FAQ: ADU Building
An accessory dwelling unit, also referred to as an ADU, is a small independent living space built on the property of a primary residence. California laws require ADUs to have their own bathroom, kitchen, and sleeping area, as well as their own private entrance, with access to power, water, and sewer. ADUs have to meet health, fire, and building codes to be legally occupied.
Building a San Diego ADU can take anywhere from a few months to a year, from acquiring permits to completion, depending on its size and complexity. Permit approvals for building an ADU can take as long as the construction does. The process also may include developing plans, site preparation, and final inspections. Partnering with reliable ADU contractors in San Diego can shorten delays and streamline the process to keep your ADU project moving forward.
The overall cost of building an ADU in San Diego varies. A basic conversion is relatively affordable, while a fully detached unit made with premium materials, a new foundation, and roofing, increases costs. The square footage and condition of the existing property may affect the price as well. Prices reflect local building codes, energy requirements, and whether professional design and engineering services are needed. Adding upgraded appliances, high-end finishes, or special architectural features may have additional costs.
California homeowners are legally allowed to rent out ADUs, as long as they meet building and safety standards. Many homeowners build them for long-term tenants. The state encourages ADU development because it helps address the housing shortage with practical, low-cost housing options. Review your city and county guidelines for short-term ADU rentals before building to ensure no restrictive policies are in place, including for vacation rentals.
When you hire specialized ADU contractors in San Diego instead of a general contractor, you gain the advantage of working with experts who understand the unique requirements of ADU permitting, zoning rules, construction, and connecting with utilities. Our DS Legend ADU contractors understand the nuances of compact layouts, city approvals, and energy standards specifically for ADUs, so they can reduce delays and avoid mistakes. When building an ADU, working with an experienced ADU specialist can lead to faster approvals and a smoother construction timeline.
