We eliminated everything
homeowners hate about construction.

Schedule a Free Call →

The traditional building process is fragmented, unpredictable, and expensive. We built a better way.

01 — Pricing
Clear price. No hidden scope.
Our turnkey starting prices cover the standard model package and standard site conditions. Optional customization and unusual site conditions are priced separately and disclosed before contract.
02 — Service
Turn-key. We do it all.
We secure your building permits, construct your unit, and prepare your site. All you do is decide how to use your new guest home. One team, one contract, one price.
03 — Design
Pre-designed plans, built for you.
Choose from four meticulously designed floor plans. We offer full renderings of each finish package so visualization is easy — and customization is built into the process.
Floor Plans

Customizable models designed
with you in mind.

Four pre-designed guest home plans plus a custom unit path, built exclusively in Arizona. Each option is fully permitted, designed on a traditional foundation, and ready to build on your property.

Common Questions

Everything you want to know
before scheduling a call.

Does the price really include everything?
Our turnkey starting prices cover the standard model package for standard site conditions: design, permits, engineering, foundation, construction, and standard finish. Optional customization and unusual site conditions are priced separately and disclosed before contract. What we quote in your agreement is what you pay.
Will my property qualify?
Most Arizona properties with a lot size of 6,000 sq ft or larger qualify for an ADU. We've permitted across 8 municipalities in the Valley. The quickest way to find out is a free consultation — we'll tell you within the first 10 minutes.
How long does the full process take?
From signed contract to completed home is approximately 4 months. This includes permitting (which can take 2–3 months depending on the city) and construction. We'll give you a specific timeline for your project on the consultation call.
Can I use it as a rental?
Yes — many MLC clients do. Because every unit is fully permitted and built on a traditional foundation, it's eligible for both long-term rental and short-term rental (Airbnb, VRBO) in most Arizona jurisdictions.
What happens on the 15-minute call?
We review your property, walk through which floor plans work for your lot, and give you an exact price. There's no obligation and no sales pressure — just 15 minutes of information so you can make a clear decision.
Do I need to hire my own architect?
No. Our in-house architecture and engineering team is included in the fixed price. You don't manage anyone separately — one team, one contract, one price from start to finish.
