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
A contractor oversees the physical build, managing the subcontractors, materials, and daily construction progress. They are responsible for making sure the structure is built according to the approved plans and local safety standards. You need a contractor when you have your designs finalized and are ready for the actual building phase to begin. They act as the primary point of contact for all site activity.
