Accessory Dwelling Units
What is an ADU?
ADUs go by many names - granny flats, in-law units, backyard cottages, and more. But no matter what you call them, these nifty little spaces offer an innovative, affordable solution for adding much-needed housing in California. ADUs can take on different forms - some are perched above the garage, considered as a JADU, as well as cleverly attached to the main residence - adding a touch of creativity and versatility to this housing option.
What are the benefits of an ADU?
Building an ADU brings financial benefits by generating rental income and offering flexible living arrangements. It addresses housing shortages and promotes sustainable urban growth, providing more housing options and fostering an inclusive community. Additionally, ADUs offer a smart investment opportunity by adding value to your property and increasing its overall market appeal.
What floor plans are available?
With BLC, clients have the flexibility to tailor their ADU to perfection. You have the option to collaborate with an architect and create a fully custom floorplan, ensuring every detail reflects your vision and needs. Alternatively, for a more streamlined process, you can choose from our selection of pre-designed ADU plans, which come with various layout options and design styles.
