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.
Determining the cost requires looking at site preparation, foundation work, and the level of interior finishing you choose. Costs change based on whether you opt for a pre-designed layout or custom architecture. You should research these costs when you are ready to evaluate the financial return of your property upgrade.

Disadvantages can include the upfront cost of construction and potential impacts on existing utilities and privacy. In Tempe, you'll also want to consider local zoning laws that might affect size or placement. It's a good idea to discuss these with the pros before you start.
