About LiveLarge

Full-Service Prefab ADU Builder in California

LiveLarge Home is a full-service accessory dwelling unit builder offering a white-glove prefab ADU solution currently available in California. As a comprehensive ADU contractor, they handle everything from permits and installation through to final inspections — making the process as seamless as possible for homeowners looking to expand their living space without moving or purchasing a new property.

One of the standout advantages of working with this backyard cottage builder is speed. Their streamlined on-site build process can have a backyard home ready in as little as 4–6 weeks, compared to the industry average of 7–9 months for a traditional ADU build. Their fixed pricing starts at $412 per sq. ft., significantly below the market average of $500–$550 per sq. ft., making them a cost-competitive choice for homeowners.

Their ADUs are also designed with sustainability in mind. Each unit is built with a light steel frame structure, triple-pane windows delivering up to 40% more natural light than most market alternatives, optional solar panel arrays, smart home controls, fire-resistant materials, and energy-efficient systems — all working together to reduce reliance on the grid while maximizing comfort.

A Range of Prefab ADU Models to Suit Every Need

As a dedicated detached ADU builder, LiveLarge offers a broad lineup of California pre-approved ADU models, ranging from compact studio units to spacious two-bedroom homes with office space. Each model is designed with open-concept floor plans, high ceilings, wall-to-wall sliding glass doors, and premium interior finishes.

Their model range includes the following options:

  1. L-350 (Studio, 350 sq. ft.) — Starting at $140,000 plus installation. Features 3 triple-pane windows and 22% max daylight.
  2. L-500 (1 Bed / 1 Bath, 500 sq. ft.) — Starting at $170,000 plus installation. Includes expanded kitchen cabinetry, pantry, and laundry closets.

"Hi, my name is Adriana and I worked with Mick to figure out if one of his ADUs would fit in the space I had in my backyard. He was just fantastic from the beginning all the way until we decided that his smallest unit was too big for our space, and I was so bummed that we couldnt have it. Mick went to huge trouble to make everything easy. He accommodated every aspect of what I wanted, and he just felt like we could be great friends. I highly recommend him if you have any questions or want to buy anything from him. He is trustworthy and a gentleman."

"To Mick Wang and the Team at LiveLarge Homes, As a rather seasoned Project Manager managing more than 30 prefab projects over the years, I am writing to share my sincere appreciation and compliments for the outstanding work LiveLarge and your Team have provided for the recent design, fabrication, and installation of four, small prefab ADUs for my client in Altadena, CA. From the very beginning, the design process was handled with creativity and professionalism. Your Team took the time to understand client needs and preferences, resulting in floor plans and details that were not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. The attention-to-detail for the interior and exterior design details and finishes truly exceeded our expectations. The fabrication phase was equally impressive. We were kept well-informed throughout the process, and it was clear that quality and precision were top priorities. The materials used are of excellent quality, and the workmanship is second to none. It is evident that your Team and the entire LiveLarge organization take great pride in what they do. Installation was smooth and remarkably efficient. The Team was courteous, respectful of our neighborhood and neighbors, and maintained a clean and organized worksite. The four homes came together seamlessly, and were delivered on time - a testament to your careful planning and execution. Even the solar and utility hookups came together flawlessly. Lastly, I commend Livelarge Homes on the cost-effectiveness of your prefab homes and services. The value received far outweighs the investment, and my client is extremely pleased with how his budget was respected without any compromise on quality or design - not to mention holding to the original cost estimate throughout the entire project. I still cannot believe it. Thank you for making this project a huge success - for my client, for me, and for the Altadena community. The four small prefab ADUs are everything my client hoped for and more - truly a one-stop shop experience from start to finish. The neighbors are calling the project a modern-day bungalow court! Moving forward, I gladly recommend LiveLarge Homes to anyone considering a prefab solution. Looking forward to working together on the next project."

"From start to finish, LiveLarge has been by my side to see the project's completion. I purchased their base 795 model with upgrades in appliances and washer dryer and the results have been phenomenal. Every family and friend have been impressed and I have gotten comps of being able to rent this out for over 4000 a month. Mick provided amazing customer service dedicating hours to making sure we had the perfect layout on our lot. He was on my side the entire time. If there was any delay, he proactively got the ball rolling. His personal touch and frequent check ups always made me feel like I was always top of mind. Gabriel and Phil diligently made sure the project was on time and on or under budget, clearly communicating next steps and accommodating any requests I had. While there were a few hiccups with permitting, we had a clean and smooth process, thanks to the expertise at LiveLarge and their knowledge of Bay Area permitting processes. It's rare that the finished product looks just as good as the renderings, but LiveLarge has done it. The 795 ADU is thoughtfully designed and while small, includes a ton of storage with wall to ceiling cabinets. The ceilings? 9 feet tall. The bedrooms are standard and bathrooms are deliberately designed to maximize convenience and usage of the space. My only issue is I wish I added a closet in the guest bedroom, but nothing like a nice looking dresser can't fix. The on site team that LiveLarge partners with was courteous and well aware of sound laws in my area. Their expertise was second to none and I only realized that when I had other contractors on my property working on various other landscaping projects. The sound proofing and energy efficiency quality of the unit is so good that it met energy efficacy requirements for not needing to install new solar panels for a new build. My unit resides next to an expressway. Once the doors are closed, you can't hear the outsidd noise at all. The prefab model is as good if not exceeds any onsite build I have ever seen. If anything, I recommend just touring their units and seeing for yourself."

"Working with Mick at LiveLarge Home has been an absolutely outstanding experience. From our very first conversation, Mick impressed us with his professionalism, deep expertise, and thoughtful approach. He took the time to understand our goals, offered multiple design proposals, walked us through detailed quotes, and even coordinated property inspectionsalways with patience, clarity, and genuine care. Mick is one of those rare people who combines technical know-how with a true sense of partnership. He listened closely, communicated clearly, and never made us feel rushed or pressured. Instead, we always felt supported, heard, and respected. His kindness and collaborative spirit made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. Although we've decided to pause our ADU project for now, there's no doubt that when we're ready to move forward, well be reaching back out to Mick and the LiveLarge team. Anyone considering an ADU would be lucky to work with him. We cant recommend Mick and the whole team highly enough!"

"We had a great experience building our ADU with LiveLarge. I have a demanding job and didnt want the hassle of permits or managing contractorsLiveLarge handled it all. The unit arrived mostly pre-built, was installed quickly, and looked exactly like the showroom model. We rented it out right after the final inspection at a strong market rate. A couple of small fixes took a bit longer than expected, but the team stayed communicative throughout. Overall, a smooth process and totally worth it."
