Junior accessory dwelling unit (JADU)

Standard ADU/JADU plans VS Custom ADU/JADU Designs

There are two main types of ADUs: Standard ADUs and Custom ADUs.

Standard ADUs are pre-designed plans. These plans are typically less expensive and faster to build than custom ADUs.

Custom ADUs, on the other hand, are designed specifically for your property. While custom ADUs may be more expensive, they offer the advantage of being able to perfectly match your needs and preferences.

Which type of ADU is right for you? The answer depends on your budget, timeline, and specific needs.

If you are looking for a fast and affordable solution, a Standard ADU may be the right choice for you. However, if you want a more customized solution, a Custom ADU may be the better option.

No matter which type of ADU you choose, SNBM Design Studio can help you through the entire process, from feasibility studies to plan check submittals.

What is JADU?
Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs) are allowed to be created within the walls of a proposed or existing single-family residence and shall contain no more than 500 square feet. JADUs offer additional housing options. They may share central systems, contain a basic kitchen utilizing small plug-in appliances, may share a bathroom with the primary dwelling, all to reduce development costs. JADUs present no additional stress on utility services or infrastructure because they simply repurpose existing space within the residence and do not expand the dwellings planned occupancy.
