FAQ

ADU & DADU Site Prep Questions, Answered

What is HB 1337 and why does it matter?

HB 1337 expanded where and how accessory dwelling units can be built across Washington, which has driven a wave of ADU and DADU projects on lots that couldn't support them before — and site prep is the first phase of nearly all of them.

Can you work around a tight urban lot?

Yes — ADU/DADU site prep is frequently on tight, hard-to-access lots, and it's a big part of why we run compact equipment like the Kubota U48-5.

Do you coordinate with my builder?

Yes, we sequence excavation, trenching, and grading around your builder's or GC's schedule.
