The floor plan was designed by the architecture group, not the builder. Designer is Victor Gutierrez of Metro D&C Group.

@@Maxable ...I would love to find out who built this! Do you know the builder and in what state is this located?

@@MarcyRoney Hi Marcy, this ADU was built in the San Diego area in 2020 by DS Construction

You'll need a primary home (or at least a proposed primary home) in order to be able to build an ADU on your property.

Yes, this ADU was built in Southern California!

@@Maxable Sweet Im in Fresno so was now looking into these ADU rules thx

What substance are you looking for? We'll include it in our next video!

Great to hear it! In that case we've got good news for you - stay tuned! This is only step 3 out of 10!

Nope! All of the ADU regulations we discuss video apply to California, however other states are adopting many similar regulations. Either way, this video talks about the right process for building an ADU - this process is consistent in most places!

Woah you had us there for a sec, thanks for sharing!

Stay tuned, that video should be coming up once we finish with our Step By Step Guide to Building an ADU! In the meantime, here's an article our friends wrote on the topic: www.greatbuildz.com/blog/unpermitted-los-angeles-garage-conversion/

Great idea, we support it!

To clarify, SB9 was recently deemed unconstitutional and has been struck down in 5 SoCal cities: Redondo Beach, Whittier, Carson, Del Mar and Torrance. Only time will tell the future of SB9... do you think other CA cities will follow suit?

@@Maxable I didn't look into the techincality about why charter cities get to challenge the law while others do not, but I'm sure this will not be the last time the issue comes up. I would expect that at some point the SCOTUS will need to rule on states stripping away zoning authority from local goverments under the pretense of affordability. There is also challenging of the punishment the state can levy on local goverments as that can also be rather limited. In the end, what if a town simply ignores the state? can you jail a town, fine it, force people out of single family homes? I smell lawsuits. time will tell, but the current convervative SCOTUS may not be too welcoming of what's essentially coerced re-zoning.

Thanks for watching!

We think so too, thanks!

The 'we' here is referring to the team our client used to build his ADU. Impressive project your dad did, but hey, no need to be rude!

Building an ADU is essentially building a small house, so you're right - certainly not a simple process! But with the right team of experienced pros, you can get the project completed efficiently and effectively.

Thanks for the feedback!

This ADU is about 20 ft x 37 ft

This ADU is located in the Sacramento area and would cost around $200k-$250k to build

Thanks!

Thanks! It's a great idea for many homeowners :)

It'll depend on where your property is located, your site conditions, and goals for the space - this ADU was built in Northern California and cost around $200k to build. Your mileage may vary!

No slump test required for concrete with a compressive strength of 2500psi and below per LADBS

@@Maxable Just because it's not required doesn't mean we don't do it and make sure the concrete isn't a slurry mess that will fall apart in a few years.

ADU stands for Accessory Dwelling Unit, it is a secondary permanent dwelling unit built on a residential property.

You can see more photos of the ADU and learn more about the project here: maxablespace.com/san-diego-garage-conversion-expansion/

That would be a great question for a local contractor - reach out to our team via our website to get connected with qualified contractors for your project!

This ADU is 624 feet, roughly 31 ft x 20 ft

Some owners choose to hire a property manager that handles the entire experience, other owners choose to hire cleaners to handle the 'reset' of the Airbnb, and some save the money and do the clean-up themselves! Usually tenants are respectful of the space and clean up in a breeze...but there are always edge cases where unruly visitors cause a mess. Clean up aside, as long as you design your ADU with privacy in mind (taking sound attenuation measures, adding a privacy fence, etc), you won't even notice that you have strangers staying in your back/side yard!

This stunning ADU was a new construction, detached accessory dwelling unit. It was built in San Diego County in 2019 and cost about $135k from start to finish.

We typically avoid discussing costs in these videos because prices can vary significantly, based on both location and time of construction. This above garage ADU was built in San Diego county back in 2020, it cost roughly $275k to build from start to finish, including plans, permits, and construction!
