ADU & Garage Conversion Builders in Austin, TX
An accessory dwelling unit is a separate build, not a remodel — a small home with its own foundation, services and envelope, governed by rules that differ sharply between jurisdictions. What your lot allows is a planning question long before it is a design one, and it is where we start.

- What Your Lot Allows
Rules Decide the Design, Not the Other Way Round
Lot size, coverage limits, setbacks, height and parking determine what is buildable before anyone draws anything. Austin’s rules differ from the surrounding suburbs, and unincorporated county land differs again. We establish which authority governs your address and what it permits, then design within that — rather than producing a plan that has to be cut back later.
- What We Offer
ADU Services We Handle In-House
- Every part of a ADU project, run by our own crews rather than subcontracted out and coordinated by phone.
Detached ADUs
Purpose-built secondary units with their own foundation, envelope and services.
Garage Conversions
Converting existing garage structure into a permitted, habitable unit.
Above-Garage Units
Building over an existing garage where the structure and setbacks allow it.
Kitchenettes
Compact kitchens planned for small footprints without making the unit feel temporary.
Bathrooms
Full bathrooms in small footprints, with drainage planned before anything is drawn.
Utility Connections
Water, waste, power and data run to a secondary structure — the most underestimated cost.
HVAC & Insulation
Heating and cooling specified for a small standalone building, not borrowed from the house.
Storage & Space Planning
Built-in storage that makes a small unit workable for long-term occupancy.
Permitting
Establishing what your lot actually allows before design begins.
- Why Choose Us
Why Utilities Are the Line People Underestimate
Running water, waste, power and data to a secondary structure is the least visible part of an ADU and frequently the most expensive surprise. Distance from the main house, whether the existing panel has capacity, and where the sewer connection sits all matter. We price that properly at the start instead of discovering it once the slab is poured.

- ADU Construction
Detached Builds and Garage Conversions
A garage conversion is usually cheaper because the foundation and envelope exist — but it has to be brought up to habitable standard, and if the existing structure is poor the saving narrows quickly. A detached new build costs more and gives you a unit designed for its purpose rather than fitted into a shape that was meant for cars.
- Intended Use
Guests, Family or Rental Income
The intended use should drive the layout from the start. A unit for occasional guests can do without much storage. One meant for a parent or an adult child living there long term needs proper storage, sound separation and heating and cooling that works independently of the main house. Retrofitting those is expensive.
