Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is an ADU, and how can it benefit me?
An ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) is a smaller home built on your property—like a guest house, studio, or rental unit. It can create passive income, provide space for family, or offer a simpler lifestyle without moving away.
Do I need to have an extra-large lot size?
No. Many homeowners convert part of their existing space or use backyard land to build. We help you explore the most cost-effective and practical options for your unique situation.
How long does the whole process take?
The timeline depends on your contractor, local rules, and your dwelling size and layout—but that’s exactly what we figure out together. Book a session and let us map out a clear, personalized plan just for you.
How much does it cost to build an ADU?
Most homeowners spend between $40,000 and $300,000 building their unit. The average cost by size is $150 to $300 per square foot. Prices range widely due to different types of construction, including converting a basement or garage into an apartment or building a free-standing structure on your property.
