At SouthSTAR Construction, we understand the importance of transparent pricing and detailed cost breakdowns for our clients. Below is a comprehensive overview of the costs involved in building an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) with us:
Project Plans: Project plans are essential for obtaining permits and ensuring that the ADU meets local building codes and regulations. The price for project plans typically ranges from $4,500 to $20,000, depending on the complexity of the design and the scope of work involved.
City Permit and Plan Check Fees: City permit and Plan Check fees must be accounted for in the overall project budget. These fees are typically billed at the time of plan submittal. As these fees vary depending on the location and specific requirements of the project, we are unable to estimate them in advance. Typically clients can expect to pay between $1,500 – $6,500 in City permit and Plan Check fees. However, rest assured that we will work closely with the City to ensure all necessary permits and approvals are obtained in a timely manner.
Construction Cost: The construction cost for a typical ADU ranges between $250 to $450 per square foot. This includes materials, labor, and general construction expenses. The final cost depends on factors such as the size of the ADU, complexity of design, chosen materials, and any additional features or customizations requested by the client.
Utilities Installation: Utilities such as electrical, sewer, water, fire sprinklers, and gas lines are another factor in the overall cost. These utilities are essential for the functionality and safety of the ADU. However, the cost of utilities installation cannot be estimated upfront as it depends on various factors such as the size of the ADU, specific utility requirements, and the existing conditions on the property. Our team will assess these factors during the project planning phase and provide a detailed cost estimate accordingly.
At SouthSTAR Construction, we are committed to providing our clients with high-quality craftsmanship, transparent pricing, and exceptional customer service throughout the construction process. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your ADU project in more detail, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Building an ADU involves several cost factors, including design and planning, construction, and materials. The overall expense can vary widely based on size, location, and finishes. Generally, cost-effective wood frame construction makes ADUs more affordable than traditional home extensions or new builds. While initial investments may include permits and utility upgrades, the long-term benefits, such as additional income from rent or increased property value, often outweigh these costs.
The construction timeline for an ADU can range from a few months to over a year, depending on factors such as design complexity, permitting processes, and construction scope. Planning and design phases typically take 1-3 months, while obtaining permits can add an additional 1-6 months, depending on local regulations. The construction phase itself usually lasts between 3-9 months. Working with experienced professionals can streamline this process, ensuring efficiency and compliance with all local codes and regulations.
Yes, adding an ADU to your property can significantly increase its value. ADUs provide additional living space which is highly valued in today’s real estate market, especially in areas with housing shortages. They offer potential income through rental opportunities, making properties more attractive to investors and homeowners alike. Moreover, the versatility and added utility of an ADU can appeal to a broad range of buyers, potentially increasing your home’s marketability and sale price.
Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs) are allowed to be created within the walls of a proposed or existing single-family residence and shall contain no more than 500 square feet. JADUs offer additional housing options. They may share central systems, contain a basic kitchen utilizing small plug-in appliances, may share a bathroom with the primary dwelling, all to reduce development costs. JADUs present no additional stress on utility services or infrastructure because they simply repurpose existing space within the residence and do not expand the dwellings planned occupancy.
At SouthSTAR Construction, we offer a complete range of ADU Construction services designed to meet every facet of our clients’ needs for their accessory dwelling unit projects.
