Accessory Dwelling Unit
What is an ADU?
An accessory dwelling unit (ADU), also known as a backyard house, guest house, or casita, is a small home that can be built on the same lot alongside another, larger single-family home, or as a part of a community development.
Self-Sufficient
They are self-sufficient dwellings and contain a kitchen, a living area, bathroom facilities, and a bedroom. Detached ADUs, complete standalone units ranging from 435 sq. ft. to 660 sq. ft. Accessory dwelling units can be used in a number of different ways.
Long-term Rental Unit
ADUs are becoming more and more popular as rentals, especially in densely populated areas where affordable housing is scarce. Because the unit is completely self-contained, detached ADUs provide a great living experience for both tenant and homeowner, while providing affordable housing where there may be limited housing options.
Vacation Rental Unit
In popular destination locations, ADUs are being used as vacation rentals across the country.

ADUs can also be used as extra living space for the primary residence. Many people use it as a studio, home office, or space for the kids. They are a great way to increase living space square footage, without undertaking a major construction project to add an addition.

Why Factory Built ADUs?
ADUs are built in more than a dozen manufacturing facilities and can be shipped to 48 states. The unit is built in a factory, then delivered to the building site where the builder will install it. There are many reasons why offsite construction can be superior to site-built methods.
Weather
One major benefit of offsite construction is that the home is built indoors. This means it is protected from the elements, water damage, and mold while under construction. This also protects against theft and other construction site problems that can arise.
Economies of Scale
Our nationwide factory network allows us to buy materials such as lumber in bulk, which keeps everything affordable.
Speed
Factory-built ADUs have the potential to be completed a lot faster than their site-built counterparts. Our ADU units can be built in the factory in a matter of days, and installation by the builder can take a few days. The faster the ADU is completed, the quicker you can move on to your next project.
