Modular(Prefab) ADU

Delivery fee and a crane rental, which is required to drop the unit into the backyard when there is inadequate access on the sides of the main house.
Sales Tax-40% of the price of the prefab ADU . The sale tax may or may not be included in the advertised price for the ADU.
The ADU
Free 30 min. consultation
The California ADU laws are very favorable to homeowners provided that their ADU is not too large, I recommend building a “Statewide Exemption ADU” of less than 750 sq.ft. with four-foot setbacks. In almost all cases, local jurisdictions must allow this type of ADU to be built.
New Detached building (Cottage)
Extension from the main house
JADUs
Free one-hour consultation service for homeowners interested in converting part of their house into an in-law unit.
A JADU is a great solution when the homeowner has a part of their home that can be sectioned off to create a separate unit.
Conversion of existing space ( JADU - junior accessory dwelling unit).
GARAGE CONVERSIONS
Free consultation services for homeowners interested in garage conversion. It may be necessary to have a structural engineer evaluate the condition of the garage.
Converting an attached garage is a good way to create an ADU.
A small one-car garage can only be converted into a studio. A smaller two-car garage (20 feet by 20 feet) provides only 400 sq. ft. of space.
