Construction Services in
Peoria & Surprise, Arizona
New construction, growing-market spec builds, and family custom homes — the West Valley is one of Arizona's fastest-growing residential markets.
The West Valley's Rising Construction Market
Peoria and Surprise are two of the fastest-growing cities in the country. Land is still available, new communities are being master-planned, and buyer demand remains strong. For investors and owner-occupants alike, the West Valley offers compelling value versus the saturated East Valley and Scottsdale markets. We build throughout Peoria and Surprise — from active adult communities in Sun City Grand to new family custom homes in Vistancia.
Peoria permits ADUs on a foundation under Zoning Ordinance Section 21-316, while units on wheels are classified as RVs and cannot serve as permanent residences. The city amended Sections 21-300, 21-400, 21-600, 21-700, and 21-800 to align with Arizona HB 2720's ADU mandate, and separately updated its code under HB2721 to permit duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and townhomes within one mile of the Central Business District. Plan review runs through Peoria's Development Services online portal, with expedited review available by request for pre-authorized projects.
Surprise operates under the 2024 IRC with local amendments, and typical ADU approval takes about six weeks from submission — detached ADUs require full building, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits, while garage or basement conversions must meet the same residential habitability standards for egress, insulation, and ventilation as new construction. Simple projects in Surprise can sometimes qualify for expedited or over-the-counter review.
