WE DESIGN & BUILD
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS
IN LOS ANGELES

An Accessory Dwelling Unit is a secondary living structure that occupies the same property as an existing single family residential property. ADUs have their own independent areas for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation.

In most cases, the answer is Yes. But, there are some restrictions that very between municipalities that will determine how big your ADU can be, etc.

Contact us today to discuss your property and project. We will investigate what type of ADU can be designed and built on your specific property and discuss your alternatives.

You do not need to occupy your new ADU and it can be built and used for investment purposes. You just can't sell the ADU individually from the main house.

Yes, we are happy to work with you to create your ADU plans. After the plans are finished you can use whoever you would like to actually build your ADU.

Yes! We love working with other talented ADU Architects and Designers. We build exactly what your Architect designed, and we do it on-time and on-budget.

Contact us and email us your complete ADU plans. We will then jump on a phone call to discuss your new project and projected budget, etc.

A Detached ADU is a great option for you if you have the room for one.

Detached ADUs provide the most privacy due to their separation from the main residence. Your new ADU will not share any walls with the main house and will be a welcome addition to your backyard.

The Return On Investment (ROI) for a detached ADU is off the charts.

Attached ADUs are great when your current home is on a small lot, and the set backs required by the zoning code make it hard to fit a detached unit on your property. You can create an awesome attached ADU by carving out a portion of your existing home, or really increase the value of your property by adding an attached ADU addition.

Attached ADUs allow homeowners the ability to add an ADU without sacrificing a large portion of their property.

Garage conversion ADUs are the least expensive to build and are the fastest to get approved. Garage conversion ADUs are also the quickest of any of the ADUs to build. If you want to add some quick cash flow to your property, or just need additional living space quickly, a Garage Conversion ADU might be your perfect solution.

No, covered parking is not required for the new ADU. In fact a tandem parking spot in an existing driveway is sufficient in most instances.

Yes, if your property meets any of the following criteria you can waive the parking requirement for your new ADU.

• The ADU is located within one-half mile of public transit, including transit stations and bus stations.
• The ADU is located within an architecturally and historically significant historic district.
• The ADU is part of the existing primary residence or an existing accessory structure.
• When on-street parking permits are required but not offered to the occupants of the ADU.
• When there is a car share vehicle located within one block of the ADU.

For attached ADUs the ADU may be up to fifty percent of the existing living area of the primary residence, with a maximum total floor area of 1,200 square feet. For detached ADUs the ADU may be up to 1,200 square feet.

Everything! Well, more accurately, everything you will need to be comfortable and healthy in your new Accessory Dwelling Unit.

But if you want super fancy tile... or professional quality appliances... those are considered upgrades and we can supply those based on your budget. We can talk about upgrades to your Granny Flat during our initial consultation.

All of our guest homes come standard with really cool features like airtight building envelopes, upgraded insulation, and real plywood sheathing - just to name a few.

We use only the best quality material and the finest ADU craftsmanship - guaranteed.

And the best part... we can have a new ADU designed and built in as little as 6 months!
