Building in Fremont
What the City of Fremont decides, and what we handle
California law allows an ADU on most single-family lots. The City of Fremont sets the local details, like how far it must sit from your property lines and how tall it can be. We check your lot against them before you commit to anything.
We submit the plans to the City of Fremont, answer every comment the city sends back, and resubmit until your permit is approved.
Permit fees are set by the City of Fremont and paid directly to the city. PG&E connection fees are paid to PG&E. Neither can be priced exactly up front, so they are not part of our price.
The City of Fremont inspects the work at each stage. We book each inspection as the work finishes, so the site keeps moving.
Fremont is in Alameda County. Our office is in Newark. We also work in Union City, Milpitas and San Jose.

Reviews
What our clients say
“Owning an older home means unexpected issues always come up, but Eric and his team never left us to figure things out alone. They were responsive, supportive, and always had solutions.”
“Great experience with Loona Construction, especially Ed and Eric. They helped me with literally everything on my project: design, plans, engineering, permits, inspections, materials…”
“Loona Construction’s bid was the highest I’ve got, but after the completion of the job, I understood why, and I’m sure that the money spent on the project was worth every penny.”

More ADU questionsYes. We build in Fremont and across Alameda County. Our office is in Newark.
Most single-family lots in California can have one. The City of Fremont sets the local details, like how far it must sit from your property lines. We check your lot against them before you commit to anything.
They are set by the City of Fremont, paid directly to the city, and depend on your project, so no one can price them exactly up front. PG&E connection fees are separate for the same reason.
Typically under a year from first drawing to move-in: up to 2 months for design and engineering, 2 to 3 months for city approval, and 3 to 5 months of construction.
