Design of your ADU should reflect the situation in your backyard – from where is the best view to where is the best exit.
The layout should make sense – if it has to wrap around the main house or perfectly mirror it, so be it.
Even if you bought a modular ADU prefab, it still needs foundation, utility connections and deck to become a comfortable home.
Every wall becomes a big wooden frame, several smaller panels fit into this big frame to become a wall.
These function same way as wood panels, but are heavier plus fire & termite resistant.
A container solutions makes it possible to bring you a 1000 sq ft furnished home in 4 containers to be stitched up on site within days. Deck excluded.
Built in modular or manufactured home factories, these are similar to custom built homes – they come in fixed floor plans though with minimal customizations available.
One of the most comfortable to live in home types, environmentally friendly, it can come as a home kit with every log labeled.
The closest to custom built homes, the pre-cut lumber arrives packaged and numbered to be assembled according to Lego like instructions.
The material will arrive cut to measure. the crew just needs to follow instructions and numbers on the panels to assemble the house.
You won’t have to deal with dust. The ADU prefab will arrive painted. There may be some cracks caused by transportation, but they are minimal.
The bathrooms will be ready to use as soon as your local plumber connects the unit to the water and sewer or septic lines.
Most modular companies have pre-designed sets of color combination. You do not have to sweat the details.
You won’t have to make sure the sink is of the right size and the faucet had enough reach for comfortable use.
You do not have to make sure the appliances, fixtures and finishes arrive on time for different trades. It’s the factory’s headache.

Every thousand dollars matters when you look at an ADU as an investment into your property. This is why we try to save you money with pre-designed plans.
It is also a reason why we consider many parameters of your site and personal requirements when giving you a recommendation. As you know now, prefab ADUs come in different shapes, sizes and materials. There are multiple options for ADU prefab foundations and exterior looks. Not every one of them will work for your backyard.
No run off is allowed off site. Every City and County have their own version of “Clean Bay” to follow.
All permanent homes need foundation. Foundation requires trenching and grading. No escape.
Your septic has to be big enough for additional usage. Your sewer line has to be wide enough for more volume. You will have to comply.
If the main house has sprinklers, your ADU will need sprinklers too.
Your new ADU will be all electric. This means the panel needs enough amperage and breakers to accommodate.
Most of prefabs are built with raised foundation. Most homeowners want sliding doors for better living. This means deck has to be accounted for.
