What Could You Do With an Extra 400–800 Square Feet?

As remote work has become more prevalent, so have the requests of building ADU construction add-ons. This type of structure can provide flexible space for work and play. You could create a home office, a workshop, or an area dedicated to visiting friends and family. An ADU add-on is also a viable option for creating additional income as a rental space that sits on a property you already own.

ADU Add-Ons Can Increase Home Value by Up to 50%

A recent study found that an ADU add-on can contribute 25%-34% of additional value to a property’s assessment. It was also found to increase the resale value of a residential home by an average of 51%. The square footage of the ADU add-on contributes to the overall square footage of your home.

There Are Several Benefits To ADU Construction

You already know the upside but you want to show your curious neighbors just how savvy you can be. Here are a few ways you can utilize an ADU:

Build Smart with Land You Already Own
