Sacramento Adu Design Build. Turnkey Design & Build

Accessory dwelling units are one of the hottest topics in residential construction today. For homeowners with the right property and lifestyle to make an ADU project a success, having access to a design-build team specializing in ADU design build can be invaluable.

Design-build teams and general contractors, such as A+ Company, can provide expert knowledge on the various aspects of an Sacramento ADU contractor project, from feasibility studies and preliminary design to permitting, building management, and completion.

At A+ Remodeling & Construction Company, we specialize in ADU designing and can guide you through every process step, from design to management.

What is an ADU?

An ADU, also known as an accessory dwelling unit or granny flat, is a self-contained living space on the same asset as a single-family home. ADUs can take many forms, such as a guest house, a garage conversion, or simply an additional space added to an existing home. These units can provide much-needed space for family members or be rented out to generate additional income.

ADUs have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their many advantages. Other option that may suit well is a backyard cottage ADU building type. They provide an additional living area for families or renters at a relatively low cost and give homeowners the ability to invest in their properties without having to buy more land—ideal for those looking for rental income from an extra unit or just wanting more room for themselves.

ADU Build Benefits

There are many advantages to adding an ADU to your asset. Here are the main ones:

1. Additional square feet: If you have family members who need a place to stay, an accessory dwelling unit can be a great solution.

2. Additional income: Alternatively, you can rent out the ADU as a source of additional income, particularly in the California regions that A+ serves, like the bay area.

3. Custom design: Another benefit of an ADU is the opportunity to create a custom design for your house. Whether you want a small, efficient space or a larger, more luxurious unit, design is where your ideas become tangible.

4. Value: an ADU can also potentially add value to your property. As the demand for housing increases, an ADU can be a valuable asset that sets your property apart from others on the market.

You can work with experienced ADU designers and architects to decide the best use of space and create a floor plan that meets your needs and budget.

ADU Types

Accessory Dwelling Units are a great way to manage sites with limited space. There are a variety of different types of ADUs, including detached, attached, garage conversions, granny flats, converted sheds, and basement apartments.

Each type of ADU has different characteristics that should be taken into account when looking at potential bids for the project. For example, a detached unit will need more changes to the outside than an attached unit because it has to be built on top of an existing building or completely off the ground.

Detached

Detached ADUs are freestanding structures that are separate from the primary residence on the property. It can be placed directly adjacent to the house or further back on the lot, depending on local regulations and zoning ordinances. The detached building usually has a bedroom, kitchenette, bathroom, and other amenities like a patio or deck.





Attached

Attached ADUs, also known as attached secondary dwellings, is a great way to increase the livable area of your home while still keeping all amenities within close proximity. These homes can be added to an existing structure or built from scratch.





Garage Conversion

Garage conversions are often seen as an ideal solution when dealing with limited amounts of space because they do not require any new construction outside and can easily convert an existing garage into a livable area with minimal work required.





Converted Shed

When looking for projects to bid on, consider converting a shed into an accessory dwelling unit. Not only do converted sheds offer tremendous value when compared to traditional construction projects, but they also provide an affordable way to add much-needed living space.





If you're considering adding an ADU to your property, A+ Remodeling & Construction is here to help. Our team of experienced professionals can guide you through every step of the process, from design to project management. Contact us to learn more about our ADU design and build services and how we can help you create the additional living space you need.

ADU Build Considerations

Accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, are small living spaces that are built on the same foundation as a single-family home. There are a few key considerations to keep in mind when constructing an ADU, regardless of whether it is a custom ADU or not:

Size

Many ADUs are under 1,000 square feet, but it is possible to build larger units if desired. It is important to keep in mind that the cost of constructing an ADU increases with the size of the unit, so it may be wise to try to keep the size as small as possible in order to save money.

Cost

This can vary widely depending on the size and complexity of the unit, as well as the location of the asset. It is usually cheaper to build an ADU in an existing space, like a basement or garage, than to build a whole new building

Location

One important thing to consider when building an ADU is the location of the unit. Many people choose to build an ADU in their backyard, as this can be a convenient and affordable way to add living space. However, it is important to make sure that the location of the ADU is appropriate and that it meets all local zoning laws.

Permits

Knowing the specific requirements for building such a structure in your area is important. Despite the fact that state and local governments have been working hard to make regulations easier for homeowners looking to build ADUs.

How ADU Build company can help you?

When designing an ADU for your house, it is essential to work with a company that has experience with designing small spaces. The contractor should be intended to provide a complete bid for the ADU, including all materials, labor, and other costs. Once the bid is accepted, the contractor can proceed with the building process, managing the project from start to finish.

Building an ADU can be a complex process for most homeowners, but it can also be a great way to save tons of money on living expenses. By working with a reputable general contractor, clients can simplify the process and have peace of mind knowing that their project is in good hands. A general contractor can provide a one-stop shop for the whole project, including design, engineering, construction, and working with permits.

A typical general contractor includes a variety of specialists that can provide expertise in different areas. Our team includes an interior designer to help you create a functional and attractive living area. In addition, we work with an architect or engineering specialist to ensure that the ADU meets all local building codes and regulations.

In summary, building an ADU is a great way to add additional space to a house, but it is important to carefully consider the size, cost, and location of the unit. Working with a reputable general contractor who can provide a one-stop shop for the whole process can help to simplify the process and ensure that the project is completed successfully.

By following these considerations, clients can build an ADU that meets their needs and helps them save money in the long run.
