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.
