“Everything we would have picked out was already in there.”
Richard & Maria · San Jose · 660 ft² · 1 Bed · Living closer to family
“I could tell that it was made very well. Everything looks top of the line, the fixtures, the windows, the kitchen. It’s awesome.”
Cindy Lou · Marina · 660 ft² · 1 Bed · Rental investment
“We are so excited. We cannot believe it’s already here!”
Allan & Renz · Los Altos · 945 ft² · 2 Bed · Housing parents
“Framework First is an incredible PreFab home. It really is a home! I did a lot of research on a number of PreFab options; some others felt like small, short-term guest houses you wouldn't want to live in. Our ADU has a walk-in closet, high ceilings, a full kitchen with a peninsula, a built-in bookcase, large windows, and a sliding glass door, with beautiful lighting both inside and out. All of this was included in the price, and we were never asked to pay anything more. Everyone at Framework First was absolutely great to work with. We absolutely LOVE our ADU!”
Rich Stephens · Los Gatos · 660 ft² · 1 Bed
“It was a dream come true when the crane, crew, and house came down the street. Nobody could afford such a project in Santa Cruz, but Framework First made the impossible possible!”
Stephen Dettle · Santa Cruz · Crane Delivery Day
“I was extremely pleased with my experience building my first ADU. I did not imagine I would go for a second one, which was just completed recently! This company is very organized, professional, helpful, expedient, and responsive to every inquiry. There is nothing out there that compares to Framework First.”
Sandy Zipagan · Built two ADUs, and counting
“Working with Cathy Canales, from Framework First, was an exceptional experience. I particularly appreciated that she considered her customer's best interest at heart, first and foremost, when making suggestions and giving advice.”
Mildred Price · Verified Google Review
“Cathy at Framework First was very helpful. She chatted with me prior to our scheduled meeting, and she had great insight and advice even though my situation was one that didn't end up requiring her business. Highly recommend this company if you want to build an ADU.”
Sharon Cherian · Verified Google Review
“My first telephone conversation with Cathy (Owner) was one of the best, positive and kind discussions. She was thinking outside of the box and provided a possible solution like a family member. Thank you.”

“Consultation was informative. They answered all my questions relating to my project.”
Augusto Dan Carrillo · Verified Google Review
“Very informative and helpful, just wish they did ADUs under 450 square feet!”

Your Turn

Ready to become the next story?

Every family above started with a property analysis. Tell us about yours below, and a real person on our team will follow up.

  • A shortlist of which models actually fit your lot
  • Honest flags on anything property-specific, like slope or septic
  • A clear next step, whether that is a factory tour or a feasibility study
  • No pressure, and no obligation

Once you submit, a real person on our team reviews your property and follows up within 1 to 2 business days to book your free 30-minute call. No call center, no drip campaign, just a conversation.

After we review your property, we'll invite you out to the factory, or send a member of our team to you, whichever fits your schedule better.
