Constructing an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) involves several critical steps to ensure compliance with local regulations and successful project completion. Initially, it's essential to verify your property's eligibility by consulting local zoning laws and building codes, as these dictate the feasibility and specific requirements for ADU construction.

Developing comprehensive design plans that align with these regulations is crucial; this includes adhering to size limitations and ensuring the design complements the existing structure. Securing the necessary permits from your local building department is a mandatory step before commencing construction.

Additionally, establishing a realistic budget that accounts for design, permits, construction, and potential unforeseen expenses is vital.
