🎶ADUs have so many uses!🏘️

Our fabulous Keely walks us through some updates on a future music studio! From extra living space to creative space, an ADU can be designed around what makes the most sense for you✅

💚We love seeing each project take on a personality of its own & this one is going to be a fun one to follow!🎸

🏗️Framing update on our custom ADU build in SE Portland!🏘️

We’re using platform framing on this two-story build & the second story is officially going up🙌

A typical ADU takes our crew about 2 weeks to frame from start to finish. Next up, trusses will go in & we’ll really start to see the final shape of this home take form✅

One step closer💚

A few of us went for a walk the other day...😂

The "Risky Beaches," sponsored by Blondie's Excavation, took on the Portland to Coast Relay and made it all the way to the coast🙌 Lots of miles, lots of laughs & lots of memories we'll never forget💚

⚡️How do we power an ADU construction site before the ADU has power of its own?🏘️

🔌That’s where a spider box comes in. It gives our crews safe, temporary power throughout the build, keeping the tools running & the project moving💪

🏘️This custom ADU packs plenty into just 560sqft, with a one-car garage, extra storage & a half bath on the lower level, plus a complete private living space upstairs💚

✅ 1 bedroom + 1 bathroom
🍳 Full kitchen + open living space
☀️ Large windows + vaulted ceilings
🚗 One-car garage + additional storage
🌲 Warm Pacific Northwest-inspired finishes

Soft green cabinetry, natural wood tones and creamy whites give the interior a calm, welcoming feel while thoughtful use of vertical space makes this compact home feel surprisingly spacious.

A great example of how smart design can turn 560sqft into something that feels like so much more🙌

How do we connect power & water to an ADU? 🤔

One double-gang meter box, a directional drilling machine, crawlspace access & a trench later... we make it happen 💪 Turns out, getting the lights on & water running takes a little dirt first🪏
