Frequently Asked Questions
-
An ADU is a dwelling unit other than the primary dwelling on a property. They have many other names including casitas, guest houses, granny flats, in-laws quarters, secondary dwelling units (SDU’s) and carriage houses (if they’re above garages).
-
Yes! Please call us or email us!
-
Most likely if you are in Albuquerque or Bernalillo County you are allowed to add an ADU to your property (Bernalillo County calls them “Secondary Dwelling Units” or SDU’s).
The City of Albuquerque is getting more and more proactive about encouraging them, especially near transit corridors!
Set up an appointment with us to come look at your site and we’ll be able to make sure, as well as learn more about the scope of your project.

Checking with your own local bank is a good idea, even though ADU financing might be new to them.
We’re also happy to connect you with a financier who specializes in ADU construction projects.
-
Start by giving us a call to set up a free consultation at your property!
Then we’ll review your project details, and nail down what your project is going to be.
-
Yes, we can build ADU’s on either slab on grade, or stem wall with crawlspace or even basement.
-
Yes, we can very likely match the siding and roofing to your house with our existing designs. The City of Albuquerque only requires that the color matches, but if you need the architecture to be adjusted to match the main house (ie: you’d like a flat roof but our current models have pitched roofs) we’ll just need to go the custom design route, which is not a problem.
-
Yes we do! We’d be happy to meet to talk about your project.
-
We’re now building main homes as well as multi-plexes (up to four-plexes)! We still focus on maximizing space and function, of course!
