Why CASITA Chose Construction Management Over the Traditional ADU Contractor Model
The San Diego ADU company built its Design. Bid. Build. approach around transparency, competitive bidding and homeowner choice.
Casita’s leadership deliberately rejected the general-contractor model that dominates the ADU market, where one company designs, prices, and builds the same project. The release lays out the alternative: design and permitting first, then competitive bids from qualified builders, with the homeowner choosing who builds and Casita managing construction. Because Casita never bids on the construction contract, it has no stake in which builder wins.
“We wanted homeowners to have an opportunity to understand the project before committing to who would build it.”
