Most Property Owners Overpay for ADUs
Traditional general contractors mark up materials, labor, and subs — often adding 25–40% in hidden costs to your project.
You end up paying more for management, not construction.
Inflated bids and vague budgets
Little transparency in costs
Change orders that keep adding up
There is a smarter way to build!

TESTIMONIALS
What others are saying
“I was getting quotes from general contractors that were $60,000 higher than I expected.
DC and the Strategic ADU team showed me a smarter way — I hired the subs directly, and they managed everything from planning to finish. The project came in under budget and two weeks early.
Thanks to them, my new ADU now rents for $1,950 a month!”
- Carlos M., Los Angeles, CA
“We wanted to build an ADU for my mom but had no idea where to start. Strategic ADU guided us through every step — design, permits, and construction — while saving us over $45,000 compared to the contractor bids we got.
DC was professional, honest, and patient the entire way. Now my mom has her own beautiful space, and our property value jumped by nearly 30%!”
- Rebecca & James L., Palmdale, CA
“I’d never managed a construction project before and was nervous about being taken advantage of. Strategic ADU took all the stress out of it.
They explained every cost, reviewed all bids, and made sure I stayed on track. I felt completely supported and informed.
My ADU is gorgeous — and I saved about 35% compared to hiring a GC.”
- Sarah P., Granada Hills, CA

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is Strategic ADU?
Strategic ADU is a California-based consulting and project management service that helps homeowners plan, design, and build Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) — without paying inflated general contractor markups. We guide you from concept to completion so you save money, time, and stress.
How is Strategic ADU different from a general contractor?
General contractors charge markups of 25–40% on materials and labor. We don’t.
Instead, we act as your project manager and advocate, helping you hire qualified trades directly, manage the process, and keep full control of your budget. The result: professional oversight with transparent costs.
How much money can I really save?
Most clients save $30,000–$70,000 (or more) compared to GC bids, depending on the size and complexity of the ADU.
Our open-book approach ensures every dollar goes toward your build — not markups.
What happens during the Free Feasibility Call?
We review your property’s zoning, size, and goals to determine what type of ADU you can build, your estimated budget, and your best next steps.
You’ll walk away with a custom ADU roadmap and clear understanding of your project potential.
