ADU stands for Accessory Dwelling Unit. These are secondary, independent living spaces located on a single-family home lot. They provide flexibility for homeowners, such as rental income or multigenerational living.
In Oregon, the maximum size for an ADU is generally tied to the size of the primary dwelling and lot. Many jurisdictions allow ADUs up to 800 square feet, but specific regulations can differ. It's essential to consult local planning departments for precise measurements applicable to your property.
Potential downsides include increased utility usage for the property, potential impacts on neighborhood character if not well-designed, and the initial investment cost. Careful planning and design can mitigate these concerns. We focus on creating ADUs that enhance, not detract from, your property.
The most cost-effective approach often involves utilizing existing structures like garages or basements. Prefabricated or modular ADUs can also offer savings through factory efficiencies. We can help you explore options that balance cost and quality for your South Carolina build.
South Carolina's humidity and heat require robust ventilation and moisture-resistant materials. Designs must account for potential hurricane impacts. Our ADUs are built with durability and comfort in mind for the local climate.
