Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)

What is an ADU?

An accessory dwelling unit, usually called an ADU, is a secondary housing unit on a single-family residential lot. ADUs can be detached, an addition, or incorporated into a larger home design, and in most instances would be able to tie into the utilities of the existing home on the residential lot in question.

Ways to Use an ADU:

  • Make extra money with short- or long-term rentals
  • Create private space for a multigenerational household
  • Have a cozy little guest house
  • Expand your living space with an office, studio, or flex space
  • Rent out your main home and downsize to an ADU

About BrightBuilt ADUs

Financial Benefits of an ADU

Maximize your property value and leverage the equity you already have by expanding into your back- or side-yard. When you add an ADU, you get a brand new home and more square footage, without the hassle or expense of a major renovation.

When you build with BrightBuilt, you get a net-zero ready home, which means that with solar panels, it has the ability to produce as much energy as it consumes. This reduces monthly operating costs and allows you to save money over time.

Offsite Construction: How it Works

All BrightBuilt ADUs are constructed in a climate-controlled facility and delivered to the site mostly finished. In many cases, the builder needs just a few weeks to complete the home once it has been delivered. This means way less disruption compared to traditional onsite building methods, which is especially important when it's happening in your backyard.

Added Features & Benefits of a BrightBuilt ADU

All BrightBuilt ADUs are designed to be sustainable, comfortable, durable, and low-maintenance so you can enjoy your extra space with minimal upkeep.

Thoughtful architectural design ensures that every detail is considered so you can get the most from a small space.

Taken together, our unique design process and offsite construction methods deliver a better way to a better home.
