An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a secondary, self-contained living space located on the same lot as a primary residence. It can be a detached unit, an attached unit, or even a conversion of existing space such as a garage or basement. ADUs are designed to provide additional living space for family members, guests, or tenants.
BuildLabs offers specialized expertise in designing and constructing high-quality ADUs that blend seamlessly with your existing property. Our focus on luxury, craftsmanship, and attention to detail ensures that your ADU will meet your needs and complement the style of your primary residence.
ADUs provide a range of benefits, including increased property value, additional rental income, and flexible living arrangements for family members or guests. They also offer the convenience of having extra space without the need to relocate.
Your assigned project manager will help guide you through the permitting and design requirements based on local town rules. For the town of East Hampton, for example: A detached affordable accessory apartment shall be a minimum of 300 square feet and a maximum of 600 square feet. An attached affordable accessory apartment shall be a minimum of 300 square feet and a maximum of 50% of the gross floor area of the principal dwelling unit not to exceed 1,200 square feet.
