Cover Sets New Standard with Completion of First ADU in Redondo Beach

Cover Completes First ADU in Redondo Beach

Cover, a design-build company based in Los Angeles, has recently completed its first custom accessory dwelling unit (ADU) in North Redondo Beach, California. This 924 square foot unit includes two bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms, and it exemplifies the ease and efficacy of utilizing a single integrated team for the construction of such homes.

Traditionally, homeowners face the daunting task of coordinating multiple contractors — including architects, engineers, and various permitting agents — when embarking on an ADU project. However, by partnering with Cover, the homeowners streamlined their experience. Cover's integrated approach enabled them to manage every aspect of the construction process, from site planning and design to engineering, permitting, utilities, foundations, and actual installation, all under one contract. Not only does this reduce stress for homeowners, but it also leads to a more predictable building timeline.

Construction processes have also been optimized. Once the foundations were poured, the modular building systems used for the ADU allowed for on-site assembly without needing heavy machinery, and the entire unit was installed in less than two months. The layout was carefully designed with multigenerational living in mind, featuring bedrooms situated at either end of the space to ensure privacy while maintaining connectivity through central open living areas. The space is ideal for families looking to remain close yet independent from one another.

The innovative design of this ADU utilizes Cover's precision-engineered steel panel system, which is produced locally in Los Angeles. This efficient building method significantly reduces construction waste and minimizes disruption to the surrounding neighborhood while successfully adhering to California’s rigorous structural and energy standards. Remarkably, the entire project took just over seven months from the initial permit submission in April 2025 to the anticipated move-in date in November 2025.

Alexis Rivas, CEO of Cover, commented on the project, stating, "We build ADUs and full homes with a single integrated system that replaces the fragmented status quo. This Redondo Beach ADU illustrates that when one team handles the entire process, families benefit from a better design and a quicker path to a quality home. This model is at the heart of every ADU and full home we are constructing across Southern California."

As the demand for ADUs continues to rise across California, many homeowners in Redondo Beach and beyond are looking for efficient methods to add value to their properties. Cover’s recent completion demonstrates a promising solution that combines quality craftsmanship with a simplified, less stressful approach to homebuilding.
