ADU Homes Construction & Remodeling in the Bay Area

An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) adds living space, rental income and long-term value to your property. Hydroworks Developers designs and builds detached ADUs, attached ADUs, garage conversions and junior ADUs (JADUs) for Bay Area homeowners. We manage the whole project, from site evaluation and plans to permits, utilities and final inspection.

Bay Area ADU projects involve more than framing a new structure. They need careful planning around setbacks, utility connections, fire and energy codes, and each city’s permit process. Our team handles that work in a clear, organized way, so you know your timeline, your budget and your next step. Whether you want a home for family, a rental unit or a private office, we build an ADU that is comfortable, efficient and compliant.

3 Simple Steps to Our ADU Building Process

Building an ADU can feel complex, but it doesn’t have to be. Our three-step process keeps your project organized, on budget and on schedule. From the first site visit to final inspection, we handle design, permits, utilities and construction in line with California ADU law and local city requirements.

We visit your property, review setbacks, utilities and zoning, and discuss your goals, budget and ADU type.

We prepare plans, submit permits and build the ADU with coordinated trades, regular updates and quality checks.

We complete city inspections, do a final walkthrough with you, and hand over your finished ADU.

Plan Your Project

    ADU costs depend on the unit's size, construction type, site conditions, utility connections, finishes, and permit requirements. A property assessment and defined project scope help establish a more accurate estimate.
    Most new ADU construction and conversions require applicable permits and must comply with relevant building and zoning regulations. Requirements vary by project and jurisdiction.
    A garage conversion may be possible depending on the property's conditions, applicable regulations, structural requirements, and utility needs. A site assessment can help determine the available options.
    The timeline varies with design complexity, permitting, site preparation, construction scope, inspections, and material availability. A project-specific schedule is more reliable than a general estimate.
