About Us

Helping Homeowners Plan ADUs With Clarity

ADU Costs helps homeowners plan accessory dwelling units from the ground up - from understanding what shapes a project’s cost to connecting with vetted local professionals who can build it.

How Our Network Works

We’re an independent marketing and referral platform - not a contractor. When you reach out, we learn about your property, your goals, and the kind of ADU you’re considering. Then we match you with independent professionals in our network who handle design, permitting, and construction.

You receive a free, no-obligation quote and work directly with the pro you choose. Our role is to make the first step simpler and to help you understand the factors behind your project, so you can move forward with confidence.
