Santa Monica's trusted ADU builder — handling everything from design and permits to construction and final inspection.

Santa Monica homeowners are sitting on some of the most valuable land in California. An ADU is one of the smartest investments you can make — adding rental income, housing for family, and long-term property value. NEST Build & Design manages the entire ADU process so you don't have to navigate permits, contractors, or city inspections alone.

Detached ADU

A standalone unit in your backyard — the most popular ADU type in Santa Monica. We design and build detached ADUs that match your home's architecture and maximize your usable square footage within city setback requirements.

Garage Conversion

Convert your existing garage into a fully permitted ADU. Garage conversions are cost-effective, faster to permit, and ideal for Santa Monica lots with limited yard space. We handle structural upgrades, insulation, plumbing, and electrical.

Permits & Design

We manage the full Santa Monica permit process — from initial feasibility study through building department approval and city inspections. Our team knows local requirements and keeps your project on track from day one.

Licensed & Insured
