You can submit a Maryland ADU project request using the form below. Maryland ADU Guide is preparing a small referral network for homeowners who have already checked their jurisdiction, project type and major site constraints. The form accepts requests; submitting one does not guarantee a professional match or introduction.
This is a pilot. Submitting a project does not guarantee a match, quote, permit approval or project availability. Maryland ADU Guide is an independent research publication and is not a contractor, architect, lender or permitting agency.
What happens next
- We review the project details you submit.
- If a relevant participating professional appears to fit, your information may be shared for follow-up.
- If no suitable option is available, a match is not guaranteed.
Before requesting a match
You will get more useful conversations if you first know the basics of the property. Use the Jurisdiction Finder and Property Feasibility Checker, then estimate your budget with the Maryland ADU Cost Calculator.
What makes a useful project request
- Maryland property location or jurisdiction
- Attached, detached, garage/basement conversion or undecided
- Approximate desired size
- Public water/sewer or private well/septic
- Approximate budget range
- Target start window
- Help needed: builder, designer/architect, prefab/modular, engineering, septic/site work or financing
Pilot status
The professional network and verification process are still being developed. We will not present a company as “best” because it pays for placement. Editorial builder comparisons remain separate from commercial participation.
Homeowners: use the Maryland ADU Builder Map to find professionals by county, then use our Maryland ADU Builders & Prefab comparison to understand delivery models, licensing checks, quote scope and deposit questions.
Maryland ADU professionals: companies interested in the pilot can use the contact details on our site to introduce their services, Maryland service area, applicable license/registration information and the types of ADU projects they accept. Participation does not guarantee editorial coverage or ranking.
How project requests are handled
Project requests are collected for the stated project-assistance purpose. Any sharing of project details and contact information is subject to the consent shown on the form. An introduction is not an endorsement. Homeowners should independently verify licensing, insurance, references, contract terms and permit responsibility before hiring anyone.
Maryland ADU Guide provides independent planning information. We do not guarantee contractor performance, pricing, financing, project feasibility or permit approval.
What to do next
Start by finding the office that reviews your property. A mailing city or a county guide does not establish your parcel’s authority.
- Find Who Reviews My Property.
- Obtain your parcel identifier, survey, floor plans and utility records.
- Ask the reviewing office which current rules, supporting documents and approvals apply.
- Continue to your planning workspace.
