What Is An ADU Or Accessory Dwelling Unit?

Accessory dwelling units, often called ADUs, are a great way to add more living space to your home without having to go through the hassle and expense of a full-blown remodel. 

Basically, an ADU is a self-contained unit that is attached to, or located on the same property as, your home.

Garage conversions are one of the most popular types of ADUs. 

Converting your garage into a living space can provide you with extra room for a bedroom, office, studio or even a small apartment.

What To Consider When Converting A Garage Into An ADU

When converting a garage into an ADU, you will want to take a number of things into consideration. 

For starters, what are your plans for the ADU, will it be used as a home office, guest room, studio space, or something else?

You will also need to think about the layout and design of the ADU, and whether it will have its own entrance or be accessed through the main house. 

You will also need to get permits and approvals from your city or municipality, as well as ensure that the conversion meets all zoning and building codes.

Different Types Of Garage Conversions

There are several different types of garage conversions to choose from, depending on your needs and preferences. 

The most popular type is a flat roof conversion, which involves replacing the existing roof with a flat one and adding insulation to make the space more comfortable. 

You can also opt for a hip-to-gable conversion, where the angled roof of the garage is replaced with an extended hip section that creates more headroom for the space below.

If you plan to use your conversion as living accommodation, you could explore building a dormer extension on the side of your garage for additional headroom and light. 

If you would like to use the space as a home office or workshop, there are lots of different options available from flooring to walls and partitions. 

Whatever type of conversion you decide on, our experienced team can help you create a functional and stylish space that perfectly suits your needs.
