    I recently came across your UA-cam channel and am impressed by the quality of your content. However, after conducting a comprehensive analysis, I have noticed a few growth opportunities that can help you increase your views and customers. Here are some key areas where I believe improvements can be made: • Video titles and meta descriptions: Improving these can greatly improve visibility in search results. • Tags and Keywords: Using more relevant tags and keywords can help your videos reach a wider audience If you want, I can do a free UA-cam channel audit to provide more in-depth analysis and actionable recommendations. Let me know if you are interested!

      TLDR: Yes but it can't be a fancy one. straight from the DRE Website: The only materials or devices, other than those furnished by the Department, that an examinee may use during the course of the examination are pencils and slide rules or silent, battery-operated, electronic, pocket-sized calculators which are non-programmable, do not have a print-out capability, or an alphabetic keyboard.

    Thanks for making this video. It really helped me get a better understanding of the CA ADU process/timeline. We have 3.5 acres in Nor Cal and the property is sloped. We wanted to have a manufactured home delivered to speed things up but the slopes and powerlines prevented that. We need to build the ADU onsite like you did. Because we're out in the country, we also have to have a new septic system installed. I haven't been able to get a straight answer on actual timelines and costs so this helped a lot. In our County they offer some free pre-approved plans but not sure I like them. I wish your contractor was local because it sounds like your project went pretty smoothly. Thanks again for putting this info together.

    • @DarrenTsai_
      @DarrenTsai_ 13 днів тому

      Congrats on owning 3.5 acres!! that's amazing. My understanding talking to contractors and homeowners (no actual personal experience) is that the foundation work + earth work (site prep) is a huge cost for building on a slope. The architect/designer and engineer will have a big part in the success of your project because of those foundation calculations too. Best of luck with your project!

    I live in San Diego County and I'm almost two years into the permit process for a 50x32 empty metal prefabricated building. I'm at $65k for the building, $25k for assembly, $40k for the concrete, $20k for "fire abatement" levied by the county, and a little over $20k for the permit and associated cost (meaning they made me pay for engineers to verify the original engineers and other cost). $40k just for the stuff that the county wants is just insane considering the original engineer had to be CA certified and his plans had the CA seal of approval on it. The system is broke. I'm at $170k and I still need to pay the city to install water lines to support the fire suppression system.

    how does that impact your address like splitting out utilities (water/electricity/etc) or entrance to the adu? same for property taxes. do you get a separate bill or is does your property get re-assessed?

    • @DarrenTsai_
      @DarrenTsai_ 27 днів тому

      We didn't split out utilities. You have the option to though. Our city makes us get separate address but property still gets reassessed.

    Hi Darren, just found your channel. Could you introduce me to your architect. We're wanting to build an ADU at home in San Diego. Already confirmed feasibility and got survey. Just need ADU plans. We have a very clear idea of what we want. Just need someone to draft and help get approved. How can I connect with you?

    Sorry my friend you paid way to much unless it's very elaborate ...the material are usually about 20% of a 200 sf to build. If you have time and ability to do 75% of work far far less

    luckily you did not get scammed by that tiny homes company; the story is the bond for them was only 25k and they took 100's of thousands from ppl and 4mil debt then filed for bankruptcy.

    Did you ever consider a modular build vs stick build?

    • @DarrenTsai_
      @DarrenTsai_ Місяць тому

      Sure did. Modular was not as cost effective per sqft, long wait times due to investory shortage, and had limited designs. I would have still had to find a contractor to do the site prep & install.
