Building an ADU can add rental income, extra living space, or boost your property value. But the first question every homeowner asks is “How much will it cost to build an ADU?”

ADU Portal makes it simple. This free AI-powered platform helps homeowners across the U.S. estimate ADU construction costs, plan budgets, check financing options, and analyze ROI in minutes. It also uses virtual reality tools to help you visualize your space before construction begins.

Get Started With Your ADU Project

Tools That Make ADU Planning Easy

1. ADU Cost Calculator

Get instant estimates for your ADU construction costs. Input your unit type, size, and location to see realistic numbers that include:

  • Local labor and material costs

2. Financing Eligibility
