New Construction ADU

Unleash the potential of your unused space.

What is a new construction ADU and it is right for you?
A new construction ADU is a detached or attached new structure built on your property for the intended purpose of renting out or providing housing for family, friends, or perhaps even yourselves. The best properties for a new construction ADU have a flat yard with space available, no heritage/protected trees, easy access from the street for getting materials to the building site, and, of course, close to public transit so you don’t need to provide off street parking. Through SB9, any residential zoning is eligible to build a new construction ADU or garage conversion ADU.
Benefits of a new construction ADU
Building a new construction ADU will increase your property value more than a garage conversion. Not only will you be able to keep your garage, a value add in and of itself, you’ll be adding a completely separate money maker on your property as well. The cost of building a new construction ADU is slightly higher than a garage conversion, as you’re building from scratch rather than on an existing slab, but the difference isn’t much and the ROI will quickly outweigh the cost. The immediate value of a completed ADU will be greater than the cost it was to build.

An investment you can feel good about.

As we mentioned above, the immediate value of a completed ADU will be greater than the cost it was to build. ADUs not only generate monthly income, but they also increase the resale value of your property! When done right, new construction ADUs, in particular, have the potential to increase your property up to 30%

Our Approach

You're a partner, not a project.

As a partner in this process, you are our priority. Your ADU is our focus, not just another item on the to-do list.

Before we work together to plan and execute your project, we must work together to explore the possibilities of your ADU. During the Exploration Phase we work with you to take a deep dive into your vision for your property as well as the feasibility of that vision in terms of what your property can handle and what kind of investment that will take. This is the time to dream big and think out loud. As your partner in this process, we will be there to guide you through the exploration of your possibilities.

The Planning & Permitting Phase is when we hit the ground running. This phase includes a “Professional Services Agreement” or PSA. During the PSA, we will be faithfully moving forward in creating the ADU of your vision. Some of the things you can expect to happen during this time are: architectural and engineered drawings to secure city permits, interior design options, an itemized bid to complete your project.

In our experience, a well-designed and planned project is also more likely to finish on time and on budget. We understand that you may want to make a change or two along the way – we are prepared to accommodate any changes you want, and our Contract will explain how costs associated with your changes will be handled.

Now we get to execute on all that planning! Our crews and your Project Manager will begin building or converting your ADU. During the Construction & Completion Phase, we run city inspections, host on job project status meeting will owners to review work completed and plan for work that is ahead. At the end of the project we will do a final job walk-through with you to answer operation questions regarding appliances, heating and cooling systems, or any other questions you may have. We will, of course, do a final clean up of the site and finally, the space is done and yours to enjoy how you see fit.

Stellar experience working with Mario and Marisela! They practice excellent communication, and their work was on budget, on time and very creative. Their whole team was great — very friendly and skilled and they really went all in to make our vision a reality. We would definitely work with New Generation again!
