Benefits of ADU Building

With an ADU project in mind, one may still be hesitant because of the unclear benefits of such construction. Later in this article, we will tell you about ways to squeeze out of an ADU with all the advantages imaginable:

• Creating extra room for housing retired relatives

Be closer to your loved ones by settling them within your plot. If your elderly parents need attention, then a small, cozy home in the backyard is just what you need! Imagine how happy a granny could be sitting on a rocking chair on the deck and sipping hot tea when all of her dear kids and grandkids are just a few steps away from paying a visit.

• Staying within the community of your childhood

The native home remains in our hearts, comes to us in dreams, and in every way draws us back to the familiar and cozy. If you are one of the people who do not dream of moving to another city but, on the contrary, gravitate toward a long-known, beloved community, but there is not enough space in a parent’s house, an ADU can be a wise solution.

• Harboring guests

If there are plenty of family members, but your home is not that big, it takes so much for the guests to stay, even for a week. First of all, you have to get inventive with scarce bathrooms and bedrooms, which adds to the arguments against long guest visits to your home. However, even a small ADU can fix this problem, allowing you to enjoy a fun vacation with friends from other cities and states.

• Receiving rent as passive income

The construction of an ADU can be not only a project to create additional living space but also a project to provide extra income. So, renting an ADU with two bedrooms in California can add about $2,000 to $2,300 per month to your family’s budget.

• Adding value to your property on sale

If you are engaged in such business projects as buying, repairing, and selling houses, ADU can add up to 25% to the property value. ADU buildings can be a great investment, fully paying off their construction and even making a profit.

Prefab ADU Construction

If you need a little extra space, but the budget does not allow large-scale construction, you can turn your vision toward prefab ADUs.

The undeniable advantages of prefab ADUs include their cheapness (a dramatically lower price than standard ones). Much of the building is already done at the factory, so it takes way less time to assemble what has already been pre-made. If you’re looking forward to moving in faster, you can prepare the working site in parallel with making an ADU at the factory. Also, manufacturing prefab models will reduce noise and mess on your land. It is true that you cannot make your own individual changes to such designs. However, this does not make their quality mediocre. A+ Construction & Remodeling offers ADUs that are designed in accordance with high construction standards and carefully checked before sale.
