🏗️ Another ADU coming together in Los Angeles.
6 weeks of work compressed into 30 seconds — foundation, framing, roof, exterior. Watching a project go from dirt to dried-in never gets old.
ADUs continue to be one of the smartest moves a Southern California homeowner can make right now. Rental income, multigenerational living, home office, increased property value — there's almost always a strong return on the investment.
A few things we get asked constantly:
💰 Cost: Most LA-area ADUs land between $200K–$450K depending on size, finishes, and site conditions
⏱️ Timeline: 8–14 months total (design + permits + construction)
📐 Size: Up to 1,200 sq ft detached on most LA County lots
🏡 Owner-occupancy: No longer required under California state law
