What is involved in building an ADU?


Building an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) can be a great way to add extra living space to your home. However, there are a few things you'll need to take into account before you start the building process. First, you'll need to determine whether or not you have the necessary permits to build an ADU on your property. Next, you'll need to find a qualified builder or general contractor who can help you construct the unit. Finally, you'll need to decide on the type of ADU you want to build. There are many different types of ADUs, from pool houses and in-law units to guest cottages and studio apartments. Once you've taken all of these factors into consideration, you'll be well on your way to building the perfect accessory dwelling unit for your needs.



What should I consider when adding on to an ADU?


An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is a small residential unit that is accessory to a single-family home. accessory dwelling units are often used as guest houses, in-law apartments, or rental units. In most cases, accessory dwelling units are located on the same property as the primary residence. However, they can also be built on another piece of property, such as a vacant lot or a parking garage. accessory dwelling units must meet all of the same building code requirements as the primary residence.


What are some of the steps involved in building an ADU?


They must also have their own separate entrance and be permanently affixed to the property. In some cases, accessory dwelling units can be built above a garage or behind a main house. However, they cannot be larger than 1,200 square feet (111 square meters). In order to build an accessory dwelling unit, you will need to obtain a permit from your local planning department. You may also need to hire a general contractor and obtain a Certificate of Occupancy from your local building department. If you plan to include a kitchen or bathroom in your accessory dwelling unit, you will also need to install a separate septic system or hook up to the public sewer system. In some cases, you may be able to build an accessory dwelling unit without a permit.
