Accessory dwelling units are one of the smartest investments in Austin real estate right now. The City of Austin updated its ADU regulations to make it easier for homeowners to add secondary living units on their property, and the demand for rental housing in Central Austin, East Austin, and the surrounding suburbs means a well-built ADU can generate significant monthly rental income depending on location, size, and finish level. Whether you are converting an existing garage or building a new detached unit, we handle every phase of the project.
Garage conversions are the most cost-effective path to a livable ADU. The structure already exists, which means you save on foundation, framing, and roofing costs. Our team converts attached and detached garages into studios, one-bedrooms, and guest suites. The work includes insulation, drywall, flooring, a kitchenette or full kitchen, a bathroom with proper plumbing tie-ins, electrical upgrades for a separate living space, HVAC, and exterior finishing to match the main house.
For homeowners who want to keep their garage and still add an ADU, we also build detached accessory dwelling units from the ground up. Austin allows ADUs up to 1,100 square feet or 15% of the lot size (whichever is smaller) in most residential zones. We handle the full design, engineering, permitting, and construction process. Foundation options include slab-on-grade and pier-and-beam depending on site conditions and drainage.
Austin's ADU permitting process involves development review for setbacks, impervious cover calculations, tree preservation, and utility connections. If your lot backs up to an alley, the permitting path is often simpler. We have completed ADU projects across Austin zip codes including 78702, 78704, 78745, 78751, and 78757, and we know how the process works in each part of the city. Our project managers handle all permit applications and city inspector coordination so you can focus on your return on investment.
