What is an
Accessory Dwelling Unit?

Accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, are small, self-contained living spaces that are built on the same property as a single-family home. ADUs are also known as granny flats, in-law units, or secondary suites. They are becoming increasingly popular as a way to add affordable housing to neighborhoods and provide a source of income for homeowners.

Some ADUs are detached from the main living space, such as a separate guesthouse or carriage house. Others are attached ADU models, such as a basement apartment or a garage conversion. ADUs provide you with more space for your family, build the value of your primary house, and generate extra income through rentals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an ADU and why should I consider building one?

An ADU, also known as an accessory dwelling unit, is an additional living space constructed on the same lot as the primary residence, typically a single-family property. Building an ADU has numerous benefits, such as generating rental income, creating a multi-generational living space, increasing property value, and helping to alleviate the housing crisis.

ADUs can take various forms, including attached or detached units, garage or basement conversions, and others. They are also known by other names such as carriage houses, in-law suites, or granny flats.

To obtain more information about ADUs, including their costs, advantages, and disadvantages, please refer to our blog post: A Complete Guide to ADUs: Definition, Costs, Pros, and Cons.

How long does it take to build an ADU with ADU.Works?

We pride ourselves on our efficient construction and building systems that enable us to complete the on-site build of your ADU in just 60 days. However, the permitting process can vary in timeline depending on the jurisdiction and their review and approval processes.

For example, some jurisdictions may have a backlog of permit applications due to high demand for ADUs or other construction projects, causing delays in the review and approval processes. 

Rest assured that we work closely with the local jurisdictions to ensure a smooth and timely permitting process. Our team will handle all the necessary paperwork and coordination to help move your project through the permitting process as efficiently as possible.

Structurally Insulated Panels

Structurally Insulated Panels

SIPs are made up of insulating foam cores sandwiched tightly between two structural facings that are designed and precisely manufactured off-site. Once these are completed, it only takes 30-60 days of onsite work and one contractor to complete your ADU.

Helical Piles Foundation

Helical Piles Foundation

A helical pile is a steel shaft with helices that is screwed into the ground to help anchor the ADU to the soil. This process requires only small machinery and a team of 2-3 people to complete in about 3 days.

Pre-engineered Plan Sets

Pre-engineered Plan Sets

Pre-engineered plan sets are ready-to-build diagrams which allows for quick, reliable & simple construction process – streamlining the need for inventorying materials or planning.
