UDA ADU is a contractor specializing in the design and construction of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in California. As a dedicated ADU builder, the company focuses exclusively on this type of residential construction, working with homeowners who want to add living space to their existing property.
ADU Construction Services
As an experienced ADU contractor, UDA ADU handles projects from the initial planning stages through to completed construction. Their work includes a range of ADU types suited to different property layouts and homeowner needs. Whether a client is looking for a detached ADU builder, a garage conversion contractor, or help building an in-law suite, UDA ADU works to deliver functional living spaces that meet local building codes and regulations.
The types of ADUs they work on include:
- Detached ADUs — standalone structures built in the backyard or elsewhere on the property
- Attached ADUs — units connected to the main residence
- Garage conversions — converting an existing garage into a livable space
- Junior ADUs (JADUs) — smaller units created within the existing footprint of a home
These options cover a broad range of what homeowners typically look for, from a backyard cottage builder to a JADU contractor or granny flat builder. Each project type comes with its own set of permitting requirements and design considerations, which UDA ADU navigates on behalf of their clients.
Design and Planning Process
UDA ADU takes a structured approach to each project. Before construction begins, the team works through site evaluation, design development, and the permitting process. This preparation phase is an important part of ADU construction, as California municipalities have specific requirements that must be met before a build can proceed.
The company aims to simplify this process for homeowners, handling the coordination with local planning and building departments. This can be a time-consuming aspect of ADU development, and having a contractor manage it directly can reduce delays and complications for the property owner.
For those considering a Casita or a smaller secondary unit on their property, UDA ADU provides guidance on what is feasible given the lot size, zoning rules, and existing structures on site.
Who They Work With
UDA ADU primarily serves homeowners in California who are looking to add rental income, accommodate family members, or increase the overall value and utility of their property. As a focused accessory dwelling unit builder, the company's work is centered specifically on ADU projects rather than general residential construction.
Their approach is to manage the full scope of the project — from design through permitting and construction — providing a single point of contact for homeowners throughout the process.
