What affects the price

Building an ADU is a custom project, so costs vary based on your specific choices. Site conditions are the biggest factor; if your land requires significant grading, utility extensions, or foundation work, those expenses add up quickly. Choosing high-end finishes, custom cabinetry, or complex roof lines will also push the budget higher compared to a standard design. Prefabricated units often offer predictable costs, while custom site-built structures allow for more flexibility but can be harder to estimate upfront. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

An accessory dwelling unit is a secondary, self-contained living area located on the same lot as a primary residence. It includes its own kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area. You might hear these referred to as granny flats, carriage houses, or backyard cottages. You need to know this term when researching your local zoning codes, as it is the official legal definition used by building departments to regulate your project.
