An ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT (ADU) is also known as in-law quarters, next gen suite, granny flat, cottage suite, carriage house, or secondary dwelling unit. 

An ADU is a secondary housing unit that is located on the same parcel of property as a primary residence and must be subordinate in size to the primary dwelling. It can sometimes be attached to the primary residence but is typically detached from it. An ADU must provide a separate entry, independent living facilities, including living, sleeping, cooking, and bathroom facilities. The kitchen in an ADU must have a sink with running water, a countertop, cabinets, and a stove or stove hookup. 

Many of Bergstrom Construction clients often build an additional garage, shop or RV garage separate from the exisitng home garage when we build thier ADU, providing a space for the extra vehicles. 

THERE ARE SEVERAL BENEFITS OF HAVING AN ADU. HERE ARE SOME OF THEM:

-less expensive than buying a new home

-Increased property value

-keep family members together in their own  space such as elderly parents, to avoid moving into assisted living or bringing adult children home to reduce extra expenses 

-additional rental income for the property owner

-can provide affordable housing for renters 

-can be used for a variety of purposes, such as a home office, art studio, or guest house

-help alleviate the California's housing shortage

Budgeting for a home remodeling project can be a crucial step in ensuring that your financial goals stay intact. The cost of a home remodeling project can vary depending on several factors, including the scope of work, materials used, and the size of your home, the lot condition, etc. Remember every remodeling project is unique.

To create a more accurate budget for your home remodeling project, we recommend following these steps:

1. PICK YOUR PROJECTS: Start by identifying which areas of your home you want to remodel. Prioritize projects based on their importance to you and potential return on investment. Ask yourself questions like: Where do you spend the most time? Where do you like to relax? Are the children growing out of their space?

Adding a room to your home can be an excellent way to increase its value and functionality. According to industry experts, home additions typically add value to your home, depending on the project and comparable homes in your area. However, it’s important to keep in mind that the amount of value added can vary based on several factors.

Here are some key factors that can influence the value added by a room addition:

1. TYPE OF ADDITION: The type of addition you choose can impact the value added. For instance, adding a bathroom or bedroom can increase your home’s value more than adding a sunroom or home office.

2. SIZE OF ADDITION: The size of the addition is another crucial factor that can impact its value. Larger additions tend to add more value than smaller ones.

3. LOCATION: The location of your home is another critical factor that can impact the value added by a room addition. Check with a realtor if you want some real-time statistics for your area.

4. MARKET CONDITIONS: Market conditions such as supply and demand, interest rates, and economic trends can also impact the value added by a room addition. Bergstrom Construction can help guide you in determining the current market conditions. While it’s difficult to provide an exact figure without knowing the specifics of your project, adding a room to your home can be an excellent investment that adds both functionality and value.
