What is an ADU?

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are known by many names: man caves, in-law quarters, home office, rental unit, and more. Regardless of what they’re called, ADUs are affordable, innovative, and an effective option for adding on much-needed housing to your California property.

The first step in the process of building an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on your property is to have a feasibility study conducted on your site. Working with our architect and design team, we will determine exactly what can be built on your particular lot. The study includes a review of building codes and zoning requirements, a site map and site plan, the allowable square footage and the basic layout of your ADU, building setbacks, parking requirements, site accessibility, deed restrictions, location of utilities and maximum site density.

Upon completion of the feasibility study, Premier ADU will discuss the available options with you, the homeowner. The feasibility study allows us to diligently explore and, if the parties agree, enter into a written agreement for Premier ADU’s provision to incorporate an accessory dwelling unit on your property.
