Austin's Full-Service ADU Construction Specialists
An ADU is not just a structure — it's a financial asset. Whether you're housing family, generating rental income, or building for future resale value, our full-service ADU construction handles everything from site visit to Certificate of Occupancy.
Austin is one of the most ADU-friendly cities in Texas. The HOME Initiative expanded eligible zones, reduced minimum lot sizes to 2,500 sq ft, and now permits up to two ADUs per residential lot. Our team has navigated Austin Development Services' permitting process for dozens of ADU projects across Travis County — we know exactly how to avoid the delays that trip up less experienced contractors.
Our ADU Construction Service is the full-turnkey program: feasibility, design, engineering, permits, foundation ( concrete pouring ), framing, MEP, interior finish, and final inspection — all under one contract. Post-completion, many clients refresh their main home with a kitchen upgrade or a new patio connecting the two structures beautifully.
Our End-to-End ADU Construction Process
Free Feasibility Assessment
We evaluate your lot's zoning, impervious cover budget, setbacks, heritage trees, and utility infrastructure before any design work begins.
Architectural Design & Engineering
Custom floor plans, 3D renderings, and structural engineering stamps — designed for Austin's code and your specific lifestyle needs.
City of Austin Permitting
Full permit package submitted through Austin Development Services. We track all reviews and respond to revision requests on your behalf.
Site Work & Foundation
Utility coordination, site prep, and concrete slab or pier-and-beam foundation engineered for Austin's clay soil conditions.
Construction & Interior Finish
Framing, roofing, MEP rough-in, insulation, drywall, cabinetry, flooring, fixtures, and all interior finishes to your specification.
Inspections & Certificate of Occupancy
We coordinate all city inspections and obtain your CO — the legal document required to rent your ADU or obtain homeowner's insurance coverage.
What Kind of ADU Is Right for You?
Detached Backyard Cottage
A fully separate structure in your backyard — the most private and most rentable ADU type in Austin. Requires 10 ft setback from main home.
Attached ADU
Shares a wall with the primary home — cost-effective because it shares structural systems. Ideal for in-law suites and multigenerational living.
Garage Conversion
Converting a detached garage into habitable ADU space — one of the most cost-effective paths ($50K–$100K) since the footprint already exists.
Garage Apartment (Above)
New living space above a detached garage — a true separate apartment with its own entry, kitchen, and bath. Popular in Hyde Park and Central Austin.
Studio ADU
Compact 400–600 sq ft studios optimized for rental income. Open floor plans, full bath, and kitchenette — highly rentable in Austin's urban core.
1–2 Bedroom ADU
Larger ADUs up to 1,100 sq ft — ideal for long-term tenants or aging-in-place parents who want independence with proximity to family.
