Testimonials
Why ADUs Are Important
An ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) is essential for maximizing your property’s potential. It offers flexible living space for family, generates rental income, and boosts property value. In cities like Seattle, where housing is in high demand, an ADU provides an affordable solution for additional housing. It also enhances your home’s functionality and sustainability, making it a smart investment for long-term benefits.
Design and Layout Considerations
The design phase is your opportunity to get creative and maximize the potential of your ADU. Working with a skilled designer can help you optimize the layout, ensuring the space is functional, aesthetically pleasing, and compliant with local regulations. Whether you prefer a modern, minimalist style or a more traditional design, the right layout will make the most of the available space.
Steps to Building Your ADU
- Initial Consultation and Planning
The process begins with a consultation to discuss your vision, needs, and budget. This meeting sets the stage for a successful project by aligning expectations and understanding the scope of work.
- Site Assessment and Design Development
After the consultation, a thorough site assessment is conducted to evaluate the feasibility of your ADU project. Based on this, a preliminary design is created, outlining the layout, structure, and material options.
- Budgeting and Timeline
A detailed estimate and project timeline are provided, covering all costs, including permits, materials, labor, and any potential contingencies. The timeline ensures you know what to expect at each stage of the project.
- Finalizing Design and Materials
Collaborate with your contractor and designer to finalize the design, select materials, and make any necessary adjustments. This step ensures that every detail aligns with your vision and budget.
- Construction and Completion
Construction begins according to the agreed timeline. Upon completion, a final walkthrough is conducted to ensure all aspects of the ADU meet your expectations. The contractor will also provide information on maintenance and warranties.
