It has been an interesting, thrilling, exhausting and exciting process building the ADU but we are so happy that we did it. The saying goes that construction takes twice as long and twice as much as you expect and we would have to say there’s a reason that saying is so! If anyone is looking to build an ADU, we definitely recommend trying to price out as much as you can up front before starting the project. From the permits, to the engineer to the drafter and the contractor… there were a lot of moving parts but you have to do your best to be as involved in the process as possible.
We hope that this investment in the ADU will add some value to the property overall. An ADU is a great way to earn additional income, offer housing to relatives or just have as an additional living space.
