Los Angeles & Orange County's Premier ADU Design-Build Experts
ADU Homes operates as a full-service ADU contractor serving Los Angeles and Orange County, offering an all-inclusive design-build approach that takes care of everything from initial design and plan check submittal through permitting and construction. Their in-house team manages the entire process, providing clients with fixed pricing, on-time delivery, and no unexpected surprises along the way.
What sets them apart from other accessory dwelling unit builders is their seamless integration of design, permitting, and construction under one roof. There are no time-consuming meetings with separate architects and contractors, no cost overrun surprises, and no frustrating delays. Their completion date promise means clients know exactly how much their new ADU will cost and when it will be finished.
Their in-house design studio includes architectural designers, interior designers, and drafting specialists who collaborate closely with project and construction managers. This experienced team ensures that each ADU design is both well-crafted and cost-effective to build, while meeting all local codes — avoiding costly revisions and delays during the plan check process.
ADU Configurations to Fit Every Lot and Lifestyle
As a versatile detached ADU builder, ADU Homes offers a wide range of floor plan configurations to suit different property sizes and homeowner needs. All designs are customizable, and options include:
- Studio (300–500 sf): Open, flexible living spaces ideal for guest houses, private home offices, pool houses, or small standalone homes.
- One Bedroom (400–800 sf): A budget-friendly, efficient floor plan designed for lots with limited space while still providing a dedicated bedroom area.
- Two Bedroom (700–1,000 sf): Available in both single-story and two-story options, offering open living and kitchen areas with two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
- Three Bedroom (~1,200 sf): Their largest floor plans, available in one and two-story options, featuring an open-concept living space, a spacious master suite, and secondary bedrooms with large closets — ideal for maximizing rental income.
- Carriage Unit (400–1,000 sf): A smart solution for homeowners who want to keep their garage while adding living space above it. Available in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom configurations over two- or three-car garages, with internal or external staircase options.
For those whose needs go beyond a pre-designed plan, ADU Homes also offers fully custom ADU designs. Their in-house design team can modify an existing floor plan or start from scratch to create a personalized backyard cottage or in-law suite that meets specific goals. Additional custom options include ADU additions built onto existing structures.
Why Build an ADU?
Accessory dwelling units have grown significantly in popularity, and for good reason — they are remarkably versatile. A granny flat builder like ADU Homes understands that these structures serve many purposes depending on the homeowner's situation:
- Providing a comfortable, private home for an aging parent who needs to be closer to family.
- Offering a separate living space for a young adult returning home to save money.
- Functioning as a home office or guest suite.
- Generating rental income as an investment property.
Interested homeowners can request a free property evaluation, during which an ADU Homes expert will assess whether an ADU can be built on the property, estimate potential rental income, outline the approximate square footage allowed, and provide a cost range for one of their pre-designed ADU plans. It's a straightforward first step toward adding lasting value and flexibility to any property.
