PROJECT STATUS
The Project
Construction management for a remodel, addition, and new attached ADU
The 5173 Ewing Street project demonstrates how strategic construction management can transform an existing residence into a significantly more functional and valuable property while preserving the character of the original home.
The development includes a substantial remodel of the existing residence, a 242-square-foot home addition, and construction of a new attached two-story ADU. Rather than simply adding square footage, the project reimagines the property’s overall functionality by integrating new living spaces into a cohesive residential design.
Executing both renovation and new construction simultaneously requires detailed planning, sequencing, and coordination to ensure the existing structure and new addition function as one unified home upon completion.

Construction Management
Representing the owner’s interests, from planning through completion
Inabnet serves as the Construction Manager for the 5173 Ewing Street development, representing the owner’s interests throughout design coordination and construction. Unlike a traditional General Contractor, Inabnet provides independent project oversight focused on maintaining schedule, controlling costs, coordinating project stakeholders, and ensuring construction quality throughout every phase of work.
Because this project combines a residential remodel, structural addition, and new two-story ADU construction into one integrated development, careful sequencing is essential to minimize delays while maintaining quality and budget objectives.
