Types of ADUs We Build
Detached ADU
A fully separate structure built on the same lot as the primary residence — the most common and flexible ADU type in California.
Attached ADU
An addition connected to the main home, sharing at least one wall — ideal for lots with limited space or specific zoning requirements.
Garage Conversion ADU
Converting an existing attached or detached garage into a livable dwelling unit — often the most cost-effective ADU option.
Junior ADU (JADU)
A smaller unit (up to 500 sq ft) created within the existing footprint of the primary residence, with its own entrance and kitchenette.

ADU Construction FAQs
How much does it cost to build an ADU in Temecula?
ADU costs in Temecula typically range from $150,000 to $350,000+ depending on size, type, and finish level. We provide detailed estimates after a site assessment so you know exactly what to expect before committing.
How long does ADU construction take in Riverside County?
From permit approval to Certificate of Occupancy, most ADU projects take 4–8 months. Permitting alone can take 2–4 months depending on the jurisdiction, which is why we start that process early.
Do I need a permit to build an ADU in Temecula?
Yes — all ADUs require building permits. We handle the entire permitting process, including plan check submissions, inspections, and final Certificate of Occupancy.
Can I rent out my ADU in California?
Yes. California law allows ADUs to be rented out as long-term rentals. Short-term rental rules vary by city, so we recommend checking local ordinances before listing on platforms like Airbnb.
What is the maximum size for an ADU in California?
Detached ADUs can be up to 1,200 sq ft. Attached ADUs are limited to 50% of the primary dwelling's square footage, up to 1,200 sq ft. Junior ADUs (JADUs) are capped at 500 sq ft.
