ADU COSTS & FINISH DETAILS

AS OF SEPTEMBER 2024 OUR STARTING PRICE FOR STANDARD LEVEL OR "RENTAL GRADE" ADU CONSTRUCTION STARTS IN THE LOW-MID $300 per sq. ft range.

 

Like everything in the world, costs fluctuate depending on a variety of variables. We believe in full transparency in costs as it saves time for everyone involved.

The cost of your ADU will increase based off many variables. These include the size of the ADU, how many ADUs you are building at a time, land conditions (e.g. flat lot versus sloped, grading, foundation complexity, utility locations) and local permitting requirements (e.g. plan check fees, permit fees, school fees, utility fees if any).

 

Build costs will be affected by the level of finishing as well. Standard pricing always includes a standard level of finish or what we sometimes call "rental grade", including entry level appliances and fixtures.

Below is a breakdown of our our standard level or "rental grade" finishes. Note items with a "++" are additional costs.
