Why Work With a Dedicated

Every project is planned carefully, communicated clearly, and built to a standard that holds up long after construction is complete.

What Does an ADU Cost
in Los Angeles?
ADU costs in Los Angeles vary based on the type and size of the unit, site conditions, utility work, structural requirements, permitting, materials, finish level, and overall construction scope.
Garage
Conversions
Garage conversions may be more cost-effective when the existing structure is usable, but costs depend on foundation, framing, utilities, insulation, windows, doors, and interior finishes.
Attached
ADUs
Attached ADUs often involve structural tie-ins, layout planning, utility connections, exterior integration, and careful coordination with the existing home.
Detached
ADUs
Detached ADUs are essentially new small homes, with separate foundations, framing, roofing, utilities, kitchens, bathrooms, finishes, and site work.
These ranges are general planning figures, not fixed pricing. The best way to understand your ADU budget is to review the property, desired layout, finish level, permitting requirements, and construction scope together.

“My husband and I used Overland Remodeling to add a master bedroom/bath to our 2 bedroom house. Working with Shahar and his team was a really wonderful experience. There weren't any surprises and everything went very smoothly - which was so important as we had a newborn and toddler at home at the time! They finished on time and on budget and we LOVE our master suite so much! We highly recommend Overland Builders to anyone looking!”Read More Reviews →
