The most important steps for building an ADU…
We surveyed over 400 homeowners building their own ADUs to identify what matters most to them, and we discovered the most critical milestones to track toward.
In between each milestone, there are a few critical steps that we can help you with too.
It’s free to use, you’re more likely to finish on budget and on time, and you get two free gifts just for trying it out.
Get started with the first milestone and get your first gift today
The first milestone is very easy to complete and immediately qualifies you for your first free gift.
And, importantly, it will set you up for successfully moving toward the second and third milestones which are much more difficult.
And on the day you complete the third milestone, we’ll send a housewarming gift to the physical address of your ADU.
To get started, simply enter the email address and the street address where we’ll send the gifts:
What are the milestones?
Once you get started with the form above, we’ll send you details about all three milestones and the critical intermediary steps between each one.
The first milestone is about identifying your goals.
The second milestone is an important practical step of obtaining your permit.
The third milestone is getting your final inspection approved.
When you complete each milestone, we’ll send you information about the intermediary steps like budgets, designs, permit applications, financing and more.
Even when you’re done with the third milestone, we have free advice about how to find good renters, how to furnish the space, how to maintain good neighbors.
Building an Accessory Dwelling Unit is a long journey and we look forward to helping you along that path.
What are the gifts?
The first gift is a step by step guide to building an ADU that explains the major milestones, and some intermediary steps.
And it comes with a bundle of coupons and promo codes that can save you hundreds of dollars on the types of services that come up most frequently during ADU projects.
The second gift is a physical gift that we’ll ship to your street address when we verify that you finished your project. It’s a surprise because housewarming gifts are more fun when they’re surprises!
If you really want a hint… I can tell you it’s got a retail value over $20, it’s something that everybody with a front door can use, and if you don’t personally love the style then you can use it at the backdoor. And if you don’t want this gift because you’re into minimalism or dislike surprises, email hello@how-to-adu.com and we can look into arranging something else for you.
Why does How To ADU do this for free?
The honest truth is that you’re going to spend a fair amount of money building your Accessory Dwelling Unit.
We try to offer as many free services as possible to help you complete your goal because we want to earn your business for the parts that cannot be free.
Our mission is to solve the housing shortage by helping over 100,000 Californian homeowners build ADUs. Many homeowners will take advantage of our free services without paying us a dime, and that’s completely okay with us as long as we’re moving toward a future where more homeowners feel secure in their own homes, and a future where there is housing available for the people who live and work in our communities.
