Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) in Los Angeles

Gordon Myers, General Contractor

At LA Construction Consultants, we help Los Angeles homeowners unlock the potential of their properties through high-quality Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) construction. Whether you’re looking to create rental income, add space for extended family, or boost your property’s long-term value, our team delivers expert guidance, planning, and execution every step of the way.

Why Build an ADU?

California’s housing crisis has sparked a wave of progressive legislation—like SB 1069 and AB 2299—designed to make it easier for homeowners to add secondary units to their existing properties. ADUs offer a smart, cost-effective way to:

  • Increase livable space
  • Generate passive income through rentals
  • Accommodate aging parents or adult children
  • Improve long-term property value

 

ADUs are fully independent living spaces that may include a bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. They can be garage conversions, attached or detached additions, or attic renovations.

Our ADU Construction Services

As licensed experts in ADU design and construction, we handle the entire process—from the initial site assessment to delivering a fully code-compliant, move-in ready unit.

What You Get with Our ADU Builds:

  • Permitted architectural blueprints
  • Complete construction build to code
  • Water, gas, sewer, and electrical upgrades
  • Separate HVAC system, water heater, and sub panel
  • Full kitchen and bathroom installation

 

We specialize in garage conversions—a popular choice in Los Angeles that utilizes existing space to reduce costs and streamline the permitting process.

JADUs (Junior Accessory Dwelling Units)

A Junior ADU (JADU) is a smaller, attached unit—up to 500 sq. ft.—that uses the existing home’s infrastructure for power, water, and HVAC. These are ideal for homeowners seeking a lower-cost expansion option that still provides functional, independent living space.

Updated ADU Laws (Effective 2020)

Recent updates to California law allow homeowners on single-family zoned lots to build both an ADU and a JADU. Additional benefits include:

  • Reduced or waived impact fees
  • Less restrictive parking requirements
  • Faster permitting and review processes

 

These updates reflect California’s push to increase housing density without requiring massive new developments.

Benefits of an ADU Investment

  • Adds resale value to your home immediately
  • Generates rental income to offset your mortgage
  • Multi-generational living with privacy and comfort
  • Optimized land use without the need to purchase new property
