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
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. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
