The average cost to build one of our ADU’s is around $200,000, depending on number of bedrooms, overall size, and selected upgrades.
Our studios range from $98,000 to $158,000, our 1 bedrooms range from $148,000 to $220,000, and our 2 bedrooms range from $195,000 to $287,000. All of our ADU’s are custom stick built though so we can tailor to your exact needs and placement on the property!
The answer is likely yes!
Due to the new laws in Colorado no cities, counties, or HOA’s will be allowed to deny ADU’s.
The total average timeline of our builds around 12 months. The design phase to ensure your ADU is exactly how you want it to be is 2-3 months, permitting is generally 3-4 months, and the build is 4-6 months until you have a beautiful turn key ADU down to the appliances!
This depends on your property but it is something our site expert can answer for you!
That’s a great question!
We switched from our ADU’s being modular and on wheels to being stick built for three primary reasons.
1. The quality and longevity of our builds weren’t what we wanted before stick built.
2. If they are modular/on wheels, they are not considered dwellings, so you don’t see the value added to your property compared to a stick built ADU.
3. Stick built ADUs allow us to tailor specifically to your property, ensuring a cohesive aesthetic.
The average monthly rent for our ADU’s is $2,000-$3,000 and increase your property value 20-40%.
