We guide you through each phase, from initial assessment to final completion, with practical, step-by-step guidance.
ADU stands for Accessory Dwelling Unit. It's a secondary housing unit on a single-family residential lot. ADUs can be attached to a home, within an existing home, or a detached structure on the property.
