Plan the entire project, not just the floor plan

An ADU is a compact home with a full set of construction needs. Site access, grading, foundations, utilities, kitchens, bathrooms, and exterior connections all belong in the early conversation. We work with the design team to understand the proposed unit and identify construction considerations before the build. Detached units, attached additions, and conversions each require a different assessment of the property.

What your project can include

Construction planning and site access review
Site preparation and foundation work
Framing, roofing, windows, and doors
Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and utility coordination
Kitchen, bathroom, and interior finish installation

A clear scope before construction

The Maven Associates coordinates residential construction with homeowners, architects, and interior designers. We prepare itemized estimates, identify finish responsibilities, and address requested changes through a documented process.

What shapes the budget

An ADU budget should consider site work and utility connections alongside the unit itself. Access limitations, existing structures, service upgrades, design complexity, and finishes can change the investment significantly. We review those factors rather than relying on square footage alone.

Start with the right information

Send the property address, survey or site plan if available, existing drawings, and your intended use. A site review helps identify questions for the design team and the jurisdiction responsible for the project.

ADU Construction FAQs

Should I build a detached ADU or convert a garage?

The better option depends on the existing structure, available space, utility routing, access, and your goals. We can compare the construction implications of both approaches.

Can you provide a construction estimate from approved plans?

Yes. A coordinated plan set and finish information allow us to prepare a more defined estimate and identify exclusions or allowances.

Will an ADU produce a specific rent or resale return?

We do not promise a financial return. Construction cost is one input; use property-specific rental and valuation information when evaluating the investment.
