How Does ADU Construction Work in Wilmington?

Your ADU project begins with zoning verification to confirm what you can build on your property, followed by securing the necessary building permits through New Hanover County Permits & Inspections. We handle every detail-from initial site assessment and architectural planning to final inspections-so you never have to navigate the permitting maze alone.

Throughout construction, you can expect clear communication, adherence to Wilmington's fire and life-safety codes enforced by the Fire Department Inspections division, and a finished unit that's structurally sound and ready for occupancy. Delaney's Coastal Construction LLC ensures every phase respects minimum housing code standards, preventing issues like structural problems or unsafe conditions that could trigger violations.

We coordinate closely with the city's Code Enforcement Division to address everything from proper debris disposal to vegetation management, keeping your project compliant and your neighborhood standards intact. Each build is tailored to Wilmington's coastal climate, accounting for humidity, salt air, and the region's unique housing styles-from historic downtown properties to modern beachside lots.
