Builder markup on an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is typically 20% to 25%. When you eliminate the general contractor, you’ll save all that money and create instant equity. 25% savings on a $200,000 ADU is $62,500!
The key to savings is to take control of the project and manage it yourself. With UBuildIt’s expertise and assistance, you’ll have complete control over design, bidding, material selection, subcontractor selection, quality assurance, and more. You’ll get exactly what you want, when you want it.
UBuildIt has the experience and expertise to help you get the job done right, on time, and on budget. We’ll guide you every step of the way through design, planning, subcontractor selection, permitting, managing the budget, site visits/inspections, and more.
Build your ADU your way — you can do whatever you want when you manage the project yourself! You’ll enjoy controlling every aspect of your project, including: careful selection of subcontractors, choosing the exact materials you want, checkbook control (no one gets paid until you pay them!), and much more.
Imagine how you’re going to feel after completing your beautiful ADU on your terms. And imagine how the person living there will feel! Or walking into your completed remodel. It’s special —after all, it is YOUR creation. You dreamed it up. You designed it. You planned it. You chose the materials and contractors. Enjoy it!
When you’re saving money by building your own ADU, you can afford to spend more on upgrades. With that additional cash, you can make your ADU a truly special and inviting space for your guest, tenant, or family member.
Getting the job done right starts with detailed planning of the project. We’ll sit down with you to determine your financing options and define your budget. Then we’ll help with every key step: design, bidding, material selection, subcontractor selection, quality assurance, and more.
We’ve all heard the horror stories of construction projects that dragged on way too long. While some delays are unavoidable (bad weather, subcontractor emergencies, etc.), the fact is most building delays are due to poor planning, lack of coordination, and lack of accountability. With a UBuildIt construction consultant on your team, these kinds of problems are greatly reduced.
When you work with a UBuildIt construction consultant, you can be confident that your ADU will come in very close to the original budget. We “know the ropes” and can guide you to every cost saving available, including things like designing with budget firmly in mind, discounts on materials from supply partners, minimizing typical mistakes, and much more.
