The #1 DADU Budget Mistake

Planning for the house price - not the total project cost. That $260K DADU price usually does not include everything your property needs. Below-the-surface costs can add $30K–$180K+ for utilities, excavation, drainage, access & site conditions.

FAQ

It depends on your lot size, zoning, and site conditions. A feasibility study confirms exactly what's possible for your specific property.

We evaluate zoning, market demand, rental income potential, construction costs, and expected ROI to give you a clear recommendation.

Rental income varies by neighborhood and unit size — our feasibility study includes a realistic income estimate for your property.

Typical timelines run 4-6 months for permitting and 5-6 months for construction, depending on project scope.

Long-term rentals are generally allowed. Short-term rentals (such as Airbnb) depend on Seattle city regulations, licensing, and zoning rules. We help you understand what's permitted for your specific property and location.

Could Your Property Be a Great DADU Investment?

Every successful DADU begins with understanding your property. Enter your details, and we'll review your property to help you understand the best next step.
