Cost depends on square footage, whether it's detached or an attached/garage conversion, foundation type, and how far utilities must run from the main house. Site conditions like grading, tree removal, and septic versus sewer connections also matter, as do finish selections. We provide a detailed written estimate after reviewing your property and design goals.
Timelines vary by project scope. Design and permitting typically take several weeks to a few months depending on county review times, and construction follows once approvals are issued. Weather, material lead times, and inspection scheduling can shift the schedule. We give you a projected timeline before breaking ground and update you as each phase is completed.
Yes, ADUs require permits and must meet local zoning and building code requirements. We prepare and submit the permit applications, coordinate with Wake or Johnston County officials, and schedule the required inspections. You won't need to chase down paperwork or interpret setback, lot coverage, and utility rules on your own.
We handle design consultation, permitting, site prep, foundation, framing, roofing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, drywall, flooring, cabinetry, fixtures, and final inspections. You'll have a complete, code-compliant living unit with kitchen and bath. We'll clarify in writing what's included and what's excluded, such as landscaping or driveway extensions, before work begins.
Often, yes. Conversions can reduce costs since the structure and foundation already exist, but they still require permits, proper egress, insulation, and separate utility considerations. We assess ceiling heights, moisture issues, and electrical capacity first, then recommend whether a conversion or a new detached build makes more sense for your property.
In most cases, yes, especially with detached units. You may experience temporary noise, equipment traffic, and short utility interruptions when connections are made. We keep the work area contained, communicate scheduled disruptions in advance, and clean the site regularly so your daily routine is affected as little as possible.
