Honest per-square-foot pricing that starts at $275/sq ft — no vague lump sums, no change-order surprises. Know your number before we build.
Financing available
Build now and pay over time. Our financing partners fund your ADU — often more than covered by the rental income it generates.

A licensed California builder carrying bonding and workers' comp. 600+ ADUs delivered across LA with a 5.0 rating.
One team, start to finish
Design, permits, financing, and construction all in-house — one contract and one point of contact from first call to keys.
Built for Los Angeles
We know LADBS and 40+ surrounding cities' rules cold, so your project moves fast and doesn't stall on red tape.
Proven, not promised
600+ completed ADUs you can actually walk through — real projects and real homeowners, not renderings.
One team, everything handled
Not a middleman — your builder.
Most homeowners piece together an architect, an engineer, a permit expediter, and a contractor — then referee the finger-pointing when something goes wrong. We do all of it, under one roof, on one contract.
Design
In-house architects and designers draw permit-ready plans tailored to your lot, goals, and budget.
Permits
We handle LADBS and your city's approvals end-to-end, so your build never stalls on red tape.
Financing
Financing partners help you build now and pay over time — no need to have the full cost up front.
Construction
Our licensed building crews deliver it — one team, one price, one point of contact to move-in.
Financing available
Build now, pay over time.
You don't need the full cost saved up. Our financing partners help LA homeowners fund their ADU and pay it back over time — often covered by the rental income the ADU generates. We'll walk you through the options on your free consultation.

What clients say
“They handled everything — design, permits, construction. Our detached ADU in Burbank went from lot survey to move-in-ready in under a year. We're already renting it out.”

Questions
ADU builder questions, answered.
Still have a question? Ask us during your free consultation.
Do you actually build the ADU, or just design it?
Both. ADU Resource Center is a full design-build ADU company — we handle design, permitting, financing, and construction under one roof with our own licensed crews and vetted building partners. You get one team and one point of contact from your first call to move-in, instead of juggling a separate architect, engineer, and contractor.
How much does it cost to build an ADU in Los Angeles?
We build at a flat construction rate starting at $275/sq ft (basic), $300 (mid-range), and $325 (luxury) — so a 600 sq ft mid-range ADU is around $180K in construction. Use our ADU cost calculator for your size and finish, or book a free consultation for an exact fixed price on your lot.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We work with financing partners so you can build your ADU now and pay over time — you don't need the full construction cost saved up front, and the payment is often more than covered by rental income. We'll walk you through the options on your free consultation.
How long does it take to build an ADU?
Design and permitting typically run 2–4 months, and construction another 4–8 months depending on scope — roughly 6–12 months from first call to move-in. Pre-approved and standard plans can shorten permitting significantly.
Will I know what's happening during the build?
Yes. You get a dedicated project manager and weekly updates throughout construction, so you always know exactly what stage you're in and what's next. No disappearing crews, no guessing.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — we're a licensed California contractor carrying bonding and workers' compensation insurance, with 600+ ADUs delivered and a 5.0 rating. You never have to worry about an unlicensed crew or chasing paperwork.
What areas do you build in?
We build across Los Angeles and the surrounding region — Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, the San Fernando and San Gabriel Valleys, Long Beach, and nearby Orange County. If you're in greater LA, we can almost certainly help.
