Backyard accessory dwelling unit — Austin, TX

Last updated: September 24, 2026

What affects the price

Building an ADU involves variables that shift your total investment. The footprint size and complexity of the architectural design are primary factors. Are you planning a detached unit that requires new utility trenching, or is this a garage conversion that uses existing plumbing? Site accessibility, soil conditions, and your choice of finishes—like luxury flooring versus standard options—also play significant roles. Permitting fees vary widely depending on your local municipality and current zoning requirements. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

This is a detached living space built on your property, separate from your main home. People typically choose this option when they need a private office, a guest suite, or a separate place for family members to stay while maintaining distance from the primary house. These units use existing yard space to add square footage to your property without an addition to the main structure. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
