The cost to purchase and build an ADU is on average $150,000. A chance to save on homeowner's insurance premium is one of the most substantial benefits that homeowners can receive. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) estimated that a family with a disability and a caregiver would see their annual homeowners insurance premium increase from $2,400 to $3,800 without an ADU. With the help of the cost-saving measures and financial incentives of building an ADU, homeowners can save hundreds of dollars per month on their homeowner's insurance.
ADU Check's software allows homeowners to check the potential to build their own ADU in the backyard by using measurements and calculations from a 3D rendering. This augmented reality overlay is designed for anyone - making it simpler to find an estimation on a home’s potential, without needing to draw up blueprints or hire a contractor. When calculating if there is enough space available to convert your garage into an ADU, you can unleash that unused square footage by searching for floor area allowances through state regulations, municipal codes and zoning ordinances automatically inputted within the app.
ADU Check was founded with focus in Los Angeles,CA because of extreme shortage of affordable housing options available for lot line homes (a common Southern California building type) after the 2008 financial crisis.
