ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT OPTIONS
CONVERT EXISTING SPACE
Converting underutilized space inside your home into an ADU is often the most cost-effective option. No new foundation, no major site work — just smart use of what you already have.
HOME ADDITION
When you need attached living space but don’t have existing square footage to convert, a home addition is the answer. We design and build additions to the side, rear, or above your existing structure.
DETACHED ADU
A free-standing structure separate from your primary home — the best option for maximizing privacy and rental income potential. Detached ADUs are now broadly permitted in Colorado Springs following the 2025 ordinance updates. HOA restrictions or specific overlay districts may apply — we’ll confirm your eligibility during your free consultation.
WHY BUILD AN ADU?
GENERATE PASSIVE INCOME & FINANCIAL FREEDOM
An ADU is one of the best returns on your existing property. Rent it short-term or long-term to generate consistent passive income and build long-term equity.
PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR LOVED ONES
Turn your existing garage into a fully functional ADU. Garage conversions are one of the fastest and most affordable ways to add a rentable or livable unit to your property.
AGE IN PLACE
If your home feels too large for your current needs, an ADU lets you downsize into your own backyard while keeping a rental unit or family space in the main home.
PROVIDE GUEST HOUSING
Give visiting family and friends a private, comfortable space that’s connected to your property but fully independent — no hotels, no crowded guest rooms.
