Navigating the Home-Building Process: From Planning to Completion

Building an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) can be an exciting and rewarding endeavor. ADUs offer additional living space, potential rental income, and increased property value.

However, navigating the home-building process can be complex, especially for first-time builders. In this guide, we'll walk you through the key stages of building an ADU, from initial planning to final completion.

Phase 1 — Planning & Design: Define your goals, choose a floor plan, and work with designers to customize your unit. Consider how the ADU will relate to your main home and property.

Phase 2 — Permitting: Navigate local zoning laws and building codes. ADORE Homes handles all permit applications and approvals on your behalf.

Phase 3 — Construction: Our factory-built approach means your ADU is constructed in a controlled environment while site preparation happens simultaneously, dramatically reducing build time.

Phase 4 — Installation & Finishing: The completed module is delivered and installed on your prepared foundation. Final connections, landscaping, and inspections complete the process.

Phase 5 — Move-In: Your new ADU is ready to enjoy. Whether it's for family, rental income, or a home office, you're now reaping the benefits of your investment.
