What an Attached ADU Actually Is
An attached ADU connects directly to your existing home. It shares at least one wall with your house, which is exactly why it costs less and builds faster than a detached unit. You might be converting your garage, adding onto the side of your home, or finishing that basement that’s been sitting empty for years.
These units work especially well if you’re dealing with a smaller lot, tighter budget, or need easy access between your main home and the new space. Think aging parents who need to be close but want their own kitchen and bathroom. Or adult kids who aren’t quite ready to buy but need more than a bedroom.
In Contra Costa and Alameda Counties, your attached ADU can be up to 1,200 square feet or 50% of your primary home’s size—whichever is less. That’s enough space for a full one-bedroom unit with everything someone needs to live independently.
What You Actually Get From This
The Real Reason This Saves You Money
Attached secondary units are more affordable because you aren’t starting from scratch. Your house already features a foundation, a roof, and essential utility lines. When we construct your attached suite, we connect to systems that are already in place instead of digging up your yard to install new plumbing and power. That saves you a massive amount of resources compared to building a standalone cottage. We aren’t skipping steps or sacrificing quality. We are simply avoiding the need to pay for things you already own. You get the same premium materials, the same rigorous building standards, and the same official permits—just a more efficient use of your current home.
Another big advantage is the timeline. Attached suites are finished more quickly because we are working within an existing structural shell. Faster building means lower labor requirements and less time spent on site expenses like equipment rentals and project management. You also begin producing rental revenue or providing a home for your family months sooner than you would with a separate build.
We Handle the Permitting Nightmare
Permitting is where most ADU projects stall. Contra Costa and Alameda Counties each have their own requirements on top of California state law, and if you submit incomplete plans, you’re looking at months of back-and-forth revisions.
We manage the entire permit process. That includes site plans, fire-rated separation details, Title 24 energy calculations, and structural engineering stamps. We know which departments to contact, what documentation they actually want to see, and how to respond when they inevitably ask for clarifications.
You’ll also need fire-rated walls and ceilings between your ADU and the main house—that’s non-negotiable. If you’re converting an attic or basement, expect upgrades to insulation, moisture barriers, and ventilation to meet current code. We factor all of that into your estimate upfront so there are no surprises three months into construction.
