  • What is an ADU, and why are they becoming so popular in Boise?

    An ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) is a small, self-contained home built on the same property as an existing residence. They’re gaining popularity in Boise because they offer affordable housing options, increase property value, and provide flexible uses such as rental income, housing for family members, or a private home office.

  • How does the permitting and approval process work for an ADU or small home?

    The process involves city planning approvals, building permits, and utility coordination. Our team manages the entire process on your behalf, ensuring all codes and regulations are met so your project moves forward smoothly and without delays.

  • What makes smaller homes and ADUs more affordable and sustainable?

    Smaller homes use fewer materials, require less land, and are more energy-efficient than traditional houses. This means lower construction costs, reduced utility bills, and a smaller environmental footprint—all while providing comfortable, functional living spaces.

  • How long does it take to build an ADU from start to finish?

    Timelines vary by project, but most ADUs take between 4–8 months depending on size, design, and permitting. We provide a clear timeline before construction begins so you know what to expect.

  • Can an ADU increase the value of my property?

    Yes, adding an ADU can significantly boost property value. They provide additional living space and potential rental income, making your property more attractive to future buyers.

  • Do you help with the design process?

    Absolutely. Our team guides you through every step, from layout and architecture to utilities and finishes, ensuring your ADU or small home matches your vision and needs.

  • What types of utilities are required for an ADU?

    ADUs typically require connections for water, sewer, electricity, and sometimes gas. We handle the planning and coordination of these utilities to make the process seamless.

  • Are there zoning restrictions for ADUs in Boise and surrounding areas?

    Yes, local zoning laws can affect the size, placement, and use of ADUs. We stay up to date on all regulations and ensure your project complies with local requirements.

  • How do ADUs support affordable housing in our community?

    By offering smaller, more cost-effective living spaces, ADUs expand housing options for students, young professionals, retirees, and families in need of flexible housing solutions.
