Modular ADUs in San Diego offer a streamlined and fast construction process for homeowners to get ADUs.
Modular ADUs have several benefits over traditional construction processes, such as a shorter timeline, minimized waste, and resource optimization.
Modular ADUs are built using the modular construction technique. A modular ADU is a self-contained accessory unit designed and built off-site in a factory premise and then transported to your property for installation.
Modular construction involves prefabricated modules, which are assembled and finished in the factory. Such modules are built using high-quality materials and comply with the building codes and requirements.
Modular ADUS can include walls (panels), floors, ceilings, doors, windows, plumbing, electrical wiring, and interior finishes.
After assembly completion, the modules are transported to the property they are being installed on and are fixed on a permanent foundation. Then, the modules are secured together to create a complete living space. Utility connections are made as the modules are secured together.
Modular ADUs are available in different sizes, designs, and plans to suit different needs and preferences. They can be customized to match your existing architecture or to have a distinct appearance.
Our experience as San Diego attached ADU construction experts we will help you experience the benefits of modular units compared to traditional ADU construction methods. Some of them are:
| Speedy Construction | We carry out site preparation simultaneously with the modular construction in the factory. This parallel process reduces the construction timeline significantly. |
| Versatility | Modular ADUs can serve different purposes and accommodate various lifestyles. Their versatility allows you to adapt the space to changing needs over time. |
| Sustainability | Modular construction is environmentally friendly as the controlled manufacturing process reduces waste produced and promotes efficient use of resources |
| Quality Control | The modules are inspected during every design and construction stage to ensure compliance with the building codes and regulations. |
| Flexibility and Customization | Modular ADUs can be tailored to meet specific needs, preferences, and site constraints. |
Our design process at ADU Contractors typically follows the following steps:
Like traditional ADUs, modular ADUs require permits and inspection during different stages to ensure adherence to the local building codes and regulations.
Our professionals will clear the area, level the ground, ensure proper drainage, and plan for the utility connections in preparation for installing your modular ADU.
Modular ADUs must be set up on a strong foundation to ensure the stability and structural integrity of the structure. The site characteristics and local building codes will influence the type of foundation we choose.
We must plan and implement measures for proper transport logistics, including the required permits and well-coordinated road access. The installation will involve craning or laying the modules on the foundation and securing them to complete your ADU structure.
Our engineers will evaluate and verify the modules’ structural integrity, including the walls, roofs, and floor, to ensure that the modular ADU will withstand local weather conditions.
Modular ADUs must also be connected to plumbing and electrical systems. Proper coordination and installation of these systems will ensure maximum functionality and compliance with building codes.
We will still need to do interior finishes after installing the modular unit on your property. These finishes will typically include the installation of flooring, wall finishes, cabinetry, appliances, fixtures, and other interior elements.
After installation, our professionals will complete the final utility connections to water, sewer, and electricity systems. We will coordinate with utility providers to ensure proper connections and compliance with local regulations.
As modular ADU designers and contractors in San Diego, we oversee every step of quality control, such as factory and on-site inspections throughout the entire process. This ensures proper installation and compliance with the building codes.
