Cutter Development Group manages luxury ADUs, factory-built homes, and SB9 land development across San Diego County — from first permit to final walkthrough.
We handle the coordination, communication, and field oversight that keeps factory-built home and ADU projects moving — so owners, developers, and housing teams don't have to chase the details themselves.
Comprehensive timelines built around your factory's production schedule, site readiness, and permit milestones — eliminating the gaps that cause costly delays.
End-to-end logistics from manufacturer to final placement. We coordinate factory, transporter, crane operator, and site crew so the set day runs on schedule.
Embedded field presence throughout your project. We track every open item, coordinate subcontractors, and close the punch list before it becomes a problem.
From HCD compliance to local building department sign-offs — we manage permits, schedule inspections, and keep your project in front of approvals, not behind them.
Specialized management for accessory dwelling units and SB9 lot splits. We know California's ADU regulations and put that knowledge to work from day one.
Your interests drive every decision. We represent you in the field, catch issues early, and communicate clearly so there are no surprises at closeout.
California's ADU laws, SB9 lot split rights, and the rise of high-quality factory-built construction have opened a new chapter in housing development. CDG is built to operate in exactly this environment.
California allows detached ADUs up to 1,200 sq ft and attached ADUs up to 50% of the primary dwelling — with streamlined permitting that has opened real opportunity across San Diego County. The law is favorable. The execution has to be precise.
California's SB9 law allows eligible single-family lots to split into two parcels, with up to two units per parcel — creating a path to four total units where one existed before. CDG manages development coordination from lot split approval through final occupancy.
Today's factory-built homes are architect-designed, energy-efficient, and built to meet or exceed site-built quality — in a fraction of the time. Builders like Dvele, Connect Homes, and Abodu are redefining what factory-built means in California.
Factory-built construction compresses the timeline — but concentrates the risk at the set. A poorly coordinated delivery or unprepared site can unravel weeks of factory production in a single day.
CDG is embedded from day one — managing communication between factory, transport, site crew, and inspectors so nothing falls through the cracks.
We review your site, goals, and factory partner before work begins. Permits, setbacks, utility connections, and HCD requirements are mapped before the first shovel moves.
From permit submission through delivery and set, we manage communication between all parties: factory, transport, site crew, inspectors, and the building department.
We drive the punch list to zero. Final inspections, utility sign-offs, and occupancy permits are tracked and scheduled until your project closes clean. No loose ends.
Every detail. Every delivery. Every project. That's the standard we hold — from the first stake in the ground to the final certificate of occupancy.
"The gap between a factory-built project that delivers exactly as promised and one that turns into a nightmare is almost always the same thing: who was managing the site, the schedule, and the communication. That's the work we do."
