Custom ADU Construction

JCS construction can bring the creative expertise and construction experience needed to create the perfect ADU. An ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) is fully livable and contains a kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, living area, and more. An ADU can also be designed to be a space for a in-home business such as a hair salon, massage business, meeting space, artist studio, etc.

Types of ADU projects:

  • Create a structure from the ground up
  • Create an ADU as an addition to an existing structure
  • Create an ADU by remodeling an interior space
  • Create an ADU within a Pole Building or Shop building

Attention to Detail

The creation of an ADU within an old structure or a pole building can require special experitise and care, as often these structures will not be “square”.

What is an ADU?

An accessory dwelling unit, usually just called an ADU, is a secondary housing unit on a single-family residential lot. The term “accessory dwelling unit” might sound institutional, but it’s the most commonly-used term across the country to describe this type of housing. Recently, Oregon has had new laws concerning ADU construction and we have built a lot of ADU projects for clients recently in Oregon.

ADUs are defined by the fact that they’re a type of housing unit—NOT a standardized structural form. When learning about a new design concept like an ADU, it’s natural to want to know exactly what that concept looks like in the flesh. However, ADUs vary in their physical form quite a bit. We want to embed the ADU design concept in or brains as a tangible object that we can mentally reference. Let’s broaden that mental model by exploring and understanding the range of common ADU types.

ADUs come in a variety of forms: detached new construction, garage conversion, bump-out, basement conversion, and more.
1) Detached new construction ADUs, also called backyard cottages, granny flats, laneway houses, or DADUs, depending on the jurisdiction. This type of ADU is construction on the lot of a single family home, often in the back or side yard.
