Hello Mr. Alex: I enjoyed your presentation just now. Very nice work! I have a project coming up here in O.C. and owner wants to add ADU's to existing 8 unit apartments. Do you work on multifamily sites? John Valle, Architect

[@Baycitiesconstruction]

Hi John. Yes - we've worked on MF properties. Adding ADU's at apartment properties is very very new, and only a handful of firms have actually done it as of 2022. Feel free to reach out to our team anytime. Call us at 888.881.7355

Awesome video, answered so many questions! In your opinion, what’s the competitive advantage of a 650 qf, 1 bedroom ADU over a regular 1 bedroom house? Why would a renter go for an ADU if they could rent a 1 bedroom house for the same price? I’m thinking from an ADU planner’s perspective.

[@Baycitiesconstruction]

Good question ...the ADU will be newer, and will likely have newer finishes including new floors, new lighting fixtures, a new kitchen, new bath, separate meters, and possibly new AC. It can command higher rents (probably a few hundred dollars) if it's new build and has modern amenities.

Hi Brian 👋 thank you for reaching out on Instagram. Thanks for the follow

How do you separate utilities? Or does it get charged all to one person main house?

[@Baycitiesconstruction]

Depending on the municipality/size of the ADU, a separate address & separate water/gas/power meter might be required...

[@Elsalei914]

Amazon video!! I am wondering if you have an idea of how to charge tenants utilities if the ADU doesn’t have its own address? 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@Baycitiesconstruction]

We've built ADU's with their own electrical + gas meters, that way the tenant pays their own bill...

Awesome video 🏠 lots of insight and tips, I can definitely see people getting higher rents because of these tips

[@Baycitiesconstruction]

Thanks Bryan 💪 These tips will help you get a HIGHER RENT for your ADU!

What would you say a good size backyard for a detached ADU? is 37.5 X 47 to small? Not counting setbacks. So it would be even smaller.

[@Baycitiesconstruction]

The bigger the backyard, the better...

[@lovinglife3954]

What kind of difference do you see between 2020 and 2021? I keep hearing about rising construction costs.

[@Baycitiesconstruction]

Material prices, specifically lumber prices, have been volatile since summer 2020. Labor is pretty stable, but we've seen lumber prices rise every three weeks or so. www.cnbc.com/2021/02/10/lumber-prices-skyrocket-pushing-up-housing-costs.html

The square footage of a garage in the estimate of the footage of the home

[@Baycitiesconstruction]

🤔 Say what? Are you asking if the 'garage area' is part of the square footage?

[@traveler7249]

Can you add some interior photos of ADUs. Especially simple garage conversions. - Great videos.

[@Baycitiesconstruction]

Will do 👋they look like any other residence, just smaller lol

[@chinesegirl0711]

Will you work in Arcadia area ???

[@Baycitiesconstruction]

Hi Jane 👋 we'd love to learn more about your project. Call my team at 888-881-7355 or visit www.baycitiesconstruction.com/

[@scottc.6409]

Would love to hear your thoughts on building below grade if your city has a height limit of 16 feet. Also is it better to go 2 stories to keep the footprint smaller in a small yard.(see below comment) And how much does that normally increase the budget. Thanks! Great video as usual.

[@Baycitiesconstruction]

Hi Scott - "below grade" is not feasible (due to drainage issues and costly retaining walls) two story ADUs are allowed in certain neighborhoods but can be almost "twice" as expensive as attached/detached ADU, so it is out of budget for most homeowners... want to learn more?
