ADU’s benefit communities by adding more housing units while maintaining the character of a neighborhood. ADU’s are more affordable to build than other types of housing, such as single-family homes, because they do not require buying new land. The Ultimate Guide to ADUs in California.

We are dedicated to designing and building high-quality accessory dwelling units (ADU) in Los Angeles California. Constructing an ADU will enable you to get more out of your property, increase the value of your property, and provide a steady stream of extra income for you.

Five reasons you should build an ADU or JADU on your property

1. Increase Property Value
2. Private Guest Accommodations
3. Rental Income – Short Term & Long Term
4. Low-Cost Housing for Adult Children
5. Separate Space to Work From Home

ADUs or Accessory Dwelling Units are the most in-demand construction projects in California. As a leading ADU construction company, we offer end-to-end services. This includes the design, plans, permits, build, and lastly the final sign-off by the city.

The single largest issue for the majority of employed or retired Californians is finding affordable housing. ADUs and JADUs are more reasonably priced housing options because they are smaller and are located on the same property as another home.

At TheAduGuys We Can Turn Your Dreams Into Reality

Without the need for additional land, adding an ADU and JADUs to your current property adds another housing unit to the market. Additionally, for some people, smaller single-family homes rather than bigger ones are a more sustainable housing alternative due to their ADU or JADU sizes.

Compared to attached ADUs, detached ADUs give occupants more freedom. Renters or service providers may experience a sense of independence and seclusion from neighboring homes. An ADU enables you to provide senior family members more independence than they would have in a retirement community, assisted living facility, or nursing home.

• A statewide exemption ADU is an ADU of up to 800 square feet, 16 feet in height, as potentially limited by a local agency, and with 4 feet side and rear yard setbacks. ADU law requires that no lot coverage, floor area ratio, open space, or minimum lot size will preclude the construction of a statewide exemption ADU.

• Over the past few years it’s become much easier for single-family property owners in California to build accessory dwelling units (ADUs, also known as in-law apartments, granny flats or backyard cottages) and junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs). JADUs are essentially units built within existing structures, e.g., bedrooms with attached bathrooms converted into separate rental units. Prior to 2017, local jurisdictions often used confusing and burdensome permitting requirements to impede ADU/JADU construction. Many towns banned garage conversions, or forced owners to continue residing on converted properties. But statewide ADU/JADU standards enacted over the last five years, coupled with restraints on local control, have fostered a backyard building boom.

Size Requirements

Is there a minimum lot size requirement?

• No, while local governments may impose standards on ADUs, these standards shall not include minimum lot size requirements. Further, lot coverage requirements cannot preclude the creation of a statewide exemption ADU (800 square feet ADU with a height limitation of 16 feet and 4 feet side and rear yard setbacks). If lot coverage requirements do not allow such an ADU, an automatic exception or waiver should be given to appropriate development standards such as lot coverage, floor area or open space requirements. Local governments may continue to enforce building and health and safety standards and may consider design, landscape, and other standards to facilitate compatibility.
