom ADU plans based on each homeowner’s property, requirements, and intended use. Its process begins with a free site visit and parcel assessment, followed by plan design, coordination with engineering partners, and preparation of a complete plan set suitable for permit submission. The company also provides support for common city comments when revisions are required.

The company focuses on producing permit-ready documentation rather than concept drawings, helping homeowners and contractors move from an initial ADU idea toward an approved construction plan. Its services are structured so customers can use MiniPlans for the design and planning phase and potentially continue with additional project coordination as their development progresses.
