As a full service construction firm offering different residential and commercial construction services in Los Angeles and nearby areas, 360Builders has developed expertise in building Accessory Dwelling Units for multi-family buildings.

You might know of ADUs in the form of different namesakes: secondary dwelling unit, backyard cottage, backyard guesthouse, laneway home, sidekick home, mother-in-law apartment, in-law unit, in-law cottage, or granny flat. Whichever of these are familiar to you, they are all pertaining to the innovative yet affordable solution in creating an additional space in your home which is the ADU.

ADUs are considered affordable as compared to normal real estate as they do not need to spend additional expenses on land, structured parking, and elevators. Furthermore, ADUs can become the homeowners’ additional income stream by renting the space out.

Just recently in January 2020, the ADU Law for Multi-Family Buildings, allowing units to be added as ADUs and Junior ADUS (JADUs) to be built without applying for any local development standards, was launched. This new law applies to all the cities in the state of California.
