ADU/DADU’s Seattle

When your heart is set on your Seattle home and neighborhood, the prospect of upsizing might not be feasible. This is where an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) becomes a valuable solution. Embracing an ADU allows you to expand your living space, whether it's for renting out to others, accommodating extended family, or creating additional room for various purposes—all while maintaining the charm of your beloved home and staying connected to your vibrant Seattle community.

As a homeowner, there may come a time when you realize your current living space no longer fulfills your needs. Perhaps you've started working from home, have elderly relatives moving in, or want to rent something out for extra income. That's where CRD Design Build, your local Seattle ADU builder, can help. We have years of experience designing and building home additions for families in Seattle, helping them obtain the additional space they need without having to leave their beloved neighborhood.

What are Cottages and ADU's?

Cottages and Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) serve as secondary housing units on single-family residential properties. Primarily, they enhance existing homes by adding capacity and square footage, effectively increasing housing availability in single-family neighborhoods. Additionally, these units offer versatile benefits, such as providing ideal options for rental income or accommodating extended family members. Their multifunctional nature makes them a practical solution for homeowners looking to leverage their property for additional living space or financial gain.

Bonus Space

ADUs and cottages provide additional space for bonus rooms such as offices, home gyms, entertainment centers, and play areas. For tenants, they act as a fully equipped living space.

Additional Rental Income

As a homeowner, you can rent out your ADUs or cottage to tenants for extra income.

Multigenerational Living

ADUs and cottages are perfect for housing grandparents, extended relatives, or college-age kids who require their own space.

Increased Property Value

Adding a cottage or ADU to your property can increase its overall value, making it a wise long-term investment.

Custom ADUs By CRD Design Build

When it comes to creating your ADU, the options are endless. You can incorporate a myriad of unique features that cater to your lifestyle needs, functionality requirements, and design preferences. Examples include transforming your unfinished basement into a luxury entertainment center, building a mother-in-law suite from the ground up, or even creating your own art studio. Also, don’t forget to include all the custom elements and designer fixtures you’ve always dreamed of.

Why Choose The Design Build Method For Your ADU

Instead of choosing a run-of-the-mill remodeling contractor to build your ADU, you should consider going with a design-build firm like us here at CRD Design Build. The reason is that a design build firm will handle everything from the design and planning to the actual construction and electrical. There is no need to go back and forth between a designer, architect, and builder and risk the chances of miscommunication or delays. Furthermore, since we have control over the entire process, you can lock in a set price before any work begins.
