ADU Designs

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) come in many ADU designs, most commonly called: Granny Flats, Garage Conversion, Basement Conversion and Multi-Family Conversion and Additions. In the real estate industry, we also distinguish them by Attached ADUs and Detached ADUs.

We help remove the doubt in completing the process for all of these ADU designs, making your ADU a reality.

Granny Flats

These ADUs are for housing family members, increasing property value or generating additional rental income. Typically, granny flats are backyard cottages or additions to a home. These ADU designs may be considered detached or attached ADUs.

ADU for Garage Conversions

Garage Conversions

As one of the most popular types of ADUs, Garage conversions can be cost effective because you can begin with an existing structure. There are advantages, disadvantages and challenges with all garage conversions.

Basement Conversions

Basement conversions can be cost effective because there is no need to expand the building envelope. Additionally, they are often best for JADUs. Challenges are most often related to ceiling height, entrances, windows and moisture.
