Why should you use an ADU Company that takes care of the whole design & build process?
Expedited Permitting Process
The new legislative action has already made the permitting process exponentially more efficient, but it is still a fairly time consuming process. By working with us, you be assured that our teams will coordinate so that the permitting process goes as smoothly as possible when the city has questions that need to be answered.
Streamlined Communication
Working with separate companies for the design/architecture of your ADU and the actual construction can be a very frustrating challenge. Design obviously impacts construction costs and the construction process can also impact design. Keeping separate companies on the same page in a timely fashion can be difficult. When you use Los Angeles ADU Solutions, you will get the benefit of having a single team to communicate all design and construction matters which makes the process much easier on everyone involved.
Faster Turnaround
When the permitting process is expedited and communication is streamlined, this will ultimately result in a much faster process than it would be if you were working with multiple companies. It is estimated that the ADU design and construction process is up to 25% shorter when you work with a single design-build contractor like us.
Cost Savings
Taking all of these benefits into consideration, the byproduct of working with a design-build ADU company is that all of the efficiencies will ultimately result in cost savings to you!

ATTACHED ADU VS DETACHED ADU- WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU?
If you're planning to build an ADU on your property, you'll need to decide what kind of ADU you want. There are two main types of ADUs, including attached ADUs and detached ADUs. Both of these styles offer their own benefits and building processes. Below, we'll explore these different ADU styles and what goes into developing them to help you decide which would be the best option for you.
Attached ADU
Between the two, attached ADUs are the more affordable option for homeowners to build an ADU on their property. As its name implies, an attached ADU is attached to your existing home. These ADUs often vary from home to home. For example, some homeowners have them built off of an exterior wall, while others convert an existing space in the house into an ADU, such as the garage or basement. These attached tiny homes often need fewer materials and less labor to construct. As a result, they're usually much more cost-efficient than detached ADUs. However, they don't always allow as much customization. In addition, building an attached ADU is faster and simpler than detached options. Our team will work with you to create a design, and we can take your original home's square footage and add as much as 50% into your ADU. Our company offers a broad range of floor plans, sizes, styles, and many other customization options to suit any design scheme. Even if you're looking to take your unused garage filled with boxes, you'll never open and transform it into a beautiful tiny home. We can help. Basements also make for an excellent conversion option for an ADU. When it comes to a conversion, whether basement, garage, or any other space in the house, much of the electrical and plumbing exists already, making for fast, easy construction. Regardless of which route you choose for an attached ADU, our team will be with you every step of the way.
Detached ADU
Detached ADUs are accessory dwelling units constructed on your property that are not connected to your primary residence. Though these granny flats are a bit more expensive and time-consuming to build than an attached ADU, they offer many more customization options than an attached unit. Every factor during the building process is totally up to you instead of having to work with your existing house. Our team provides a broad assortment of options in style, design, materials, colors, and more. Whether you're planning a simple, straightforward design that complements the existing architecture of your house or if you want to create a bold, vibrant look that stands out from your property, our company has the options to suit your needs. In addition, a detached ADU affords more flexibility in the design process aside from aesthetics. For example, as long as you have enough space, our team can construct an ADU with as much as 1,200 square feet to meet all of your needs. You can rely on our team of expert ADU builders to help you from start to finish to ensure your detached ADU meets your needs and complements your style.
HERE ARE THE TOP 3 ADU FINANCING OPTIONS THAT WE RECOMMEND
If you're not paying for your ADU out of pocket, our company offers several excellent lending partners in Los Angeles that can help you every step of the way to finance your ADU construction project. If you want to develop an ADU on your property, uncertainties with money shouldn't prevent you from calling us and achieving your goals. Our team will help you navigate the financing process and explore all of our lending options to find the perfect one for you. Keep in mind; your ADU can pay for itself with the right cash flow strategy while providing you with passive income in the process.
01 Cash Out Refinance
The cash out refinance option utilizes your existing home equity. As we've mentioned, your home equity is the difference between what your property is worth and how much you still owe on it. If you choose this method, you'll cash out your home equity and refinance your mortgage. This equity you cash out is how you'll pay for your ADU, and you'll have a monthly payment from the refinancing. Often, this option provides low-interest rates, and you may end up with a mortgage payment that's similar or potentially lower than your previous payment.
02 HELOC
The HELOC financing option consists of issuing you a line of credit, similarly to a credit card, based on your home equity. HELOC actually stands for Home Equity Line of Credit. These loans come with variable interest, which means that your interest rate can change during the loan agreement. When you choose a HELOC loan, you only pay interest on the money you draw from the line of credit instead of paying interest on a lump sum. This financing option usually has a 20 to 25-year pay-off timeline.
03 Construction Loan
Construction loans are the best option when you're not working with much equity. These loans are only based partially on your home equity, focusing more on your income and credit score instead. The construction loan process involves refinancing your mortgage based on the future projected value of your property after the ADU is finished. These are short-term loans with high interest. However, they're the ideal option for any homeowner with no equity to utilize. Securing a construction loan consists of submitting a loan application, and if you're approved, you don't get the money until after we provide our detailed estimate. Our team will ensure that you have an ADU design that will fit your loan budget, and after you've been approved, you'll reappraise and refinance your home.
