ADU Construction Services by Raudes Construction
Raudes Construction specializes in the design and construction of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) — secondary residential units built on single-family properties. These units can take several forms, including detached structures, attached additions, or conversions of existing spaces such as garages. Whether a homeowner is looking for a granny flat builder, a garage conversion contractor, or a detached ADU builder, Raudes Construction handles projects across these categories.
ADUs require permits and must comply with local zoning and building regulations. Raudes Construction manages the permitting process on behalf of their clients, helping to keep the project on track and in compliance with applicable rules. They also guide homeowners through local size restrictions, which are typically determined by zoning laws and the overall size of the property.
What to Expect During the Build
Construction timelines for ADUs generally range from 3 to 6 months from start to finish, though this can vary depending on the design complexity and scope of work involved. Raudes Construction builds ADUs as fully functional living spaces, complete with kitchens, bathrooms, and other essential amenities.
For homeowners interested in generating rental income, an ADU can serve as a long-term rental unit or, where local regulations permit, a short-term vacation rental. Raudes Construction can design the unit with rental standards in mind to help maximize the return on investment.
Understanding ADU Costs
The cost of building an ADU varies based on the scope of the project and its location. As a general reference:
- Garage conversions may start around $50,000
- Detached ADUs typically range from $100,000 to $300,000 or more for larger or higher-end units
Raudes Construction provides tailored estimates based on the homeowner's specific vision and budget, ensuring there is a clear understanding of costs before work begins.
