You don’t need everything perfect, but you should have enough for them to understand your site and goals. \n\nA little prep up front often saves several back‑and‑forth calls later.\n\nKey factors:\n- Recent property tax bill and APN, plus any prior site plans or surveys\n- Photos of the yard, garage, and any slopes or tight access points\n- Rough ideas on use (family, rental, office) and target budget range\n- HOA rules or known zoning overlays if applicable\n\nGather these basics, jot down your must‑haves and nice‑to‑haves, and bring a list of questions. A good ADU professional will use this information to outline realistic options, ballpark costs, and next steps tailored to your property."
