That's a good size ADU! Great job Hektor, I love watching your videos. HGTV is off their game for not getting you a show! Much success to you.

[mupals]

So much information in this video. Thank you Hektor

[vinhtraninc]

[troycantrell]

you do a good job explaining it, and getting better.Its a honest evaluation of what it takes, couple things may very but overall a good informative video.

Great video. I just finished a one car garage 252 ft sq. ADU in LA city. It took us 11 months. So much work, so much wait, so many requirements. We are finally done. I did it as builder owner with the initial help of an ex colleague who makes plans and does construction. I had to finish the last 30% of the project as the cost started to creep up and the addition of a two meter electric panel system was required. My friend who helped me at first really increase the price of the electrical way too much. I went on my own and ended up adding the electric panels dor less.

Hi Hector, Great to see new videos. We are still waiting for the video of the Bifold Teza Doors Installed for you.

Can’t wait until you guys start doing some in the Bay Area. We plan to build an ADU but want to see what would be the best option, detached ADU or convert are whole above ground basement into an ADU.

My 740 sq ft 2 BR, 1 BA. After everything, my total cost is $200K. I am in Sacramento.

[CrackedWalnut]

I think you should get a gc license and do it by yourself. You have so much knowledge.

[velonza]

Great video! I learned so much from you.
How were you able to get a new built fire rated wall approved by the city? I was told that it’s only allowed if it’s an existing structure

[rommelmaldia]

We are 1 week into on our ADU construction process. I'd be open for you to document the progress and post here. We are in Long Beach.

[Outrayjes]

What is the distance between the perimeter wall and the ADU?

[pedroramires]

Great vedio bro is it the same as building a home. Was cheaper a house or a adu house

[MichaelChengSanJose]

$200/ft is really good. I’m lucky to build for $250/ft in the Bay Area as costs can easily climb to $300-350/ft.

[pushinlove]

This is built like a more expensive manufactured home. Are manufactured homes not allowed to be used as an ADU? Or is this strictly a deal where a built in place ADU will bring significant value to the property?

Great work all around for the build!

[bravooh]

but thanks for sharing... thinking about doing an ADU once day

[dbamk]

At 15:24 you say this is the closet for bedroom #1
I'm only seeing the bathroom and never bedroom #1
🤔😔
Thanks anyway for the informative videos.

Hi Hektor,
Would you say that the steps you provide here could also apply to a room addition ?

[KeanuValverde]

Wow this looks amazing what the name of the company who build this ADU?
