What clients say
Mark PreudhommePhoenix
MLC is a fantastic team and delivered an amazing unit. From sales to design, all the way through construction, we felt as though we had a dedicated and talented group always working to make it the best it could be. Their attention to detail meant the final product exceeded our very high initial expectations.
Tina HawkinsPhoenix
They were super responsive, made time to meet regularly, sent frequent emails outlining schedules, and the final product is incredible. Built from the foundation up on site, the quality is fantastic. Everyone who's seen it is so impressed.

If you are looking to build in your yard, contact this company. They handle everything starting with the feasibility study and permitting to the finishing touches. There was great communication throughout the entire process.

Most Arizona properties on a lot of 6,000 sq ft or larger qualify for an ADU. We have permitted in 8 cities across the Valley.
Yes. Every unit is fully permitted and built on a traditional foundation, so it is eligible for long-term and short-term rental, including Airbnb and VRBO, in most Arizona jurisdictions.
No. In-house architecture and engineering are included in the price. One team, one contract, one price.
