First certified ADU Specialist in North Georgia
A SEAMLESS EXPERIENCE
We start with a complimentary consultation to understand your vision, needs, and budget. Our experts assess your property to determine the best location for your ADU and review local zoning regulations to ensure feasibility. This is an important first step to meet with the key players who will make decisions and need to know all that is involved with constructing an ADU on their property. Our specialist will come prepared to answer as many questions as possible during this initial session.
If you are ready to move forward, our design team works closely with you to create a custom ADU plan that fits your lifestyle and enhances your property. The estimate is provided, and we get to work. Initially, we provide detailed 3D renderings and floor plans, allowing you to visualize the space before construction begins. You will meet with the architect if needed to discuss any plan changes you desire and make sure your space is designed efficiently and structurally pleasing. You will also get to meet with the design selection coordinator to pick out options for your ADU. We have standard options and multiple upgrade options to review if you so desire.
Navigating permits can be daunting, but we handle the entire process for you. Our team manages all necessary permits and approvals with local building authorities, ensuring your project meets all legal requirements without any hassle. Keep in mind that this part of the project can be very time consuming so be patient. We will keep you apprised along the way if anything comes up that will delay the timeline for your project.
Once permits are secured, our skilled builders get to work, transforming your design into reality. This is where things get real, and your dreams come to life. We manage every aspect of the construction process, keeping you informed with regular updates and ensuring the project stays on time and within budget.
When the final construction processes are completed, inspected and approved, you will receive the certificate of occupancy. That means you can officially move in or begin using your ADU as a living space. Any final walk throughs are completed, and keys are turned over to you. Welcome home!
Your state, county and city laws, and possibly your HOA, will come into affect when reviewing and planning for your Accessible Dwelling Unit. Our team will talk to the various authorities in your area and plan out how to submit for the correct permits to receive permission before construction can begin. Setbacks will have to be established for your lot and the proposed ADU. Any unique considerations to your property could call additional specialty contractors in for review of the construction project and approval thereof.
Great Home Endeavors will customize your home, beginning with a conversation about what you need and want. Going from there, after we confirm the regulations and setbacks with your property for the ADU, you will meet with the architect. You can help to create the space that will work best for you and the dream you have for the ADU. Once the plan has been finalized, you can meet with the designer and select colors, finishes and much more. If you do not see what you want at the design selection process, let us know and we can find more options for you. Our experts aim to please.
The accessory dwelling unit will come finished with a full kitchen (if your plan has a kitchen), bathroom, living space and bedroom(s). Most of our plans have standards that include:
Upgrades are available at an additional cost.
