Expert ADU Design & Builders serving the Greater East Bay
ADU Construction in Hayward & Beyond
Accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, are a fantastic solution to so many space issues that homeowners have. They can add the space you need to have family live with you or rent out part of your home. Or, keep the extra space for yourself and your family and create a home office, a media room, or space for your growing family. No matter what you’re dreaming of, Soto Bay Construction is the ADU builder in Hayward who can help you bring it to life.
ADU Design
For a small space, a lot goes into ADU design. Of course, you want to focus on the fun stuff, like the fixtures, materials, and colors that will go into your new space. There are also more practical concerns, such as HVAC, ventilation, plumbing and electricity. The benefit of having Soto Bay Construction walk you through your design is that those practicalities will be taken care of by experts who care about the long-term quality of your space.
Creating a design for any space is a collaborative process. You tell us your ideas, what you need from the space, and what kind of style and features appeal to you. We create a design and work with you to get every little detail right, from the ceiling light fixtures to the baseboards. Always, our ideas are grounded in your budget and the practicalities you need in the space.
We’ll help you create an ADU design that is the best version of your vision, with the right layout, materials, and features to function as you want it to for years to come. If you need it, our designs can even adapt to new uses you have planned down the road.
ADU Regulations in Hayward
Hayward and other parts of California have strict regulations around housing, and ADUs are no exception. In order to build an ADU that will be approved, you need to have a robust design that conforms to the rules and permits for the work. Our team will take care of these headaches so that you don’t have to worry about them. We understand the specific ADU rules in Hayward and surrounding areas, which are different from the ADU regulations in other parts of the state. We can guide you to make the right decisions to keep your space legal, whether you want to rent it or live in it yourself, and avoid hassle from the government.
Our standards are high – we work as a very high performing real estate agents in the East Bay and we know every contractor/vendor under the sun. We are so glad we chose this family to do our own home renovation upon the recommendation of a dear friend at Hayward City Planning who has done a great deal of development and flipping. Wonderful work; wonderful experience, delightful people. Our house is gorgeous.

Building an ADU is a lot like building a full size home. Even a smaller ADU still typically requires architectural planning, roofing, plumbing, HVAC, and interior design. At Soto Bay Construction, we keep as much of the work in house as possible, while only working with a small network of carefully vetted subcontractors. That allows us to keep our project quality high and our project timelines short.
All Inclusive
ADU laws are changing, and it can be difficult to keep track of what is and isn’t allowed. The good news is that our team of professionals stays on top of the changes, so you don’t have to. Our team works with local permitting offices to make sure that every ADU we install is up to code, adheres to all local zoning restrictions, and will be in good shape for years to come.
ADUs on Your Terms
You have a lot of options when it comes to building an ADU. It you are planning on renting the unit out as its own tiny home property, then you’ll probably want a nice kitchen or kitchenette, as well as a bedroom. But if you’re looking for something smaller, a detached office or attached bonus room are also great options. We can even convert your garage into your next ADU (if permitted in your area. Call now to learn more.)
Green Energy Approved
If you’re serious about environmental sustainability, we can design your ADU to minimize its carbon footprint and maximize its energy efficiency. Choose from high-efficiency dual pane windows, ductless mini-split HVAC systems, solar power, and many other options to keep your new ADU in the green.
Choose Soto Bay Construction as your ADU builder in Hayward, and you’ll get a top-quality space that will be a joy to be in and an asset to your home.
