What is an ADU?

ADUs, or Accessory Dwelling Units, are a variety of home additions that are semiautonomous from the rest of your property. ADUs can include garage conversions, standalone structures, and even additional stories. Most commonly they’re used for housing aging parents, renting out as a separate revenue source, or entertaining. They’ve also become popular solutions for working from home, hobbies like music production and meditation, and entertainment. Whether you want a she-shed, a private studio, a secluded office, or a way to keep your loved ones closer, an ADU could be the answer.

Types of ADU Construction

The first question most people ask is, “should I go with a stick-built ADU or a prefab ADU?” Most ADU builders specialize in one or the other or both. Our experts work with you, ensuring your account for critical factors like general cost, the need for a general contractor, building conditions, customization, and disruption. We assess your specific needs to ensure you choose the appropriate type of ADU construction without compromising the aesthetics of your landscape or exceeding the budget.

How Much Does an ADU Cost?

Price is paramount if you want to hire professional ADU builders, and more so, depending on your preferred ADU construction. A stick-built ADU costs more than a prefab one per square foot, but schedule an inspection and get quotes from several contractors before breaking ground. Professional ADU builders will issue a detailed quote of all the costs involved, including the unit, site prep, permits, utility hookups, and more. Steer clear of contractors who issue quotes via the phone to avoid overage charges during and after the project.

Accessory Dwelling Unit Construction Timeline

Another critical factor to consider before ADU contractors commence construction is the timeline. A prefab is the best option if you need a backyard dwelling unit fast. Soto Bay Construction leverages proven production and process efficiencies to build and install a backyard home quickly. Inexperienced ADU prefab builders take longer, especially when it comes to stick-built construction. You can avoid such inconveniences by scheduling a consultation with our highly trained ADU builders, ensuring you start and complete your project within the timeline.
