A Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU) is housing where multiple units are contained within a single structure. These can also be called multiple-unit dwellings or multifamily developments.
Partnering with ADU Geeks to build an MDU means enhancing your real estate portfolio, elevating your neighborhood, and unlocking valuable investment opportunities. Examples of MDUs we've planned and designed include:
Initial site visit and review of existing utility conditions.
811 Dig Alert submittal for underground gas and electric services if needed.
Recommendation for panel or gas meter placement to meet utility standards.
Preparation and submittal of SDG&E new service application.
Utility design review for conformance and accuracy.
Estimated utility timelines and construction dates coordination.
Trenching and inspection scheduling with the construction team.
Service connection completion and power is energized.

Building an ADU can be life-changing; make sure you start the process with an accurate understanding of what to expect.
Our feasibility study provides options for your property, setting expectations and creating a smooth transition into the design phase. We gather all of the necessary information before anything is set in stone, avoiding last-minute calls of “Can I even place an ADU there?” or “Wait- is this even in budget?”
Our team comprises seasoned investors and developers who have faced the challenges of property development and emerged successfully. We’ve learned from our experiences and use that knowledge to guide you through your project.
With our expertise, you’ll navigate the journey with confidence. Ready to get started?
A Pre-fabricated ADU is built off-site in a factory, then delivered and installed in your backyard. Prefab ADUs use streamlined, factory-controlled construction, standardized designs, and reduced on-site labor.
The estimated timeline to build a Pre-Fab ADU is ~3-4 weeks after permitting compared to an estimated timeline of 2-3 months for a traditional single-story ADU
Prefab ADUs cost roughly 25-36% less per sqft than stick builds for material and labor costs
Factory production optimizes materials, reducing excess waste
Our Prefabs are federally certified by HUD so you can bypass state energy requirements for faster approvals.
Most of the work happens off-site, which means less noise, mess, and inconvenience at your property.
Using repeatable processes and skilled teams, we deliver consistent craftsmanship and quality
Our floor plans are fully customizable to fit your style, space requirements, and goals. Explore some of our favorite ADU floor plans or create one from scratch with your design team.
We'll help determine the best ADU plan for your property, budget, and goals, covering placement, size, bed/bath count, and number of ADUs. All options will comply with state and local regulations, so you can rest easy!
Our report breaks down any potential costs, fees, and income possibilities so you know what to expect for your ADU buildout.
We conduct research to estimate your potential ROI and cash flow based on area market rent and cost estimates.
Our extensive experience with planning ADUs enables us to offer you a projected timeline for planning, obtaining permits, and construction, helping you enjoy a stress-free process.
We gather the zoning information and site-specific details of the property, then use that information to craft viable options based on regulations and constraints your city, county, and state impose.
It’s time to get excited about your future ADU! We put together a preliminary site map that shows potential placements and layouts.
