Understanding ADUs and What to Expect

An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is a secondary dwelling structure located on the same residential lot as the primary residence. There are two main types: attached ADUs, which involve the reconstruction of existing interior space, and detached ADUs, which are separate standalone structures built on the property.

ADU construction involves several important stages, including learning local building regulations, completing project design, calculating costs, sourcing materials, and carrying out the actual construction or reconstruction work. For most homeowners, partnering with a professional ADU builder is the most efficient and reliable path forward.

When it comes to cost, ADU construction pricing is influenced by many factors:

  1. Whether the ADU is attached or detached
  2. The size of the residential lot and the planned ADU square footage
  3. Whether the structure will be single-story or multi-story
  4. Local permitting requirements and design guidelines

Generally, ADU construction costs can range from approximately $30,000 to over $300,000, depending on the scope and complexity of the project. As for timelines, obtaining building permits typically takes around two weeks, while construction itself can take anywhere from four to six months depending on the specific project.

ADU Builders California offers turnkey custom ADU solutions across a range of sizes, from 250 sq. ft. up to 750 sq. ft. and beyond, giving homeowners flexible options to suit their space and budget. Their team of architects, builders, and project managers works collaboratively to bring each client's vision to life — handling everything from planning and design to customization and final delivery.

ADU Builders California Reviews

Jon Sera

"My Dad used to live in his home in Placerville by himself, but he eventually decided he wanted to be with the family more. So we tried to relocate him to our home in Folsom, but that wasnt working out so well for anyone and he was still needing some of his own space and a little bit of routine. So we decided to build an ADU in our backyard. We hired ADU Builders California and had a great experience! Our project manager was Anya and we told her what we thought our dad would need in an accessory dwelling unit for himself. She seemed to get it and we asked her to create a simple house that he could live comfortably in without too many challenges. So we have a one-story single room house with a walk-in shower with a built in bench and grab bars and a small kitchenette with safety features such as automatic shut off on the appliances. This project was finished after about six months. It was quite a bit of work, but we did it. And when it was all finished, the house was beautiful. It was not inexpensive, but having Dad living 50 feet away and having his own space has been a total blessing for our family. We are so grateful to Anya and her team for designing a home that truly has met all of our needs."

"As a pilates professional, I require a specific set of studio needs and I didn't want my main house to be the workplace so thought of idea to build ADU. Most builders viewed these studio requirements as a nuisance, whereas Maria, a designer at ADU Builders located in California, viewed these studio needs as a fun challenge. Maria designed a studio which took into account every single one of my studio requirements. It is divided into two main spaces. The first one is a room with reformers and other equipment which positioned above the studio, which has large windows allowing for great natural light. On the other side is the substantial studio which features all the studio amenities designed for my needs. I now work in a beautiful and custom-built environment, and as a result, my productivity and happiness have increased immensely. They built me a studio designed specifically for my craft, and I can now work my passions without limitations."

"I live near mountains with a beautiful view and needed a legal rental unit on my property for extra income. ADU Builders California clearly explained the costs and timelines. I appreciated their honesty about things I shouldnt skimp on, like waterproofing and windows. The inspections went well, and I received weekly updates with photos. Within a month of finishing, I had a tenant move in. The rental income has already made a big difference for me."

"We considered moving to a bigger house, but prices are crazy. Instead, we added an ADU in the backyard for extra space. The company explained everything clearly, from budget to inspections. I appreciated that they didnt pressure us into upgrades we didnt need. We chose mid-range finishes, and the place still looks modern. Our teenage son already moved his desk in and calls it his apartment, though we plan to use it for family visits."

"My husband and I had been researching getting into real estate investing for quite some time, but the state of housing prices in California made it seem completely out of reach to buy a second home. We even considered tapping into equity in our current home to use as a down payment, but upon crunching the numbers, it simply wasn't working out especially if we were borrowing 100 on the new home. That's when we started exploring the option of building an ADU as an alternative. After conducting much research, we found ADU Builders California and were pleased to see that they offered a no-money-down solution. That was precisely what we needed. From the very first day, the process was totally seamless. Their team arrived on time, were professional, and went above and beyond to minimize the disruption. Each day, they cleaned up after themselves, so we could still enjoy our backyard without it feeling like a full-scale construction zone. They even helped us install a fence to give us and the ADU a bit of extra privacy, a little touch that was the biggest difference.; All in all, it was a really positive experience. If youre thinking about building an ADU and want a reliable, professional team that works fast and takes care of the details, Id definitely recommend giving ADU Builders California a call."
