What affects the price
Building an ADU involves several moving parts that shape your total investment. The final figure depends heavily on whether you choose a prefab unit or a custom build from the ground up. Site conditions are another major factor; if your property requires extensive grading, utility trenching, or foundation work, costs will climb. You also have to consider your choice of finishes, like high-end appliances or custom cabinetry. Navigating local permit fees and impact assessments also adds to the total.
About this service
Turning an ADU into a rental means creating a separate, functional living space on your property to generate monthly income. This is a practical choice if you want to offset your mortgage or capitalize on high housing demand in your area. You will need to account for local zoning rules and utility metering.
