Los Angeles and the broader California market have seen explosive growth in ADU construction. According to the California Department of Housing, ADU permits issued statewide grew from just over 1,000 in 2016 to over 15,000 in 2020 — a staggering increase of 1,400%. In Los Angeles alone, there was a 1,000% increase in ADU construction since 2016, with over 8,000 permits issued in 2020. Detached ADUs accounted for 65% of all ADU permits issued in California in 2020, while ADUs now represent 18% of all new housing built in the state.

"Direct ADU builders really did an awesome job! They completed my new construction unit from scratch in 65 days, and right on the budget even with extensive prep work that was needed. The crew was friendly, professional, and worked seamlessly together. The finished resulta was even better than expected, and I will definitely use them again for our next project that is already being designed, we are not even trying to interview more contractors as set on this team with no doubt.

"We had absolutely great experience with our project. We planned on 700 sq"th and my wife insisted to have 3 bedrooms which was a bit crowded. Direct builders has great teams who gave different design ideas. Eventually we increased the size to 950 sq"ft and they helps us greatly with the reasonable cost. Everything ran very smoothly and in 3 months we had a complete small home on our wasted yard area. Thank you 100 times!!!"

Their team work and attention to details were very impressive - I hired Direct for one of my rental property and already planing the next project with them on another property.

"This company deserve every good word!! We were a little worried facing our ADU constuction project but Direct's manager explained us the work plan and followed it step by step. We always wanted free standing tub and the result of our bathroom is stunning, more than ever expected - I'm proud to share a Pic of it here!! The construction went smoothly passing each inspection on the spot. We are very relieved construction is over and final inspection was approved - beautiful finishes and without any issues. 5 stars 100 !!!"
