What is an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)?
An accessory dwelling unit is a secondary unit to an existing home that people use as backyard homes, guest rooms, storage spaces, rental properties, and so on.
They can either be attached to a primary residence or added to a backyard. In some cases, you can also have a basement or garage conversion, adding more space to your property.
Most commonly, an accessory dwelling unit serves as a residential building. However, they can also be used for other reasons, including guest housing, rental properties, offices, studios, storage rooms, and so on.

About ADU.Works
Many of us live in accessory dwelling units ourselves. That’s how much we believe in ADUs. But as we looked around, we found that many ADUs on the market were too pricey or didn’t have the features we wanted.
Plus, the building process and customer service weren’t as good as they should be.
Construction times were longer than expected.
Customers had to obtain permits themselves.
We wanted to improve things, so we put together an ADU builder team with lots of experience in construction, project management, design, surveying, restoration, and engineering top create the most beautiful and affordable ADUs in the Bay Area and the rest of the state of California.
You may see a lot of prefab ADU builders out there… We are not one of them. We use the best technology possible to come up with quality PRE-ENGINEERED ADUs that have beautiful interior finishes and cost-effective designs.

Our ADU Building Process
01 Initial Consultation
During the Discovery Call, we will get to know you and your ADU needs. Our ADU Specialist will provide you with an overview of our models and processes and schedule a showroom visit to discuss the next steps.
02 Site Assessment
Our team will conduct a site assessment to determine the feasibility and placement options for your ADU, including evaluating site-specific costs. We will also research your property’s jurisdiction and permit requirements and include this information in the feasibility report. This report will also provide an estimate of the total cost of the ADU on your property.
03 Feasibility Report & Estimated Cost
After the site assessment, we’ll create a feasibility report to guide the following of the build process. The report will provide an estimated additional cost based on our base cost of the unit and include a layout of the proposed ADU, along with an estimate of any site-specific work needed to complete the project. Additionally, the report will be used to prepare the engineering of your ADU.
04 Build Agreement
Once you’ve decided to move forward, we will provide you with a Build Agreement that outlines the entire process from pre-development and engineering to the delivery of your ADU. This will include specific site-specific costs, the estimated timeline to complete the project, fee schedules, permit requirements, and the estimated cost of your ADU.
