Building an ADU with Mokkō Woodcraft
An Accessory Dwelling Unit can add practical value to a property in Central Oregon, whether the goal is multi-generational living, rental income, or long-term equity. Mokkō Woodcraft, based in Bend, OR, works as an ADU contractor handling custom builds, garage conversions, and new standalone units. Bend's pre-approved ADU plans and local programs have made the permitting and building process more accessible for homeowners in the area, and Mokkō Woodcraft incorporates these options into their planning when applicable.
As a detached ADU builder and garage conversion contractor, the team brings a thoughtful, functional approach to each design. The goal is to meet the specific needs of a household, whether that's a backyard cottage, an in-law suite, or a more compact granny flat.
Planning, Design, and Site Work
Every project starts with an assessment of the property, looking at available space, design possibilities, and zoning requirements. Where it fits, Mokkō Woodcraft presents Bend's pre-approved ADU plans, which can simplify the permitting timeline. For custom builds, they partner with a licensed home-building designer to produce fully engineered plans. Throughout the permitting process, the team provides guidance so homeowners aren't navigating it alone.
Once plans are in place, site work begins. This includes excavation and foundation preparation, carried out in coordination with other licensed professionals from local Central Oregon businesses. This groundwork sets the stage for the construction phase that follows.
Construction and Interior Finishing
Mokkō Woodcraft operates as a turnkey construction business, staying involved from the initial planning stages through to completion. Most of the build is managed by their in-house crew, with trusted subcontractors brought in for specialized work such as electrical, plumbing, HVAC, painting, and roofing. This structure is intended to keep the process consistent and maintain quality across each stage of the build.
Homeowners work directly with a small, dedicated crew throughout the project rather than being passed between larger teams. This approach allows for closer attention to detail, particularly during the interior finishing phase, where craftsmanship and design choices come together to reflect the character of the space.
Beyond ADU construction, Mokkō Woodcraft also takes on remodeling projects and deck builds, extending their woodcraft and construction expertise to other areas of a home.
For those considering an ADU, JADU, or garage conversion in the Bend area, a consultation with the Mokkō Woodcraft team is a starting point for discussing site evaluation, design options, and the permitting process specific to Central Oregon.
