The idea
Wider, so the living room feels like a living room.
Where The Gilbert runs long and narrow, The Chandler goes wide. Twenty-two feet across gives the kitchen, island and living room one open room the full width of the building — space for a sofa, a TV wall and three stools at the island at the same time.
Both bedrooms sit together at the back, away from the front door, with the bath and laundry between them and the living space. It is the plan for a family or a tenant who will spend their evenings in it.
02
Two real bedrooms
Each takes a queen bed and has its own closet — a real second bedroom, not an office with a futon.
03
Double vanity and laundry
A full bath with two sinks, and a side-by-side washer and dryer closet inside.
Floor plan
Living up front, bedrooms in back.
Kitchen, island and living room share one open room across the front; the bath, laundry and both bedrooms sit behind it. Final dimensions are drawn to your lot and setbacks.
| Room | Dimension |
|---|---|
| Kitchen + great room | approx. 22′ × 17′ |
| Kitchen island | 9′, seats 3 |
| Bedroom 1 | approx. 11′ × 11′ + closet |
| Bedroom 2 | approx. 10½′ × 10½′ + closet |
| Bath | tub/shower, double vanity |
| Laundry | side-by-side W/D closet |
| Conditioned area | 792 sq ft |
Room sizes are read from the current plan set and rounded; the drawings for your lot are part of the price and are finalized before permit submittal.

Built for Arizona heat. The roof is sealed with spray foam instead of sitting over a vented attic, so there is no superheated attic space above the ceiling in July. The casita stays cooler, the mini-split works less, and there are no roof or gable vents for dust and monsoon rain to get into.
Quoted separately
What depends on your lot.
Every one of these is priced from a published schedule during pre-qualification, before you sign anything. No line item on this list is ever discovered mid-build.
- Electrical service panel upgrade, where the existing panel can’t carry the load
- Water, sewer and electrical runs beyond the standard distance from the main house
- Extreme grade correction
- Removing or restoring pools, patios, walls, or mature landscaping
- HOA architectural submittal — we prepare it; association fees vary
- Refrigerator and finish upgrades beyond the standard package
One rule worth knowing early. Arizona law caps a casita at the lesser of 1,000 sq ft or 75% of your main house. A 792 sq ft casita needs a primary home of at least 1,056 sq ft. Our free lot check tells you in the first conversation.

What people build it for
The model for a household, not just a guest.
Family rental
A couple with a child, or a single parent — tenants who want a real living room and sign for years, not months.
A parent moving in
Enough room to bring the furniture they care about, plus a second bedroom for a caregiver or visiting grandkids.
Office and guest room
One bedroom for work, one for guests, and a great room big enough to live in between visits.
Multigenerational living
Adult children and a grandchild, or grandparents who help with the kids — with a door and a kitchen of their own.
The process
Four stages. No surprises in any of them.
01
Free lot check
We check your parcel, setbacks, utilities and HOA before you spend a dollar. Some lots don’t work, and we would rather tell you in week one.
02
Design & written price
Pick a model and your finishes. You get one number, in writing, that doesn’t move unless you change the scope.
03
Permits handled
We run the city submittal end to end — plan review, corrections, approval. You sign where the owner has to sign, and nothing else.
04
Build
Slab, framing, finish. Photo updates against a milestone schedule, then a walkthrough before you take the keys.
Price it on your lot
See what The Chandler costs on your lot.
Four questions. We’ll follow up with a real number for your property, including whether your city allows a casita this size.
We usually reply the same business day. If your lot doesn’t qualify, we’ll tell you that instead of booking a sales call.
