Adu unit — Chico, CA
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
An ADU, or accessory dwelling unit, is simply a secondary housing unit on the same lot as a primary residence. People look into these units when they need more functional square footage, such as a home office, gym, or guest house. Because designs vary from simple studios to multi-bedroom layouts, the total build budget depends on your specific site constraints and material choices. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
