Michael Fischer is a Scottsdale-based residential remodeling and construction contractor working across Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Cave Creek, Rio Verde, Carefree and Phoenix. Quotes are free. If you've landed here searching for ADU construction, read this part first: a ground-up detached accessory dwelling unit is not one of the six services on our list. What we do have is the design, drafting and permitting side that every ADU or casita project lives or dies on, plus the interior and exterior construction work that turns a shell into somewhere people actually want to stay.
So if your plan involves converting existing square footage, finishing out a guest space, opening a wall onto a courtyard, or drawing up a floor plan before you talk to anyone about building it — those are conversations worth having. If you need a standalone dwelling framed from a bare pad, say so on the first call and you'll get a straight answer about whether it's a fit.

Design, Drafting and Permits Come Before the Build
Most guest-space and casita-style projects in this part of the Valley stall for the same reason: there's no drawing set anyone can build from or submit. Drafting happens in-house here. Floor plans get developed in AutoCAD, you see the space in 3D rendering before a single wall moves, and the drawings leave in a form a plan reviewer will accept. Project management runs through the build itself, so the same person who drew it is the one answering for it on site.
We bring every project to life with in-house AutoCAD drafting, 3D renderings, floor plan development and project management.
That matters on Scottsdale and Paradise Valley lots in particular, where setbacks, lot coverage and HOA review can quietly reshape what you thought you were getting. Better to find that out on a drawing than on a foundation.
How a Project Starts
- We walk the property together and measure what's actually there — not what the old plans claim.
- You tell us how the space needs to work, and who's going to be using it.
- Floor plans get drafted in AutoCAD and priced, so the scope and the number arrive together.
- You see the 3D renderings and change your mind on paper, where changes are free.
- The permit set goes out for submittal and review.
- Construction runs under Michael's project management until the final walkthrough.
