Common Questions

ADU Buildings FAQ

An ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) is a secondary residential unit built on the same lot as a primary home. Also called granny flats, in-law suites, or backyard cottages, ADUs have their own kitchen, bathroom, and entrance. California law allows most single-family homeowners to build an ADU on their property.
ADU construction costs in Madera typically range from $150,000 to $350,000 depending on size, finishes, and whether it is attached or detached. A 400 square foot studio ADU starts around $150,000, while a 1,200 square foot two-bedroom unit can reach $300,000 to $350,000. Contact Res-Comm Madera for a detailed estimate.
You need a building permit from your local jurisdiction. California state law streamlines ADU permitting and limits the fees cities can charge. The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) provides guidelines that local jurisdictions must follow. Res-Comm Madera handles all permit filing and inspections.
Under California law, detached ADUs can be up to 1,200 square feet. Attached ADUs are limited to 50% of the primary home's floor area or 1,200 square feet, whichever is less. Junior ADUs (converted from existing space within the home) are limited to 500 square feet. Local regulations may have additional requirements.
Most ADU projects take 6 to 10 months from permit filing to move-in. The permitting process takes 4 to 8 weeks, and construction typically takes 4 to 6 months depending on size and complexity. We keep you updated at every milestone throughout the process.
