Using pre-approved ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) plans offers several key benefits, including cost savings, time efficiency, and ease of the permitting process. These plans can save homeowners significant amounts on design fees and lower permitting costs since they are already reviewed by city planners. The permitting process is expedited, reducing the time it takes compared to custom plans. Pre-approved plans simplify the process by providing a detailed overview and walkthrough, reducing the risk of errors and ensuring code compliance. They offer design flexibility with various options and minor customizations while ensuring regulatory compliance. Additionally, many cities provide these plans for free or at reduced costs, making them accessible to more homeowners. This combination of benefits makes pre-approved ADU plans an attractive option for adding an ADU to your property.
