Why Great ADUs Start With Great Planning: Meet Gather ADU

The experts behind our permitting and site planning—and how their precision sets every Casden project up for success.

A Solid ADU Starts Before the Build

At Casden, we focus on delivering modular ADUs that are fast, affordable, and high quality. But the truth is—none of that matters if the site isn't ready.

Before we can drop a unit onto your property, there’s a lot of important stuff that has to happen: utilities, permitting, grading, setbacks. That’s where Gather ADU comes in.

They're the team we trust to handle all the ADU plans and permits so our installs can move smoothly and on time.

What Gather Handles

Gather ADU focuses on the front end of the ADU process. That includes things like:

• Figuring out where the unit should go on your property

• Planning how to connect power, water, and sewer

• Getting everything approved by your local city or county

• Handling setbacks, grading, and any custom site challenges

They also know our product line, so the engineering and permitting go faster than usual. It’s a big reason why we’re able to deliver in under 6 months.

We Recommend Gather ADU Because:

• They know what they’re doing when it comes to city approvals.

• They’ve already done the plans for our modular units, so it speeds things up.

• They help homeowners avoid a lot of delays and surprises.

• It just makes the whole process easier for everyone.

Having the site handled the right way from the beginning makes everything else that much simpler. That’s why we work with them.

A Better Experience for Homeowners

When someone uses Gather to prep their site and get permits handled, we can step in and finish the rest. There’s no need to coordinate five different teams—everything’s already in motion.

You save time, reduce costs, and don’t have to wonder what’s next. We’re both focused on making the ADU process easier for homeowners who just want a simple, clear path forward.
