ADU Construction

Something special, right in your backyard

Accessory dwelling units built in the Tri-Cities. A private in-law suite, a rental with its own address, or a quiet office at the end of the garden, permitted and built start to finish.

Most of the ADUs we put up end up housing a parent, a renter, or an office that finally isn't the dining table. The construction barely differs between the three.

It's a big spend, and the contractor matters more than the plan does. We walk the lot before anyone draws anything and check what your city or county will actually permit. Then we stay on the job through final inspection.

What an ADU can be

  • A private in-law or guest suite
  • A long-term rental with its own address
  • A short-term rental you manage yourself
  • A home office or studio away from the house
  • Somewhere to downsize into while family takes the main house
  • Attached, detached, or converted from an existing garage

Start from a plan we’ve already built

An existing plan is cheaper to build and quicker to permit, because the drawings are already done and the jurisdiction has seen them before. There are 19, from 356 to 1,521 sq ft.

How a project goes

You’ll see a written scope and a price before anything gets ordered. The rest of it goes like this.

    Feasibility

    We look at your lot, your setbacks, and what your city or county will actually allow before anyone draws anything.

    Meet with the team

    We walk the property together, talk through how you want to use the space, and narrow down a plan.

  3. 03

    Quote

    A written quote covering the plan you chose, the finish package, and the site work your property needs.

  4. 04

    Permit

    We prepare and submit the permit set and manage the back-and-forth with the jurisdiction.

  5. 05

    Construct

    Foundation through final finishes, with regular updates as the work goes.
