Building in Dublin
What the City of Dublin decides, and what we handle
The City of Dublin sets how close an addition can come to your property lines and how tall it can be. We check your lot against those rules before you commit to anything.
We submit the plans to the City of Dublin, answer every comment the city sends back, and resubmit until your permit is approved.
Permit fees are set by the City of Dublin and paid directly to the city. They depend on your project, so they are not part of our price.
The City of Dublin inspects the work at each stage. We book each inspection as the work finishes, so the site keeps moving.
Dublin is in Alameda County. Our office is in Newark. We also work in Pleasanton, Hayward and Union City.

The short version
An addition with Loona, in four lines
Typically $365 - $470 per sq ft, the same range as our ADUs, for design, engineering, permits and construction. Your exact price comes after we see your home, and it is locked in your contract.
How pricing worksOne team handles design, engineering, the city approval and construction, and manages every licensed crew.
See what’s includedA $1,000 deposit, then milestone payments, each one only after that work is done.
See the detailsAn addition makes your house bigger. An ADU is a separate home. We check what your lot allows for both.
Compare the twoHow long it takes
Approval by the City of Dublin is the longest wait before construction, so starting the paperwork early means you can build as soon as you’re ready.

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.”
