Questions homeowners should ask early
Before choosing an ADU type, it helps to understand how the property will support access, privacy, natural light, utilities, and long-term use. The best option is not always the largest option; it is the one that fits the site, budget, and intended lifestyle.
What affects timeline?
Design complexity, city review, utility work, structural scope, and construction sequencing all influence the overall schedule.
What affects cost?
Size, site work, utility routing, structural upgrades, finishes, and the existing condition of the property all matter.
