FAQ

What is an ADU and how can you help me build one?

An ADU, or Accessory Dwelling Unit, is also known as a tiny home, granny flat, in-law unit, or garage apartment. We help homeowners by providing expert guidance and tools to navigate the process of building an ADU, from zoning and permitting, to design and size considerations, to cost estimation, and through the construction process itself.

How can I determine if my local area allows for ADU construction?

Our services include assistance with zoning and permitting. We help you identify your property's specific zoning requirements and the necessary permits for ADU construction, ensuring your project stays compliant with local regulations.

What does the construction process for building an ADU look like?

We offer information and resources on the construction process, timelines, and best practices for building an ADU. Additionally, we have a network of trusted builders you can partner with to ensure a seamless, efficient, and high-quality build for your ADU.

What is included in your feasibility report for building an ADU?

With the Gather Feasibility Report, you can confidently embark on your ADU journey, knowing you've got a solid foundation and a clear roadmap to success.

We
   
1) Thoroughly analyze your property records for a tailored assessment,
     
2) Work with city and county authorities on your behalf for a hassle-free experience,        
3) Secure a preliminary "pre-approval" from city/county for your peace of mind,        
4) Deliver a comprehensive report document detailing your property's ADU possibilities.            

Do I have to commit to the entire ADU construction project right away?

No, it isn't required. GatherADU offers support at every step of the ADU process, allowing you to proceed without making an immediate full commitment. You have the flexibility to progress at your own pace and opt for pay-as-you-go.
