With modular building, sections of the ADU are prefabricated off-site and then assembled on your property. This innovative approach ensures high quality while reducing waste and construction time.

1. Why Modular Construction?

Modular ADUs allow for consistent quality control and speed. These units are typically built in factory settings under controlled conditions, reducing delays caused by weather or material shortages.

2. Cost Efficiency

Since modular construction requires fewer on-site labor hours, it’s a budget-friendly option for homeowners. Additionally, waste is minimized, further saving costs and benefiting the environment.

3. Design Flexibility

While modular might sound uniform, the designs are far from cookie-cutter. Many manufacturers now offer customizable layouts, finishes, and exterior styles to match your primary residence.

4. Perfect for Tight Deadlines

Need an ADU up and running quickly? Modular units can be completed in as little as 8–12 weeks, making them an excellent choice for homeowners with time-sensitive projects.
