ADU Construction Services by Tims New Construction in Los Angeles

Tims New Construction is a Los Angeles-based contractor specializing in the construction of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior ADUs (JADUs). They work with homeowners looking to add living space to their properties, whether for rental income, family use, or general property expansion. Their services cover the full construction process, from initial design and permitting through to final build completion.

An Accessory Dwelling Unit is a self-contained living space situated on the same lot as an existing single-family home. These units can take several forms, including detached structures, attached additions, or garage conversions. Given the ongoing housing demand in Los Angeles, ADUs have become a practical option for homeowners looking to make better use of their property.

Some of the common reasons homeowners pursue ADU construction include:

1. Increased property value – An ADU can make a property more attractive to potential buyers.
2. Rental income – A separate unit can be rented out to tenants or used for short-term rentals.
3. Flexible use – The space can serve as a home office, guest room, in-law suite, or additional family housing.

Tims New Construction handles all aspects of the ADU build, ensuring compliance with local zoning laws and building codes throughout the process.

Junior ADUs and JADU Construction

In addition to full-sized ADUs, Tims New Construction also builds Junior ADUs (JADUs). A Junior ADU is a smaller, typically attached unit that offers a separate living space within or directly connected to the main home. These units are generally less expensive to build than a full-sized ADU and can be completed in a shorter timeframe.

Key characteristics of Junior ADU construction include:

1. Lower construction costs – Fewer materials and less labor are typically required.
2. Faster build time – The smaller scale means projects can be completed more quickly.
3. Rental potential – JADUs can be rented out to generate additional income.
4. Family housing – They provide a practical option for housing elderly relatives or adult children on the same property.

Their team assists clients through every stage of the Junior ADU process, including design, permitting, and construction.

Tims New Construction provides support in navigating these regulations to help clients make use of the opportunities SB9 presents.
