For Distributors
The California ADU opportunity is now
California added over 1.2 million ADU permits since 2020. Legislation has removed the barriers. The market needs a quality, repeatable product — and a dealer network to deliver it.
01
Proven Market Demand
California issued more ADU permits in 2023 than any year on record. SB 9, AB 68 and statewide pre-approval programs have made ADU development faster and more accessible than ever before.
02
Regulatory Tailwind
California law now mandates streamlined ADU permitting statewide. Approval timelines have shortened from 6–12 months to 30–60 days in many jurisdictions — removing the #1 barrier to sales.
03
Premium Scandinavian Product
Natural oak cabinetry, stone countertops, large-format windows. A product your customers will recognize as genuinely different — and that justifies a premium price point.
04
Full Manufacturer Support
Professional renderings, marketing materials, technical documentation, and direct sales support. You focus on your local market — we equip you to close.
05
Territory Opportunity
Early-mover advantage. We are selecting California dealer partners now. Qualified distributors can secure exclusive or protected service territories before the network is established.
06
Factory-Built Repeatability
Each unit built to the same specification in a controlled factory environment. Consistent quality, predictable delivery, and no site-by-site variability in your customer experience.
For Homeowners
Put your property to work
California rental demand is at record levels. A quality ADU on your property generates income from day one — with Scandinavian design that your tenants will love and your neighbors will respect.
