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
Using an ADU as a rental involves converting a space on your property into a legal unit you can lease to tenants. This provides a steady stream of passive income, but it requires compliance with local landlord-tenant laws and ADU-specific zoning rules regarding long-term or short-term rentals. You need this service when you want to maximize your property's financial potential. Costs depend on the level of interior finish and separate utility metering.
