The Same Benefits of an ADU in a Smaller Footprint

If you want the benefits of an ADU but are limited on space, a Junior ADU is the right fit for your property. Convert your garage or another area of your home into a small dwelling unit to provide the independence and privacy of an ADU.

Think of a Junior ADU as a studio or one-bedroom apartment. The size and layout of a Junior ADU are perfect for an older relative, a home office, or a space for weekend guests. Find out below what you can expect to be included in a Garage Conversion or a Junior ADU.

Our Design-Build Process

01 | PLAN
ADUs by Avatar begins with a phone call to discuss your project and budget, leading to a preliminary estimate. We then offer a rough estimate, outlining our process and ADU costs. A site visit for a Feasibility Study follows, assessing your property and refining the estimate to match your goals.
02 | DESIGN
In the design phase at ADUs by Avatar, we tailor a floor plan to your goals, providing a Construction Estimate for budget finalization. Post-approval, we prepare detailed architectural drawings for permits and assist in selecting finishes, ensuring your project remains on budget.
03 | BUILD
Our in-house team handles permits, ensuring safety and compliance. We then develop a detailed construction schedule in our online portal. Construction begins! All updates will be communicated through the portal. After completion, we'll do a thorough walk-through to ensure your ADU is perfect. Congrats on your new ADU!
