Purpose-Built ADU Kits

Start With What You Need

People come to ADUs for different reasons. Some need a place for a parent to live nearby. Some want to generate rental income. Some want to build it themselves and do it right.

Whatever your goal, you can choose a kit designed to support it.

For Owner-Builders

You want to take control of the build. A complete kit helps you do it with confidence, whether it’s a home, office, or workshop.

For Rental Property Owners

You’re adding income to property you already own. Faster build times and lower operating costs enhance your return.

For Caregivers

You need a safe, comfortable space close to home. A predictable build process helps you eliminate guesswork.

Panelized Construction

Manufactured Off-Site. Assembled on Your Property.

This isn’t a stack of materials, and it’s not a pre-built box. You get precision-engineered panels that arrive ready to assemble, along with drawings that guide the process from day one.

Engineering Behind High Performance Panels

Why It Works

Your kit uses structural insulated panels (SIPs), made with a rigid foam core between two structural OSB facings.

That design helps your home stay stronger, seal tighter, and use less energy than standard stick framing.

Why Homeowners Choose Panelized Construction

Skilled labor is harder to find and more expensive than ever. A panelized kit reduces your reliance on both while giving you a stronger, more efficient home.

Built for Real-World Conditions

Panels are engineered to handle wind, snow, and seismic loads with consistent strength.

Lower Energy Bills

Tight sealing and high insulation help reduce heating and cooling costs, often by up to 60%.

Faster Build Time

The shell can be under roof in days instead of weeks, helping you move forward sooner.

More Predictable Costs

Less on-site labor and fewer material surprises mean better cost control from the start.

ADU KITS FOR SALe

What’s Included and What It Costs

Your total project cost usually lands at two to three times the kit price once foundation, utilities, and finishes are included.

The quote builder gives you the kit cost. Your local contractors define the rest based on your site.
