Accessory Dwelling Units

A second home on the same lot — for family, guests or rental income — designed with the same care as the main house.

Why an ADU

More home. Same address.

Massachusetts has opened the door to ADUs on many single-family lots, and a well-designed one can house a parent, a returning child or a long-term tenant — while adding lasting value to the property. Local rules still govern the details, so every project starts with what your specific lot allows.

Three ways to add a home

Choose the right approach.

Garage-attached ADUADU · Billerica

Garage ADU

Add or convert space beside and behind the garage — often the fastest, most economical route, using the footprint you already have.

Suite above a garageADU · Worcester

Over the garage

Build a suite above an existing or new garage, preserving parking and your yard while adding generous living space.

Walk-out basement ADU entryADU · Lower level

Lower-level suite

Turn a basement into a full, private dwelling with its own entry — light, ceiling height and egress resolved properly.

Inside an ADU

Every square foot, considered.

Full kitchens, real bedrooms, proper baths — and plans that make every square foot work.

Questions

Good to know

Can I build an ADU on my property?

It depends on your lot and your town's zoning. Send us the address and we'll review what is permitted, including size limits, setbacks and parking.

Can you convert my existing garage?

Often, yes. We evaluate the structure, foundation, utilities and access first, then design the conversion so it feels like a real home — not a converted garage.

Do you manage the construction?

We coordinate the trades, walk the site and represent you as the owner through completion.
