Bend, Oregon · Pre-approved ADU builder

Bend already approved the plans. We build them.

The City of Bend will skip plan review for five free, pre-approved ADU designs. Williams West builds all five. Pick a plan, we handle the site plan, the permit, and every nail after that.

What "pre-approved" means for you

The City already checked the house. We just have to check your lot.

Read the full ADU guide

No architect bill

The plans are complete, engineered, and licensed to the City for permitting inside Bend city limits. That usually saves $5,000 to $10,000 in design fees before anything else.

A shorter permit

Review focuses on site issues like setbacks and lot coverage instead of the whole structure. One permit, submitted online, no land-use hearing.

Built exactly as drawn

The trade-off: the plans can't be changed. We help you pick the right one and the right pre-approved options, then build it to the sheet.

How it works

From lot check to keys, in order.

Day 0 · Free

Lot check & booking

You send your address and the plan you're eyeing, then pick a time for a 30-minute call. We pull the zoning, setbacks and lot coverage from City records before we meet.

Week 1

30-minute call

By phone or video. We go over which plans fit, where they'd sit on your lot, utilities and access, budget and timeline. Afterward we send pricing for your plan at all three finish levels.

Week 2–3

Property visit & written estimate · $500

We price your plan, lot and finish levels into a detailed written estimate. The $500 fee is credited in full toward your contract.

Week 3

Contract & deposit

We sign a written construction agreement that spells out the plan, the scope, the estimated price, the payment schedule and the timeline. A deposit locks in your place on our calendar and lets us start the permit work.

Week 3–4 · then 4–8 wks review

Site plan & permit

We prepare the site plan, checklists, and End User Agreement and submit through the City's CityView portal.

3–7 months by plan

Build

Foundation to finish with weekly photo updates, and one point of contact the whole way: the owner, not a rotating project manager.

Done

Keys

Final inspection, a walkthrough together, and a written warranty.
