Modern Ranch ADU · the brief

The goal

A self-contained guest house on the property, with vaulted rooms inside and as much covered outdoor space as indoor space.

The porches carry an outdoor kitchen and a fireplace, so guests can cook, eat and gather outside under cover.

Process

How we ran it

The same way we run every Harrod Built home: a licensed family team and one point of contact from start to finish.

  1. 01

    One licensed family team

    Harrod Built is run by brothers Michael and Chris Harrod (CSLB #986950). Michael is the licensed general contractor and stays involved from the first design conversation to the final walkthrough.

  2. 02

    One point of contact

    Chris runs the job day to day: the schedule, the subcontractors and the details. You always know who to call.

  3. 03

    Permits and pre-construction

    Our team handles the permit process, site prep and pre-construction logistics, and keeps you informed before ground is broken.

  4. 04

    Updates, finishes, walkthrough

    Regular updates through every phase, help with finish selections, and a final walkthrough before handover, backed by our warranty.
