ADUs in Agoura Hills
— Your City Pre-Approved the Plans
Agoura Hills runs its own pre-approved ADU program with reduced fees, and most homeowners have never heard of it. We put it to work for you: a design fitted to your lot, permits walked through the city's own Building & Safety counter on Ladyface Court, and one licensed family crew from first drawing to final inspection.
Got it — we’ll call you shortly.
A member of the Mayer’s team will reach out personally. If it’s urgent, call (888) 394-4041.

The ADU program your city already built for you
Agoura Hills is one of the only cities on this stretch of the 101 that runs its own Building & Safety counter, City Hall on Ladyface Court, not a county office two towns over. It also runs its own pre-approved ADU program: unit plans the city has already vetted, with reduced fees when your project uses them. In plain terms, that means fewer plan-check rounds, lower city-side fees, and a shorter line between deciding to build and holding a permit.
- Pre-approved city ADU plans
- 60-day state clock on complete apps
- Garage conversions welcome
Two honest notes from the counter
The city's plan catalog gets refreshed as the state building code changes, so we confirm the current set before you commit to one.
And you're never locked into a catalog plan. State law requires the city to process any complete ADU application ministerially, on a 60-day clock. Pre-approved is the head start, not the only road.
A detached unit in Old Agoura, a garage conversion in Morrison Ranch
No two Agoura lots ask for the same unit. In Old Agoura, the larger horse properties have room for a full detached ADU, and a neighborhood character the city expects new buildings to respect, which is exactly what an in-house design team is for. In Morrison Ranch, Fountainwood, Lake Lindero, and the other family tracts built in the '60s and '70s, the smart move is often a garage conversion or a compact backyard unit: a place for parents to live close without sharing a hallway, an adult kid staying near, or a long-term rental.
On the hillside streets off Kanan Road, slope and access decide the design before style does. We check setbacks, grade, and utility runs on the first visit, so the plan we draw is the plan the city stamps.

Walkthroughs, inspections, keys
Scheduled walkthroughs, final inspections, and the keys in your hand.
A licensed builder, not an ADU brand
A lot of what looks like an ADU company online is a marketing brand. The lead gets sold, and the crew that turns up is whoever was free that month. Mayer's Construction is a licensed California general contractor. CA License #1063024, family-owned since 2009, 5.0-star rated across California. The people who draw your unit and the people who pour its foundation work for the same family.
That matters most at the counter. Somebody has to know which plan set the city is issuing right now, what a complete submittal looks like on Ladyface Court, and how to answer a correction without losing three weeks. The Bay Area's 5.0-star design-build team, now serving Agoura Hills.

In our clients’ words
Rated 5.0 on Google
They worked hard to capture our vision, and if we ever ran into any issues, they worked with us to figure them out. We would happily use them again for another project.
High-quality materials, outstanding craftsmanship, and a very professional team. The entire project was well organized and completed on time, with great attention to detail.
Impeccable workmanship. Mike was a stickler for quality — insisting the tiles have mitred corners, even if I didn’t ask for it. Great communications, every step of the way.
