ADU Construction for Multi-Family and Mixed-Use Properties
Newform Builders works with homeowners and property owners navigating the rules around accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on multi-family and mixed-use zoned properties. For these property types, local regulations typically permit a maximum of two new construction ADUs, whether attached or detached. Additionally, property owners may convert non-livable space within an existing multi-family building into ADUs, up to the equivalent of 25% of the existing dwelling units, subject to a 4-foot front and rear setback and a 16-foot maximum height limit.
An ADU can serve as separate, private living quarters and may also contribute to the assessed resale value of the overall property. Newform Builders approaches each project with this in mind, making sure all work adheres to applicable building codes and regulations. Each project is considered complete only once the final inspection has been satisfactorily passed.
