At KMAC, we believe in a strategic approach to building Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). An ADU feasibility study is a crucial first step in determining whether your property is suitable for an ADU project.
Building an ADU involves various factors such as entry and exit points, minimum ceiling heights, zoning regulations, and more. A feasibility study provides a clear assessment of your property’s potential,
helping you make informed decisions before committing time and resources to the project.
This study identifies potential obstacles and challenges that may arise, offering a roadmap to ensure a successful ADU project.
If you’re confident that an ADU is right for you, you may wonder if a feasibility study is necessary. While not usually required by the city for permitting, conducting a
feasibility study is a wise investment. It helps prevent costly mistakes that could arise during construction and ensures long-term project success.
Our ADU feasibility study offers a thorough evaluation of your property to develop the best possible plan for your project. Key components include:
A detailed property evaluation assessing land topography, available space, and the best ADU placement for optimal functionality.
An analysis of existing electrical, water, and sewage connections to determine necessary upgrades for ADU integration.
A market analysis to estimate potential rental income from your ADU, helping you gauge its financial viability.
Our state-licensed architects provide a design concept that seamlessly integrates with your existing home, including renderings and layout plans.
Conducting an ADU feasibility study provides numerous advantages:
Gain clarity on the ADU type, size, and best location on your property.
Ensure your ADU optimally utilizes available space, whether as a rental unit or additional living area.
Identify code violations and steps required for legal compliance.
Address potential challenges before construction begins, saving time and money.
