feasibility
Once we've confirmed you can have a H@H ADU, we conduct a formal Feasibility Study to determine utility and infrastructure requirements, giving you a clear idea of what you can build and the anticipated costs.
Our "Design - Permit - Build" process is
straightforward and efficient:
With Hiatus at Home, the team is with you at every step
build
You work directly with our designer and expert team to select a floorplan that best fits your needs and your property, choose your fixtures and finishes and then we personalize a site plan for your new H@H ADU.
With your personalized site plan and engineered floorplan in hand, we submit your project to the local jurisdiction for permitting. Once permits are approved, which typically takes 2-3 months, construction begins.
We'll introduce you to your Hiatus-Certified builder and begin construction on your Hiatus at Home ADU. Our ADUs are stick-built on your site and typically take about 4-6 months to complete.

Why choose hiatus at home?

Building an ADU requires adhering to local zoning laws, building codes, and obtaining the necessary permits. These regulations can vary widely by location - luckily, your Hiatus at Home ADU Specialist is here to help you navigate all of that! Send us a note or book a call to learn what options are available in your zoning jurisdiction.
What are the legal requirements and permits needed for an ADU?
The cost of building an ADU varies significantly based on size, location, and design choices. Additionally, every site will have varying permitting and infrastructure needs. Most of our clients spend between $150,000 and $300,000 for a new ADU.
How much does it cost to build an ADU?
Financing options for ADUs include home equity lines of credit (HELOC), cash-out refinancing, construction loans, and even some specialized ADU financing products. It's important to explore these options and get pre-approved to understand your borrowing capacity. We have an amazing network of preferred lenders that we work with and are happy to introduce you to the right team based on your unique scenario.
How do I finance the construction of an ADU?
Our average build time ranges from about 8 to 12 months, depending on local permitting timelines and the complexity of the site. This timeframe includes feasibility, planning, permitting, and construction phases.
How long does it take to build an ADU?
We love it and as small home developers and cottage community experts, these are the projects where our expertise really shines through! We will work with you to design an optimal site plan based on your local code requirements, the number of units you're looking to develop and your overall goals.
What if I want to add numerous ADUs to my property?
Absolutely. We have folks using Hiatus ADUs as both short-term and long term rentals commanding upwards of $25,000+ in passive income annually, which equates to a 12.5% cash-on-cash return.
Not interested in renting yours out? Our energy efficient designs perform 30% better than the HERS* reference ADU and over 40% better than prefab or modular units - saving you money on utility costs every month.
