Recently, NEWSBREAK published an article about the journey of our co-founder, Precious Price, as she built an ADU in her backyard. Read the excerpt below and continue reading on the NEWSBREAK website.

Precious Price, a 26-year-old marketing strategist and social entrepreneur, found herself in a bind when her Airbnb bookings dried up, and she was left with a three-bedroom, 1,400-square-foot house in Atlanta, Georgia, that felt too big for her. As a solution, she decided to build a tiny home in her backyard to live in and fully rent out the main house. Here's how she did it.

Building a 'Luxury Tiny Home' Before building the home, Precious had to submit building, electrical, and plumbing permits to the city planning office. She then purchased a prefabricated shed structure from Liberty Storage Solutions and hired a local contracting team to pour a concrete slab foundation. Overall, it cost her around $35,000 to build the 296-square-foot tiny home, which includes labour and material costs.
