ADU Pilot
AI-generated ADU feasibility, zoning, and permit-risk reports by property address
ADU Pilot is an AI-powered feasibility platform for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and related residential projects. Given a property address, it generates a cited PDF/DOCX report covering zoning district and buildable envelope, permit pathway, fee-aware sizing, construction cost estimates, and site-risk flags (utility easements, fire zone, seismic, flood zone), with findings cited to source data and law.
Why This Tool Exists
Architects, contractors, and developers evaluating an ADU or small residential project often discover zoning conflicts, setback violations, or permit-blocking site conditions only after design work has already started, wasting fees and time.
ADU Pilot cross-references parcel GIS data, assessor records, and local/state code to produce a source-cited feasibility report before design begins, flagging site risks and permit pathway up front.

Free bounded dimensional check that compares one measured walking-surface clear width — a continuous run or a point reduction — against the ADA 2010 §403.5.1 condition: 36 inches minimum, or 32 inches for up to 24 inches where reduced segments are separated by segments at least 48 inches long and 36 inches wide. This preview does not determine whether the complete route or facility complies with the ADA Standards, and does not check door maneuvering clearances (§404.2) or turning spaces (§304).
A bounded dimension check for the four elevator-car configurations in ADA 2010 Table 407.4.1. It compares door clear width, inside side-to-side width, back-wall-to-front-return depth, and back-wall-to-inside-door depth. It does not determine whether an elevator is required or test controls, signals, doors, timing, communication, alterations, or building-code compliance.
