About Yardstake
Yardstake helps homeowners move from ADU uncertainty to confident next steps. We combine feasibility intelligence with marketplace matching so people can plan faster and choose better.
Our mission
ADU decisions are often blocked by fragmented zoning, unclear constraints, and inconsistent builder information. Yardstake is building a clearer path: structured property intelligence, confidence signaling, and marketplace workflows designed for real homeowner decisions.
We are not trying to be a generic listing site. We are building decision software and operational infrastructure that helps users understand what is feasible before they spend serious time or money.
What we do
- Feasibility checks with structured property inputs
- Confidence-oriented eligibility guidance
- Marketplace matching to relevant ADU partners
What we are not
- Not a contractor or licensed design authority
- Not a legal substitute for city review
- Not a one-size-fits-all directory
How to engage
- Run a property check
- Review matched providers
- Start an inquiry with context in place
Company context
Yardstake builds on an existing Rails 8 marketplace foundation and is actively evolving from a broad directory model into a feasibility-first managed marketplace model. The team is currently focused on quality of decisions, not volume of pages.
