About Auburndale Builders

ADU Construction in Newton by Auburndale Builders

Auburndale Builders has completed an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) project in Newton, working within local regulations that permit the construction of a second residence on residential property, provided it is occupied by a family member.

The resulting structure is an 800 square foot self-contained home designed to function as a fully independent living space. The unit includes a full kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living area — all thoughtfully arranged on a single, universally accessible level. This layout makes the space practical for a range of occupants, including elderly family members or those with mobility considerations.

What the Project Includes

  1. Full kitchen
  2. Full bathroom
  3. Bedroom
  4. Living area
  5. Single-level, universally accessible design
  6. 800 square feet of living space

The project was developed in collaboration with Synnott Architects, who handled the architectural design. Auburndale Builders served as the ADU contractor responsible for bringing the design to completion on site.

ADU Building in Compliance with Local Regulations

Newton has specific zoning rules governing accessory dwelling unit construction, and this project reflects Auburndale Builders' ability to work within those parameters. For homeowners considering adding an in-law suite, granny flat, or similar secondary unit to their property, understanding and navigating local regulations is a key part of the process — and one that requires an experienced ADU builder.

This type of compact, single-level dwelling is a practical solution for families looking to house relatives nearby while maintaining separate living arrangements. Auburndale Builders has demonstrated the ability to deliver this kind of project from the ground up, working alongside architects to produce a functional and code-compliant result.

"Auburndale Builders has completed two major renovations of our home in the past five years, and both experiences were excellent. The renovated spaces look and function beautifullyexactly as we envisioned. Our project manager was extremely dependable: communicated updates timely, managed every detail seamlessly, and worked with urgency to stay on schedule. Everyone on Auburndales extended teamincluding their subcontractorsis responsible and easy to work with. They are a rare combination of skilled professionals and kind people that care about their work and, most importantly, their clients satisfaction. We recommend them to anyone in our community who asks us for a referral."

"We have completed two major remodeling projects with Auburndale Builders and had a wonderful experience both times. The first was complete remodeling of our basement, the second was remodeling of multiple rooms including all bathrooms in a 150 year old house, They are extremely well-organized and professional according to our designer, one of the best contractors she has ever worked with. Expectations are clear from the beginning of the preconstruction process and their level of communication is excellent. Their budget process is very transparent and they make a strong effort to stick to their estimates and give options for cutting costs when needed. They are experts in modern "green" building and we have received a ton of advice from them on how we can best modernize our old house while preserving its character. Their own staff project managers and carpenters are very experienced and very good at their jobs. They are extremely detail-oriented and their work is always high quality. They also use very dependable, high quality subcontractors and they work closely with them to ensure that their work meets expectations. We have been ecstatic about the work they've done in our home and would recommend them without reservation. Aside from the work, we can put in a good word for the integrity and humanity of the people who work for Auburndale. From the ownership to the office staff, they are genuinely kind and caring people and we have really enjoyed working with them and getting to know them. They have always gone the extra mile to make sure we are happy and comfortable with how the project is going. Whenever we have had an issue they have bent over backwards to correct it. We love working with them and we look forward to more projects with them in the future!"

"We bought a house that required major updating and Auburndale was so lovely to work with. They took care of us from start to finish, are very transparent, and very environmentally conscious. Also everyone is really nice!! It was a great experience working with them. Our house went from dark and drafty to filled with light and climate friendly. We love our house!!"

"I am an architect and ABSOLUTELY love working with Auburndale. Their whole team is responsive, knowledgeable, EASY to work with, provide a great value, and great customer service. I especially appreciate their commitment to sustainable building practices, and really value the opportunity to learn from their expertise! We are presently collaborating on a ground-up home and the entire process has been a pleasure from our perspective. Recommend Auburndale without hesitation!"

"Auburndale Builders completed an addition to our home that involved expanding our first floor to include a bedroom and full bathroom and adding a room to the second floor. We had an incredibly positive experience with them throughout the process, and in particular appreciated how sensitive they were to ensuring that the construction interfered as minimally as possible with the spaces we were living in throughout the addition. Nick and his team moved the project along in a timely manner, and our Project Manager, Jimmy, was outstanding. We highly recommend Auburndale Builders!"
