What is an ADU?

A compact second home on the property, built for family, guests, rental income, or flexibility.

An accessory dwelling unit can be detached from the main house, attached to it, or created from an existing part of the home. The value is simple: more usable living space without buying a new property.

ADU scope

Small footprint. Plenty of decisions.

The plan, structure, utilities, kitchen, bathroom, storage, cabinets, finishes, and inspection path all need to line up.

Detached ADU

  • Standalone backyard living unit
  • Good for privacy and rental potential
  • Requires careful utility and site planning

Attached ADU

  • Connected addition to the existing home
  • Useful for family or flexible living space
  • Must resolve access, fire separation, and layout flow

Conversion

  • Garage or existing space conversion
  • Often efficient when the structure is a good fit
  • Needs serious review before assuming savings

ADU process

Design and construction cannot be strangers.

The ADU has to be small, livable, approvable, and buildable. That is a tight box. FabuHome treats it like one.

  1. 01

    Property review

    Confirm site conditions, goals, utility questions, city path, and whether attached, detached, or conversion makes sense.

  2. 02

    Layout and budget

    Develop an efficient plan, such as a compact 1 bed / 1 bath layout, with budget and material choices in view.

  3. 03

    Permits and sourcing

    Prepare the design package for review while coordinating cabinets, fixtures, flooring, and major materials.

  4. 04

    Build and closeout

    Move through construction, inspections, punch list, and final handoff with fewer surprises.
