Types of ADUs We Build

Our team understands and adheres to the San Jose ADU requirements for each type of accessory dwelling unit we build. There are multiple kinds of ADUs to accommodate different needs, lot sizes, and property types. The following is a list of the ADUs we build at O.T Bay Builders:

1

Attached ADU: These ADUs attach to your existing home either at the side or as a second story. This is an excellent option if you intend to use the ADU for visiting or live-in family as you remain connected while preserving each household’s privacy.

2

Detached ADU: A detached ADU is a free-standing structure, completely separate from the existing home. This type of ADU is ideal for relatives or renters as the residents will have their own entrance and yard space, depending on the size of the lot.

3

Junior Accessory Dwelling Units: A junior accessory dwelling unit (JADU) is built onto or within the existing home. They typically share utilities with the main house, as well as the kitchen and bathrooms. A JADU has a maximum size of 500 square feet.

4

Garage Conversion: A garage conversion turns either an attached or detached garage into a functional living space. This type of ADU is perfect for small lots because you’re repurposing existing square footage rather than building the unit from the ground up.
