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.

About this service

A modular ADU is built in a climate-controlled factory and then transported to your property for assembly. You would choose this route if you want a faster build time and less construction mess in your yard compared to traditional on-site building. Prices fluctuate based on customization options, transportation distance, and site preparation needs. These units are efficient, but the foundation must be ready before delivery.
