Del Mar ADUs, built by the owner.
Del Mar’s lots are small, its design review is strict, and its homes are valuable. Troia builds ADUs that clear the City’s review and add real, lasting value, with the owner on site throughout.
Why build an ADU in Del Mar?
Building in Del Mar means working within one of the most design-conscious jurisdictions in the county. Bulk, scale, and view impacts all matter here. We plan the ADU to respect those constraints from the first sketch so it sails through review rather than stalling in it.
On Del Mar’s compact lots, every square foot counts. We are precise with setbacks and height, and we sequence the build tightly so a small site never becomes a long, disruptive project for you or your neighbors.

Approvals in Del Mar.
Del Mar is its own city with its own Design Review process, separate from the County and the City of San Diego. Most of Del Mar is also in the Coastal Zone. We prepare submittals specifically for Del Mar’s standards and manage the review so the project keeps moving.
We handle drawings, submittal, plan-check responses, and inspections, so you get a finished ADU instead of a paperwork project.
