What's an ADU?

An accessory dwelling unit, or ADU for short, is a secondary living space built on the same lot of land as a primary home, such as a basement apartment or tiny house in a backyard. ADUs are either attached or separate from the main home.

ADUs are becoming increasingly popular because of the variety of ways in which they can be optimized to save money and increase your income. If you’re in need of extra space for an office, an alternative to a retirement home for aging parents, or rental property as a source of passive income, an ADU may be an investment you should consider. See if an ADU is a good investment for you.

The ADU  Process

While some ADU manufacturers will take care of the entire process for you (turnkey), some manufacturers assume the customer will handle all aspects of the permitting and construction process.

Find out if your property is eligible
