Building in Oceanside
What we handle for your Oceanside ADU
Every city plays by different rules. These are the ones that shape an ADU here.
No city impact fees
Oceanside charges no development impact fees on ADUs or Junior ADUs at any size, a rarity in San Diego County. Permit, plan check and school fees still apply, and we carry them in your budget.
We design to what's actually allowed
Parts of Oceanside's written ADU ordinance are older than state law. Where the two conflict, state law wins, and it usually works in your favor.
Simple garage conversions
Convert your garage and Oceanside does not require you to replace the parking you removed. Conversions also owe no new utility connection charges.
How it works
One team from lot check to keys
No handoffs between a designer, an expediter and a contractor. We own every step.
- 1
Lot check
We review your parcel against Oceanside rules: size, setbacks, utilities and any coastal or fire overlays.
- 2
Design and engineering
Floor plan, elevations, structural and Title 24, designed around how you will use the unit.
- 3
Oceanside permits
We submit to the City of Oceanside, answer every correction and keep your permit moving.
- 4
Build to keys
One crew, one point of contact, through final inspection and move-in.
Client reviews
What ADU clients say about Nucave
“Love my new ADU, every detail's exquisite, and I was shocked at how quickly it was done. Vaulted ceilings with skylights make mornings magical. Ryan and his team are absolutely amazing: efficient, attentive, meticulous. If you want a luxury ADU, not a prefab paper-thin build, it's quality.”
“Major props to the guys at Nucave for transforming our unfinished garage into a complete masterpiece of an ADU that our mom can now live in. They kept us in the loop about every update and had the place move-in ready the same week she made her drive.”
“Nucave was a lifesaver after another contractor was fired. The workmanship was exceptional, the price was competitive, and the materials were top of the line. They had my back in every way.”
