Chapter 6: Budgeting Your ADU Project

In the previous chapter, we talked about choosing the right ADU strategy based on your goals.

Some homeowners build ADUs for rental income, others for family housing, and some simply want to add flexibility and long-term value to their property.

In this chapter, we’ll walk through what typically influences ADU costs and how to begin building a realistic project budget.
