Yes, it is legal to build an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in your Denver backyard in 2026, provided you comply with updated state and local regulations. Under the implementation of Colorado HB24-1152, building standards for ADUs take effect in 2026 to streamline approvals and make construction on existing lots more feasible.
In Denver, you must adhere to specific Denver metro ADU development codes, which include the following requirements:
Because regulations and building codes are subject to regular updates, it is essential to consult with the Denver local planning department and a licensed structural engineer before beginning your project.
The cost of foundation repair in 2026 varies significantly based on the specific challenges of your property, particularly due to the expansive clay soils and freeze-thaw cycles common in the Front Range. Because every home is different, we utilize a…
Choosing between foundation piering and crack injection involves weighing long-term structural stabilization against localized sealing. As family-owned and operated since 1996, we provide both services, but their costs reflect very different scopes of work. Crack Injection Epoxy Injection / Crack…
The ICC-ES AC358 (Acceptance Criteria for Helical Pile Systems) provides the essential framework we use to evaluate and verify helical pile lateral resistance. Unlike standard design tables, AC358 evaluation reports are based on results from full-scale testing conducted by accredited…
Determining the lateral load capacity for ICC-ES compliance involves a multi-layered engineering approach that combines full-scale laboratory testing, shaft geometry analysis, and field validation. To meet ICC-ES AC358 standards, the lateral capacity of our helical pier systems is determined through…
During the continuous special inspection of a helical pile installation, our team and the assigned special inspector must record specific field data to verify that the as-built foundation aligns with the engineered design and IBC 2026 requirements. We record the…
