Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)


Add Value, Space, and Flexibility to Your Property

At U=MC² Construction, we specialize in designing and building Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), also known as additions, granny flats, or casitas. Whether you’re looking for extra living space, a rental income opportunity, or a home office, ADUs are a versatile solution that maximizes your property’s potential.

From concept to completion, we work closely with our trusted architect and engineer partners to ensure your ADU is designed to your specifications, meets local building codes, and is structurally sound.

What Is an ADU?

An ADU is a secondary living unit located on the same lot as your primary residence. ADUs are fully equipped with essential living spaces, including a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living area.

ADUs come in various forms:

  • Detached ADUs: Separate structures, ideal for privacy and flexibility.
  • Attached ADUs: Extensions to your existing home.
  • Garage Conversions: Transform unused garages into beautiful living spaces.

Our team collaborates with architects and engineers to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing design that fits your property.

Why Build an ADU?

    • ADUs can be rented out to generate a steady income stream, making them an excellent investment for homeowners.
  2. Housing for Family
    • Create a comfortable, private space for elderly parents, adult children, or guests.
  3. Increase Property Value
    • An ADU significantly enhances your property’s market value.
  4. Work-from-Home Space
