Title 24 Compliance Reports for California ADUs

Accessory dwelling units, garage conversions, and junior ADUs — permit-ready Title 24 reports built for ADU-specific compliance pathways.

Why ADUs Need Their Own Title 24 Approach

ADU-Specific Rules

ADUs and garage conversions fall under distinct Title 24 provisions from new single-family homes — using the wrong pathway causes rejections.

Equipment-Driven Results

Heat pump water heaters and ductless mini-splits, common in ADUs, directly change the compliance math — we model your actual equipment, not generic defaults.

Prescriptive or Performance

Small footprints often qualify for the simpler prescriptive pathway, but we'll flag when performance modeling saves you money on the build.

Avoid Permit Delays

An ADU-appropriate report the first time keeps your building department review on schedule.

ADU Title 24 Questions

Does my ADU need a Title 24 report?

Yes. California building departments require a Title 24 compliance report for ADU permits, including garage conversions and junior ADUs, covering the building envelope, HVAC, and water heating.

How fast can I get a Title 24 report for my ADU?

Standard turnaround is 2–3 business days from receiving complete plans. Expedited 1–2 day service is available for an additional fee.

What do you need to prepare a Title 24 report for my ADU?

Architectural plans showing floor plan and envelope details, plus your planned HVAC and water heating equipment — many ADUs use heat pump water heaters and ductless mini-splits, which affect the calculation.
