Construction & Contractors Blog

Did you know that an ADU, also known as an accessory dwelling unit, can add even more value to your property? Not only does it make your property more valuable, but the dwelling unit is also good to have on your land because you can use it for different purposes, such as a home office or a space for guests to stay when visiting you. But before adding an ADU to your property, you should check out some of the different types of ADU building plans to determine which one you like best.

How to Select the Perfect ADU Building Plan

You can view full engineering plans for home additions and choose something that best meets your needs. It's beneficial to go through the process of elimination so that you don't waste too much time looking at plans that wouldn't work for you. For example, if you want to use your accessory dwelling unit as a home office, you likely wouldn't want to look at building plans to turn this space into a tiny home or guest suite for visitors.

When looking at different types of building plans for your ADU, you should consider the following:

• The amount of space you would like to have inside the dwelling unit
• The amount of space you have available on your property to have this type of dwelling constructed
• Your reason(s) for wanting to have an ADU installed on your property
• What you can afford to spend on the unit based on your current budget and whether or not you can afford to exceed the budget if necessary
• The specific features you want your ADU to have
• The type of layout that you believe would look best inside the dwelling

If it makes it easier, list your specific wants and needs and then discuss them with the contractors, who can review the ADU building plans you like best and tweak them to your liking if necessary. The primary objective is to ensure that you can install a custom-tailored ADU on your property that will be everything you envisioned when you initially decided to invest in such an addition for your home.

Once you've made your list and have discussed the details of the ADU building plans that you prefer, the contractors can begin working on the project. From that point, it shouldn't take long for you to have a spacious ADU on your property that you can use however you want.
