Building in Cupertino
Every city in our area is its own jurisdiction with its own review process. What's true in one does not carry across the city line — which is why this page exists rather than a single generic service-area page.
Much of Cupertino's stock is 1950s–70s single-family on flat, regular lots. Those are good candidates for additions and detached ADUs, and the flat sites keep site work from becoming the surprise line item.
We work throughout Cupertino — whether you're in Monta Vista, Rancho Rinconada, the Stevens Creek corridor, or the area near Apple Park, the build is the same standard.
Permits. Work in Cupertino is permitted through the City of Cupertino Building Division. We carry the submittal and the plan-check corrections — that is our job, not yours.

What a Cupertino project costs
We publish our real ranges rather than making you book a call to find them out, and our minimum project size is $20,000. What moves a number in Cupertino is rarely the finishes — it is the site, the utilities and what turns up once something is opened.
Public record
Permits and ADU rules in Cupertino
These are links to the city's own pages, not our summary of them. We carry the submittal and the plan-check corrections on a project we build, so this is not information you have to act on yourself. It is here because you should be able to check it either way.
Cupertino publishes an ADU information sheet and a "Steps to a Completed ADU" handout, and the Planning Department will look at preliminary plans by email before you submit.
Pre-approved ADU plans. Cupertino publishes a gallery of pre-approved ADU plans that homeowners can build from. Since AB 1332 took effect on January 1, 2025, California cities have had to run a pre-approved ADU plan program and post the approved plans publicly. Where a usable plan exists it can take real time and design cost out of a project, because the design has already been reviewed and only the site-specific work is left.

Links checked August 2026 and pointing at government pages. Cities change both their pages and their rules, so confirm anything current with the City of Cupertino Building Division. We deliberately do not publish Cupertino permit fees or review times here: those move, they vary by project, and a number that is out of date is worse than no number at all.
