We're often asked what to expect when adding an ADU to your home. To answer this, we'll address three topics: ADU costs, realistic project timelines and the benefits of having a full-service design/build firm handle your remodel from start to finish.
Cost
We typically build ADUs above a pre-existing garage or as a stand alone-unit. Whether you want to rent the space out, host friends and family or create a beautiful live-in suite for your parents, an ADU is a great solution for those looking to add square footage and home value while still allowing for privacy and space apart from your main floor plan. Projects costs vary greatly depending on the type of project.
- $250,000 - $400,000 & up
Timeline
- Design & Pre-Construction: typically 3-6 months
- Engineering & Permitting: typically 3 months
- Construction: typically 6 months
