"We went on vacation to the Philippines in November, right as they were getting started on construction,"
"When we returned in March of this year, the house was ready for us."
"The total time from permit submittal to certificate of occupancy was 104 days,"
"When they moved to a village where there were no schools, the parents were so happy their children wouldn't have to walk to another village to go to school that they built them a home."
Alvaro and Nenette Alcazar downsized from a six-bedroom New Orleans home into a 570-square-foot, one-bedroom ADU behind their son's house in Harbor Gateway, Los Angeles. The modular ADU was built by Gardena-based Cover and finished in roughly 3½ months. Permit approval took 45 days and the total time from permit submittal to certificate of occupancy was 104 days. Cover credited the city's Standard Plan and the ADU's integrated panelized system for the rapid pace. The Alcazars had lived 54 years in New Orleans before moving. The construction process and worker collaboration reminded Al of bayanihan, a Filipino communal value.
