What is an ADU?
ADU is short for “accessory dwelling unit”, which is a secondary structure on the same lot as a primary residence used as a secondary home, apartment or office. ADU’s are becoming a very popular option for property owners seeking additional space for their single family home. ADUs are an affordable housing option and can be customized to include just about anything a custom home can offer.
A typical ADU will include living spaces as well as a bathroom and kitchen area. Many ADU’s are being built into our custom garage designs with garage space on the first floor and custom living space on the second floor.
Prefab ADUs are an affordable option for those seeking a custom space that does not entail months of construction. Our ADUs are built offsite and usually completed on your property in a matter of days!
