Custom ADU Development Done Right

From design to permits to build, Builders Group and Design delivers accessory dwelling units homeowners trust.

What Is an ADU?

A Smart Way to Expand Your Property's Potential

An accessory dwelling unit, or ADU, is a fully independent secondary residence built on the same lot as your primary home — whether it's a detached backyard cottage, a garage conversion, or an attached suite. More homeowners are choosing to build an ADU because it delivers real, lasting value: additional income, flexible living arrangements, and a stronger property.

As a full-service general contractor, Builders Group and Design manages every stage of custom ADU development in-house — from initial design and engineering through permitting, construction, and final inspection. Homeowners work with a single, accountable team from start to finish, backed by our reputation for dependable craftsmanship and clear communication.

Rental Income Potential

A well-built ADU can generate steady rental income, helping homeowners offset their mortgage or build long-term wealth.

Multigenerational Living

Give aging parents or adult children a private, independent space while keeping family close.

Flexible Living Space

Use it as a home office, guest suite, or private studio — an ADU adapts as your household's needs change.

Increased Property Value

Adding livable square footage is one of the most reliable ways to grow the long-term value of your property.

Why Homeowners Trust Builders Group and Design for ADU Development

Single-Contractor Convenience

From initial design through final walkthrough, Builders Group and Design manages every phase of your ADU project under one roof. You get one point of contact, one accountable team, and no juggling between separate designers, permit expediters, and builders.

Permitting Expertise

ADU permitting can stall a project for months if it's handled by someone unfamiliar with local zoning and code requirements. Our team navigates the approval process daily, keeping your paperwork moving and your timeline on track.
