ADUs That Are Built to Last

Our company is driven by a mission to create long-lasting, environmentally conscious housing. We also realize that flat, buildable land is getting harder to find, while the need for housing continues to grow. We decided to become an ADU builder as a solution to both of those issues. ADUs are a sustainable living option because they are smaller than traditional single-family homes and they share the land and utilities devoted to the primary home. This means they require fewer resources to build and maintain.

Our specialty is using upcycled shipping containers to build durable ADUs. Building small homes, installing energy-efficient appliances, and utilizing super-efficient insulation and mini split systems are just a few of the methods we use to make our homes eco-friendly.

"I had an amazing experience with Relevant Building in Oregon City, Oregon. After getting scammed by a previous builder, I was extremely stressed and unsure how to move forward, but they completely turned things around for me. One of the biggest advantages is that they have their own in-house engineering team, which made the entire process so much smoother and more efficient. They took my existing plans and not only followed them, but improved them with thoughtful upgrades I hadnt even considered. I mainly worked with Joe and Kalli, and they were both incredible. Super responsive, communicative, and genuinely cared about getting everything right. Joe suggested things like self-closing doors and auto shut-off lights and fans, which make a huge difference. Kalli helped a ton with permits and I felt like she went out of her way to root for me. I also had specific security upgrades I wanted, and they handled everything without hesitation. Joe wanted to make sure I was 10000 satisfied and he nailed it. I was able to pick out small details, including the epoxy flooring, and color of the bathroom vanity and exterior. They made sure one of our restrooms was ADA compliant with all government regulations. They went above and beyond to make sure I would have no future issues! Anytime I needed something, I could count on hearing back within a day. After delivery, I only had a couple minor issues, and Joe came out right away to fix them. Everything is state-approved and fully inspected, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Pricing is very reasonable for the level of quality and care you get. Only downside? They wouldnt put up my cat wallpaper for me actually who knows- I didnt ask haha Highly recommend them to anyone in Oregon looking for a shipping container build!"
