With thoughtfully designed layouts and customizable options, ADU modular plans are the ideal choice for modern homeowners looking to maximize space without compromising design.

What is an ADU?

An Accessory Dwelling Unit, commonly known as an ADU, is a secondary housing structure built on the same lot as a primary home. ADUs can be detached from the main house, attached as a separate section, or integrated within the primary structure itself. These compact homes provide flexible living arrangements for families, guests, or renters. ADUs are increasingly popular due to their affordability, efficient use of land, and potential for generating rental income.

Advantages of Modular ADUs

Modular ADUs are prefabricated structures built in a factory setting, which ensures high-quality construction, faster timelines, and reduced on-site disruption. By utilizing modular building techniques, homeowners can enjoy:

• Cost-effectiveness: Factory-built ADUs reduce labor and material costs.

• Faster construction: Modular units are delivered ready for assembly, shortening project timelines.

• Customizable designs: Choose from pre-designed layouts or modify plans to suit your unique needs.

• Sustainability: Efficient material use and energy-saving designs make modular ADUs eco-friendly.
