ADU Development Masterclass
Beyond their direct services, ADU Geeks also offers an ADU Development Masterclass — an online, self-paced course designed to educate homeowners, investors, and developers on every aspect of building a successful accessory dwelling unit in California.
The course is taught by a team of industry professionals, including experts in feasibility, construction, finance, and property management. It covers the full development journey, from due diligence and design through to financing, construction, and asset management.
Key features of the masterclass include:
- Approximately 40 educational videos with comprehension quizzes at the end of each module
- A Certificate of Completion upon finishing 100% of the course
- Downloadable resources and tools applicable directly to real ADU projects
- Step-by-step guidance through feasibility, design, financing, construction, and management
- Online access available anytime, at the learner's own pace
Most learners complete the course in 4–6 hours, depending on their pace. While examples are primarily focused on California and the San Diego area, the core process and principles apply broadly to ADU development in other regions as well.
The masterclass is available for a one-time payment of $150, and a 7-day refund policy is offered for those who are unsatisfied. For those not yet ready to commit, the first three videos are available to watch for free.
ADU Geeks combines professional planning services with educational resources, making them a well-rounded partner for anyone looking to explore the possibilities of adding an accessory dwelling unit to their property.
