Accessory Dwelling Units with Yeoman Design Build
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are secondary housing units located on the same lot as a primary residence. Also known as in-law apartments, backyard cottages, granny flats, or ADU houses, these versatile structures can serve a range of purposes — providing additional living space for family members, accommodating guests, or generating rental income opportunities.
Once permitted only in select towns and often subject to stringent zoning restrictions, ADUs are now available to all property owners in Massachusetts by right. This shift has opened up meaningful possibilities for homeowners looking to make better use of their property.
Yeoman Design Build as an ADU Contractor
Yeoman Design Build works as an ADU builder specializing in creating accessory dwelling units that are sustainably built and designed to fit the needs of both the family and the property. Their approach to these smaller structures aligns well with an eco-conscious building philosophy, making ADUs a natural extension of their broader work.
As an accessory dwelling unit builder, Yeoman Design Build applies a holistic design approach combined with thoughtful materials selection. Whether the project involves a detached ADU, a backyard cottage, or an in-law suite, the goal is to deliver results that are practical, well-crafted, and considerate of the surrounding environment.
The Building Process
Building an ADU with Yeoman Design Build involves a thorough process designed to ensure the project runs smoothly from conception to completion. Key aspects of their process include:
- Initial consultation to understand the property and the client's needs
