The options for your ADU building will depend on the limitations of your property and the unique ordinances for your local jurisdiction. Even if you choose pre-approved ADU plans for San Diego, you’ll still need to do more than choosing a plan to obtain the right permits and customize the plans to your property.
Generally speaking, there are four options for an ADU building. First, there is the classic detached accessory dwelling unit, which can go up to 1,200 square feet. Second, there’s the attached ADU, which can measure to 50% the size of your existing home’s square footage. Third, there’s the garage-converted ADU, which can be a faster value-add for your home. Lastly, you can add or convert a second story or basement into an ADU.
We highly recommend doing a feasibility study with us before jumping into an ADU project.
