Goshen Tiny Homes – A Leading ADU Builder in Florida
Goshen Tiny Homes has established itself as one of Florida's most recognized ADU contractors, helping homeowners add space, generate rental income, or keep family close. As a licensed accessory dwelling unit builder, they specialize exclusively in custom, detached ADUs and home additions — every one of them block-built on-site to Florida Building Code standards. No prefabricated kits, no shortcuts.
With 40 years of combined construction experience and 30 ADU projects currently underway, Goshen Tiny Homes is a trusted, ADU-only builder operating across Florida. Their process covers everything from start to finish: feasibility studies, zoning compliance, permitting, utility coordination, construction, and final handover. Whether the goal is a private guesthouse, an in-law suite, or an investment rental unit, they deliver a fully move-in-ready property asset built to last.
Every ADU they build comes fully equipped with kitchens, bathrooms, and appliances — a true turnkey solution for Florida homeowners.
ADU Pricing, Timelines, and What's Included
The average time to complete an ADU project with Goshen Tiny Homes is approximately 10–12 months from start to finish. Their process is broken down into clear phases:
- Design & architecture: approximately 2 months
- Permitting & approvals: 2–6 months, depending on jurisdiction
- Construction: 3–5 months, depending on size and finishes
Because they focus solely on ADU construction, their project timelines are more predictable than general contractors. Clients can plan financing, rental income, and family arrangements with greater confidence.
When it comes to cost, Goshen Tiny Homes provides transparent, all-inclusive pricing. Their detached ADU builder pricing typically falls within these ranges:
- Studio ADU: $75,000 – $110,000
- One-Bedroom ADU: $110,000 – $155,000
- Two-Bedroom ADU: $155,000 – $200,000
These figures reflect real costs — not stripped-down base prices. Their pricing includes design and engineering plans, architecture and permits, full construction (concrete foundation, block walls, roofing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC), complete interior finishes, all appliances, utility hookups, final inspections, certificate of occupancy, a 1-year workmanship warranty, and a 10-year structural warranty.
Permit fees and utility hookups are also included in their transparent quotes. Homeowners can typically expect:
- ADU permit fees: $3,000 – $6,000
- Utility hookup costs (water, sewer, electric): $6,000 – $9,000
- Septic system costs (if required): $7,000 – $10,000
Unlike some builders who advertise low base prices and add surprise charges later, Goshen shows all costs upfront before construction begins.
Permitting, Zoning, Financing, and Site Placement
As a full-service ADU contractor, Goshen Tiny Homes manages the entire permitting and zoning process in Florida. They conduct zoning research before design begins, prepare and submit all required drawings and applications, coordinate with city and county departments, and handle any revisions requested by local authorities. They serve homeowners across Tampa Bay, St. Petersburg, Miami, Orlando, West Palm Beach, and Fort Lauderdale.
For homeowners exploring financing, Goshen supports clients through common ADU financing options including home equity loans or HELOCs, construction loans, and cash-out refinancing. Typical monthly payments range between $900 – $1,500, and in many cases rental income from the ADU can offset most or all of that amount.
In terms of placement, an ADU can be built in the backyard, side yard, as an attached addition, or above a garage — depending on local setback rules and zoning regulations. Goshen handles all of this research upfront so homeowners know their exact options before design begins.
Every ADU they build is 100% site-built using traditional construction methods on a slab foundation. Site-built ADUs qualify as real property, appraise like a home, and add long-term equity — unlike prefabricated units, which often face zoning restrictions and fail to count as real estate in many Florida counties.
For properties with existing septic systems, Goshen guides homeowners through Health Department approval requirements, whether that means connecting to an existing system, upgrading it, or installing a new one. They ensure all septic considerations are addressed before permits are issued, keeping the project on schedule and fully compliant.
