An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is an extra residential area having in itself all the basic comforts of human life: a kitchen, a bedroom, and a bathroom. This small living area is located on the same plot of land that the main house already occupies. Accessory dwelling units can be directly adjacent to the primary residence or stay alone to create extra living space.

Affordable housing is no longer a distant dream. With the advent and improvement of ADU construction technologies, the possibilities for a family to increase the amount of habitable space on the same property have greatly multiplied.
ADU Builders Bay Area offers several types of accessory dwelling units for construction:
The attached ADU units are additional construction adjacent to the house, but they have a separate entrance. Such a structure is not part of the main construction, but it has a common wall with it.
Detached accessory dwelling units are structures fenced off from the primary house located in the backyard. There is no common wall between the house and an ADU. However, before building such an ADU, make sure that your local law allows it. ADU builders are responsible, among other things, for being aware of the ADUs permitted in your area, taking into account your property specifics, developing architectural plans, and many other things a layperson may not know about.
A garage conversion is basically not a new ADU but a modified version of the old one. Conversions, as well as other accessory dwelling unit types, include the food preparation area, sleeping area, restroom, and sometimes a laundry room. The only difference is in the execution process. Although the frame of the building is already there, ADU builders still need to strengthen the walls, add windows, conduct electricity and sewerage, etc.
Homeowners resort to building accessory dwelling units for a variety of reasons, including:
ADUs are sometimes called granny flats because they allow an extended family the opportunity to live together, take care of the elderly and children, and free parents (or grown children of aging parents) from the necessity to hire nannies.
Let us consider the most common benefits homeowners can get by adding an ADU to their main house space:
A wonderful way to make use of extra living space is to house guests. Many homeowners have friends and relatives from other cities or states, and some have friendly ties in other countries. In order not to crowd in front of the master bathroom every morning during the guest visit, you can make an additional living unit. Moreover, in the absence of guests, it can also be used in any of the following ways.
Turn losses into profits? If the cost of building an ADU sends chills through your body, consider the following: an average rental sum per month may differ from $1,500 to $2,500 depending on the size and location of the ADU. And this is only from one person! In addition to the fact that you can use this space for your needs during the absence of tenants, you can also be content with passive income that pays off your investments.
An accessory dwelling unit significantly increases the value of your property if you’re planning to sell it. Therefore, if, for example, the sale of a renovated house is in your plans, along with adding another unit to the property, you will get a significant profit.
ADU construction requires expertise and knowledge of federal and California state ADU building laws as well as regulations. Can you erect a building in your backyard? Can the owner be a different person than the one who owns the primary building and the plot of land?
Obtaining construction permits, floor-by-floor planning, and selection of materials – all these are integral parts of project management.
