Accessory Dwelling Units Built for Modern Living
Urban ADU designs and builds accessory dwelling units that are engineered with functionality and sustainability in mind. Each unit is constructed using quality materials and incorporates intelligent systems aimed at combining everyday comfort with long-term resilience. Their approach as an ADU builder reflects a focus on practical, efficient construction rather than simply aesthetics.
Every Urban ADU is built with a consistent set of materials and construction standards, including:
- Energy efficient framing techniques for precise, straight construction
- Spray foam insulation in walls, roof, and floors
- Andersen 100 Series composite windows and doors for durability and comfort
- Modern roof lines, Decora finishes, LVT flooring, and Sherwin Williams paints
- Optional solar and battery off-grid packages
- Zero Energy Ready Home certification and documentation for potential tax credits
The optional solar and battery packages make Urban ADU a notable option for those interested in off-grid or energy-independent living. The Zero Energy Ready Home certification also provides homeowners with documentation that may qualify them for valuable tax credits.
Streamlined Process from Concept to Completion
Urban ADU positions itself as more than just a detached ADU builder or garage conversion contractor. They aim to simplify the entire process of planning and building an accessory dwelling unit. Using current technology, they allow clients to select a model, visualize it on their specific property through 3D rendering, and download site plans tailored to local zoning requirements.
This approach is intended to reduce the complexity that often comes with ADU projects, particularly around permitting and site planning. Whether a homeowner is looking to build a granny flat, an in-law suite, a backyard cottage, or a dedicated home office, Urban ADU provides tools and support to help move the project forward.
Their service covers the process from permits through to placement, guiding clients through each stage of the build. This makes them a relevant option for homeowners in the Colorado Springs area who are considering adding an accessory dwelling unit to their property.
