Converting garages into Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) is one of the most popular options for expanding living space in residential properties. An ADU, or accessory dwelling unit, is a small detached dwelling located on the same property as the primary residence.
The services involved in converting a garage into an ADU include:
- Permits and regulations:
Converting a garage into an ADU generally requires permits and must comply with local regulations, including zoning, maximum height, building spacing, and other specific requirements. Permitting services are typically provided by construction companies. - Structural work:
Depending on the needs of the project, it may be necessary to perform structural work such as reinforcing walls, roofs, or adding new foundations. This ensures that the conversion is safe and complies with building codes. - Final inspection and delivery:
Once the project is completed, an inspection is carried out to ensure that everything is in compliance with safety standards.
