ADU Construction and Garage Conversions
Since California introduced legislation in 2020 making it easier to build accessory dwelling units, demand for ADU construction has grown considerably. Doza Build works as an ADU contractor helping homeowners take advantage of this opportunity, whether through a garage conversion or a newly built structure on their property.
For homeowners with an underused garage, a garage conversion to ADU can be a practical way to create an independent living space or generate rental income. Doza Build handles the construction side of these conversions and can also connect clients with experienced design and engineering partners who specialize in ADU planning and permitting submissions.
For those without a garage, Doza Build also constructs detached ADUs and attached ADUs from the ground up. This includes connecting plumbing to the main line and managing all aspects of the build. Their goal is to make the process straightforward for the homeowner, handling the construction complexity so clients don't have to.
An accessory dwelling unit is a self-contained secondary housing unit on a single-family residential lot. It includes its own kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area. Homeowners typically build ADUs to generate rental income, house family members such as aging parents or adult children, or add long-term value to their property. Recent state-level legislation in California has made most single-family properties eligible to build at least one ADU, though local zoning rules, setbacks, and utility availability still vary by municipality.
The ADU Building Process
Doza Build's approach to ADU projects generally follows a structured process:
- Initial consultation and site assessment — evaluating the property, discussing the homeowner's goals, and reviewing local zoning requirements.
- Design and planning — working with architectural partners to develop plans that meet both the client's needs and local building codes.
- Permit acquisition — preparing and submitting the necessary documentation to local planning and building departments. If Doza Build's partner architect is involved, they manage this process directly.
- Construction — managing all aspects of the physical build, from foundation to finishes.
- Final inspection and handover — ensuring the completed unit meets code requirements before delivery.
The overall timeline for an ADU project can range from roughly 8 to 18 months depending on the scope. Design and planning typically takes 1 to 2 months, permitting can take anywhere from 3 to 8 months depending on the local jurisdiction, and construction itself generally runs 3 to 6 months. Costs vary based on size, design complexity, materials, site-specific factors, and permitting fees. Doza Build provides itemized estimates following an initial consultation and feasibility review.
