Gil Vaisman is the founder and CEO of Go ADU Construction, a Los Angeles–based design-build firm redefining how homeowners approach Accessory Dwelling Units and garage conversions. With an unconventional background as a professional picture editor in Hollywood, Gil brings a storyteller’s attention to detail and clarity to an industry often plagued by confusion, surprise costs, and poor communication. Frustrated by the lack of transparency in construction, he set out to build what he calls the “Anti-Contractor”—a client-first, tech-enabled company that simplifies permitting, zoning, and engineering so homeowners can confidently turn ADUs into smart, long-term investments.
