ADU Feasibility & Preconstruction Services in Moreno Valley & Riverside County
Professional ADU Feasibility, Preconstruction Planning, Budget Analysis, and Timeline Guidance for Homeowners and Investors in Moreno Valley, Riverside County, and the Inland Empire
Building an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a major financial and regulatory decision. Zoning requirements, site constraints, utility capacity, and permitting timelines can vary significantly from one property to the next.
Pendleton Construction provides paid ADU feasibility and preconstruction planning services designed to help homeowners and investors understand whether an ADU is realistically achievable before committing to architectural design, engineering, or construction.
Our process focuses on clarity, risk awareness, and informed decision-making — not free estimates or sales-driven assessments.

Why We Don’t Offer Free ADU Assessments
Many contractors advertise free ADU assessments. In most cases, these are informal site visits intended to sell construction services rather than evaluate feasibility.
We take a different approach.
Pendleton Construction does not offer free ADU assessments because early ADU decisions carry real financial, regulatory, and design risk. Our clients rely on documented analysis, realistic budget ranges, and honest constraints — not assumptions.
A paid ADU feasibility review allows us to:
- Evaluate zoning and ADU regulations at a high level
- Identify potential site limitations and access issues
- Provide realistic budget and timeline expectations
- Document assumptions and risks clearly
- Offer unbiased guidance, even if the recommendation is not to proceed
Some property owners are looking for free opinions. Others want professional clarity before investing significant time and money.
We work with the second group.

ADU Preconstruction Pricing
ADU feasibility pricing is based on property complexity and regulatory considerations.
All preconstruction services are paid upfront and include documented deliverables. There is no obligation to proceed with construction.
Our ADU Preconstruction Process
- Initial Call – Confirm goals, property details, and fit
- Paid Preconstruction Engagement – Feasibility analysis begins
- Site Review and Analysis – Constraints, budgets, and assumptions evaluated
- Clear Next Steps – Proceed, redesign, or pause with confidence
This process ensures ADU decisions are based on facts rather than speculation.
Who We Work With
Pendleton Construction typically works with:
- Homeowners evaluating ADU feasibility responsibly
- Small investors analyzing ADUs for rental income or resale value
- Property owners who value planning, documentation, and risk control
We are not a fit for projects seeking free assessments or preliminary opinions without formal analysis.
