You don’t have to pay the full ADU cost upfront with Apex Homes. Instead, Apex uses a milestone-based payment schedule that spreads costs across different phases of the project.
How Payments Work
- $1,000 – Initial non-refundable retainer
-
Initial Deposit (5%) – When you sign the proposal and retainer, covering feasibility studies and site analysis.
-
Permit Submission (5%) – Paid once the design package is submitted to the city for permits.
-
Construction Start (5%) – When on-site building begins.
-
Foundation (15%) – After the foundation is completed.
-
Framing (20%) – Once the structural framing is in place.
-
MEP (20%) – After Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing installations are complete.
-
Rough Finish (20%) – Covers drywall, flooring, cabinetry, and interior finishing.
-
Completion (10%) – Final payment upon project completion and cleanup (not dependent on utility activation).
This adds up to 100% of the total project cost, but payments are broken into installments tied to progress .
