Building in Vista
What we handle for your Vista ADU
Every city plays by different rules. These are the ones that shape an ADU here.
Pre-approved plans, done right
Vista has a pre-approved plan program for single-family lots that can shorten plan check. We pair it with the site work every lot still needs: utilities, grading and placement.
Big enough for a family
Detached ADUs in Vista go up to 1,200 sq ft. Our Hillside Terrace build fits three bedrooms and two baths on one story, under vaulted ceilings.
Two-story options
Vista allows two-story ADUs above garages or attached to the home, with 5-foot setbacks. Detached units need 5 feet of separation from the main house, which we check before design.

Client reviews
What ADU clients say about Nucave
“Nucave brought my ADU vision to life. I had a dilapidated detached garage with many issues, and they guided me in the right direction and helped me overcome obstacle after obstacle with the city of San Diego. They did everything they said they would do and more.”
“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.”
