THE POSSIBILITIES
What Are Accessory Dwelling Units?
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are self-contained living spaces located on the same property as a primary residence. These units require additional permitting.
ADUs can take various forms, but all offer homeowners the flexibility to accommodate additional living space. Some of these are the most popular forms of Accessory Dwelling Units in Scottsdale, AZ.
Guest House
A guest house is a separate living space on the property designed to accommodate guests, relatives, or renters. It typically includes a bedroom, bathroom, and living area, providing privacy and comfort for visitors.
Pool House
A pool house is a standalone structure near a pool area, offering amenities such as changing rooms, bathrooms, lounging areas, and sometimes a kitchenette. It serves as a convenient and luxurious space for relaxation and entertainment.
Workout Room
This ADU is a dedicated space equipped with exercise equipment, mirrors, and possibly a small bathroom or shower. It allows homeowners to have a convenient and private area for fitness activities without leaving the property.
Detached Garage
Studio Apartment
This is a versatile, self-contained living space above or beside a standalone garage. It features a compact kitchen, bathroom, and open living/sleeping area, offering privacy and convenience, ideal for guests or extended family.
Workspace
This is a separate structure or converted space dedicated to work or hobbies. It may include features such as a desk, shelving, ample natural light, and connectivity for electronics, providing a quiet and productive environment for remote work or artistic pursuits.
Our Process of Building ADUs
Building an Accessory Dwelling Unit involves several steps, each crucial for ensuring a
successful and compliant construction process.
01
Discovering Eligibility
The first step is to find out if your property qualifies for an ADU. Since ADUs require additional permitting, it's important to contact your city or county planning department to find out if you can add to your property and any requirements. They may have maximum square footage or additional requirements that will influence the project.
02
Consultation
This is where you can begin working with our team using satellite imaging to view your property, conduct a quick feasibility analysis, and go over the size, layout, and functionality of your available space.
03
Design
Ensuring compliance with local regulations, you'll work alongside our team of architects and designers to create plans for your ADU. Consider the size, layout, and functionality based on your needs and the available space.
04
Obtaining Permits
Once we have the design finalized, we will work with your local municipality to obtain all the necessary permits. This can take some time to get approval. Every location is different, but we plan for 10-16 weeks before we receive approval.
05
Construction
We use our time wisely so that as soon as we have the permit in hand, we can begin construction. We manage all subcontractors and scheduling of inspections so you can enjoy your new space as soon as possible.
Benefits of Including ADUs on Your Property
ADUs provide a range of benefits in a variety of areas:
Rental Income
When your ADU isn't being used, renting it out can provide a steady stream of income for homeowners, helping to offset mortgage costs or other expenses.
Increased Property Value
Properties with ADUs typically command higher resale values due to the added living space, potential rental income, or multigenerational living options for buyers.

What is the smallest ADU you can build?
To give you a general idea, a tiny ADU could be as small as 150 square feet or even less. This would likely consist of a single room with a compact kitchenette and bathroom facilities.
-
How close can the accessory dwelling unit be to the existing home?
In Arizona, ADU must be 10 feet away from the main residence and 5 feet away from any property lines. However, it's crucial to check with your local planning department or building authority to understand the setback requirements and any other regulations that apply to building an accessory dwelling unit in your area.
-
What are the ADU regulations in Arizona?
While regulations governing ADUs vary across Arizona's municipalities, the trend is toward greater acceptance and support for these units. Many cities have revised zoning ordinances to encourage ADU construction, streamlining the permitting process and relaxing certain restrictions to make it easier for homeowners to build on their properties.
