ADU units

ADUs, or accessory dwelling units, are secondary homes on a residential property. They are usually compact (like a tiny house or cottage), but they have their own kitchen, living area, bedroom and entrance. Some ADUs are a suite attached to the main house, while many are built as a separate structure. They are becoming very popular in the Bay Area, and most California neighborhoods are now allowing ADUs to be built on residential properties. There are three different types of ADUs including the popular garage conversion, an Attached ADU, and a Detached ADU. There’s never been a better time to build an ADU than now!

• An attached ADU is similar to a home addition because it is connected to the main structure but is a separate unit. The unit will have its own access, and depending on the city, it might also have its own address. These ADU types are a bit intrusive during construction because they often share the main sewer line and the electrical system. You’ll need to upgrade your electrical service panel to at least a 200 Amp to be able to handle the increased loads. Some municipalities require a double-meter electrical panel.

You will need a full set of plans to submit to the city for review and plan check, once approved, you can obtain a permit to begin construction.
