Common questions
How long does it take to build?
We're still gathering data points on how quickly we can build adus, but on average 6-9 months.
Can I use an ADU as a separate rental property?
Absolutely. This is one of the best and most encouraged uses of ADUs. One of ADU's goals is to build units quickly and inexpensively enough so that they can be rented at or below market rate, thus helping to curb spiking rental rates.
Can I use a home equity loan to build an ADU?
Yes! Provided you have enough equity to cover at least 80% of the total cost.
Does your ADU service include design/build or construction management services?
Because ADU is a design-build company we can offer services from concept to keys. Wherever you are in the process - whether it be in the design phase or whether your project is permitted and ready for construction - ADU can help you reach your goals with your ADU build.
