By far, the most common placement is in the backyard. However, there are a few exceptions, such as being in the sideyard or even the front of your house, provided there is enough room when considering setbacks, local regulations, and any unique easements on your property.

Because our ADUs are stick-built on-site, we can customize our base models and create a custom-built ADU from scratch. From floor plans, room sizes, kitchen fixtures, and cosmetic changes, we can help you make the exact space you’ve always imagined.

The key elements that you can customize include:

• Internal finishes from floors to tile to countertops to appliances and more!

Many financing options are available for ADUs through our various partners. Our ADU experts can help you find the best lenders for your desired terms and current qualifications.

The most common type of financing for an ADU project is a Home Equity Line Of Credit (HELOC), but several other options are available, including renovation and personal loans.

Yes, we do offer shell or unfinished versions of our ADUs. With our shell model ADUs, we still handle the whole process for you and finish everything except for the interior of the ADU.

For the interior of a shell model ADU, we would complete rough plumbing, rough electrical, and framing, leaving the rest for you to complete on your own or using your subcontractors.

A shell model ADU costs approximately 60% of the cost of one of our finished units! We also offer a “shell+” option, which includes everything in the shell plus drywall and flooring. 

All of our ADUs are block-built right on your property, which almost eliminates access issues that prevent you from being able to build an ADU!

In addition, block-built ADUs yield better quality and add more value to your home, ultimately giving you a better return on investment. Block-built units often appraise for more than prefabricated or manufactured options.

Our ADUs are built on a permanent slab foundation as a standard, but we can also build them on raised foundations.

Homes on wheels cannot be considered an ADU or permitted on your property except for a few select areas.

Depending on your municipality, the largest ADU you can build is 1,000 sqft. However, this does change slightly based on your city or county legislation. A maximum square footage or percent total of your primary home is typically used.

Most likely, no. In most cases, you are allowed only one additional dwelling unit. However, local laws may allow other accessory structures, such as a guesthouse or pool house.

Yes, we can! If you already have plans you love and have been pre-approved by your city, you can build them.

Every ADU project includes design, engineering, permitting, and construction, and the timeline can vary depending on your city and county requirements.

The permitting phase is usually the most unpredictable part of the process — but once approvals are in place, our streamlined system allows us to complete your ADU much faster and more efficiently than most builders.

For a more precise timeline, reach out to us today. One of our ADU specialists will review your property and location to give you a more personalized estimate.

Yes, all ADUs must be permitted, including conversions. However, we handle this whole process for you, making creating your new space as easy and stress-free as possible!

How much space you need largely depends on the size of the ADU you want to build. Our smallest standard ADU size is 384 sq ft. with standard setbacks. You typically need about 25’ x 30’ of space or more to build a Florida Made ADU.

Our pricing covers foundation, construction, finishes, design, engineering, permit submission, and more. The only costs not included are city/county permit fees and utility hookup fees.

During your FREE Property Analysis & Estimate, we’ll map out the hookup path for your property and provide a detailed estimate that includes all utility hookup costs upfront.

Permit and utility hookup fees can vary significantly based on several factors — including the size of your ADU, where it will be built, the distance for trenching, and whether any utility upgrades are required.

The best way to get an accurate estimate is to schedule a FREE Property Analysis & Estimate with one of our Certified ADU Experts. They’ll measure and assess your property to give you a detailed breakdown of potential costs.

ADUs do not have to be detached from your primary home. You can build attached ADUs that are directly connected to your home, garage conversions of an attached garage, or even a Junior ADU created from renovating space inside your home!

Yes, you can! It has to meet all local code ADU requirements.

An ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) is a self-contained living space that includes a full kitchen and bathroom, and is officially approved as an ADU through your city or county’s permitting process.
