ADU Contractor Building Types

On the market, the manufacturers have come up with different variations of ADUs to fit the liking of every customer. However, it may be difficult to figure out which one fits your needs and hence is worth your investment. Let us take a closer look at different home additions you can build with help from general contractors.

Attached ADU

The name here speaks for itself. This residential unit will be connected to one of the walls of the already existing space. What is positive, you will have instant access to it via a door connecting your main residence and an ADU. This option will also fit you if there is not much free space on your lot for building, for example, a detached ADU.

Detached ADU

Contrary to the attached ADU, this type will stand separately on your lot. It is a totally new construction located near the primary residence that has all the necessary utilities for comfortable living. Consequently, this accessory dwelling unit allows tenants to maintain much more privacy. Living in this ADU will make them feel more independent, so it is a perfect option for a single family.

Conversion ADU

If new construction on the lot seems too much for you, it may be better to simply remodel the already existing space. Many homeowners in California have already ordered the simplest conversion, the garage conversion. A+ general contractor can transform your basement or a spare room into a unit where everyone will instantly feel at home.

Junior ADU

In comparison with the options presented above, this variant is different from them only in size. All in all, it is simply any above-mentioned option, but with smaller dimensions. One ADU of this type cannot exceed 500 square feet. Still, having just one junior ADU can serve as a custom home for the dwellers.

Accessory dwelling units have anchored their place in the lives of many homeowners as an affordable and convenient addition to the primary home. It is a real trend in the world of construction, and, despite the recent decline caused by the pandemic, we estimate that the number of happy clients owning an ADU will not cease to grow. However, to get the end product of great quality, it is highly important to entrust this work to a team of professionals.

ADU Contractor Kings Beach

With the abundance of general contractors, it becomes more and more difficult to find the right one for the development of the ADU project and future construction. Keep in mind the following key elements that will allow you to find the best contractor for the construction of your accessory dwelling unit.

Portfolio

The best way to find out what general contractor to hire is to look through their finalized projects. This will help you see their design choices and notice how reliable they are. Normally, trustworthy home builders can boast a large list of previous projects. Take a look at their site or ask for a catalog to see whether they will be able to make an ADU of your dream a reality.

Budget

Another thing to consider is the budget you have for the realization of the project. Normally, home builders create projects that fluctuate around the same price. On the site, you can find information about pricing options. Remember that it may be different depending on an ADU type and the course of the construction. Opt for the ones that seem to fit your budget before ordering ADU construction.

Licenses

The owner also has to check whether the builders possess all the legal documents, like general contractors’ licenses. It would be foolish to spend your hard-earned thousands of dollars to hire a crew without proper documents. Moreover, they will have to take care of your legal documents that accord to the state law in the process, for example, a building permit, but how will they do it if they don’t have documents on their own? Don’t forget about the TRPA code, which has to be taken into consideration too.

These are the main points to look at while choosing a contractor. We can safely say that a project of any complexity level is not a problem for A+ Construction & Remodeling company; hence ordering them an ADU project would be a great choice.

ADU Unit Construction Kings Beach

General contractors are a vital element in the chain when it comes to the construction of an ADU. For sure, an owner can imagine what design and what size of an ADU they want, but who will monitor whether the desires follow the laws created by local jurisdiction? This is where builders come into the business. Their job is not entirely focused on the development of a bonus unit on your property, but also on seeing if the local regulations and state laws are not violated.

If you want to build bonus units in Kings Beach, your unit has to fit these requirements:

1. Normally, people in charge in the Tahoe area require the unit to be no more than 1000 square feet for a normal ADU and half of that for a Junior ADU. What is more, any unit in California has to be more than 150 square feet. Take this information into consideration before planning to build an ADU.
2. There are certain restrictions concerning the height of your future unit as well. An ADU built in Placer County cannot exceed 30 feet if it is attached. For a Detached ADU, this number is slightly lower, only 16 feet.
3. According to California legislation, every ADU has to be built with a separate entrance and a list of commodities. This new home of some sort should have a kitchen, sleeping, and bathroom area. What is more, you will have to install new utility connections if an ADU is detached.

Our own crew of lawyers will ensure that your ADU, hopefully our next project, will not cause any questions from the local jurisdiction. Hire A+ Construction & Remodeling company and save yourself from any possible headaches.
