ADUs offer several advantages:

• Affordable Housing: They provide an affordable housing option without the need for purchasing additional land or major new infrastructure.

• Additional Income: Homeowners can generate rental income by leasing the ADU.

• Family Flexibility: ADUs allow extended families to live close together while maintaining privacy.

• Efficient Use of Space: They make use of underutilized spaces, enhancing property value and utility.

ADUs can share utilities with the main home or have separate meters. Some cities require separate sewer and water connections. Our ADU consultants will assess your electrical panel to determine if it can support your ADU or if an upgrade is needed.

Our costs range from $125,000 to $300,000+, depending on size, location, and materials. Garage conversions are typically the cheapest, while detached ADUs are the most expensive.

View some of our models and consult with our ADU specialists for pricing. 

Our pricing does not include utilities and permits as they vary by property.

Permits are required for construction, zoning, and utilities. The permit process takes 3-5 months and varies by city. California law requires cities to approve or deny ADU applications within 60 days.
