The process of Designing and Building an ADU in Portland

When you work with Refresh, your ADU remodeling consultant will be your guide throughout your ADU construction in Portland. First, you'll want to define what your plans are for your ADU. Will it be to house family and friends, or will it serve as an AirBnB or rental property? You might browse some local Portland ADU examples to get inspiration. How much space do you have for your ADU? The average ADU size is between 600 to 1200 square feet, but that depends on the size of your property.

Next, it's time to design your space. Your Refresh ADU Contractor in Portland will work together with you to come up with an ADU design specific to Portland that complements your property and meets local regulation guidelines. ADU plans in Portland vary depending on the size of the property and the purpose of the dwelling. Once plans are drawn up and you are happy with those, your ADU Consultant will come back to you with a fixed quote. To get your personalised quote, book your free consultation now!

Once the cost is approved and permits are acquired by your ADU Consultant, the construction work begins. Your Consultant will have a network of reliable ADU builders in Portland, as well as other suppliers and contractors needed for the job.

How much does it cost to build an ADU in Portland?

If you’ve done your research, you’ll know that most companies provide a wide cost spectrum for ADUs - anywhere between $50,000 - $200,000+*. This is because ADU costs in Portland can significantly decrease or increase depending on a range of factors, including: your design specifications, whether the ADU is attached or detached, engineering requirements, permit costs, construction costs and a range of other factors. The good news is, when you work with Refresh, we will factor all of these costs into an original cost estimate and can provide you with a fixed quote before the project begins. We can also advise you on the best ways to stay within your planned budget.

*Costs are rough estimates and are subject to change. Please consult your local Refresh Renovations Consultant for a cost estimate accurate to your project requirements.  

Will Refresh take care of any permit applications?

Portland ADU requirements can be tedious and complex. Refresh will take care of all permit requirements and will ensure all work is carried out in accordance with local standards and regulations. Rest assured, the team that will carry out your project have been hand-picked by your local Remodeling ADU contractor in order to provide you with a professional and friendly experience as well as an exceptional result. 

Types of ADUs

In most circumstances, homeowners will build ADUs as an accessory apartment to accommodate friends, family, guests or tenants. Primarily, you will need to decide whether or not you want it to be attached to your house or detached. For some, a home extension is the best option. For others, particularly those who want more space and privacy, a detached unit is the best solution. Many homeowners choose to renovate their garages into ADU units - either as a complete conversion or by adding a second story living space above the garage.

Your Budget,
Our Expertise

Refresh’s process supports a bespoke design and build: a renovation tailored to your lifestyle requirements and taste. Your local Accessory Dwelling Unit renovation consultant will manage every aspect for you - working to keep everything on track.

Step 1

Briefing / Initial Consultation

The first thing your Accessory Dwelling Unit renovation consultant will want to know is what it is that you want to achieve through your home renovation. In this initial consultation, you can throw all of your ideas on the table - your consultant will then tailor them to your property and budget.

Step 2

Concept and Feasibility

With a clear understanding of your renovation goals, your Accessory Dwelling Unit consultant can arrange for an architectural concept to be drawn up. This allows your Accessory Dwelling Unit consultant to assess whether or not your ideas are feasible, and allows you to point out any changes you would like in the design - before any work begins.

Step 3

Working Drawings and Costing

Next, working drawings will be developed. These will take into account the engineering, structural, design and aesthetic decisions you have made. If you would like to make any further changes, now is the time to do so. From there, your Accessory Dwelling Unit consultant will present you with a fixed-quote as well as a contract.

Step 4

Build / Construction Stage

Finally, you get to witness your project transition from the page to your property! Every aspect of the build will be managed for you, allowing you to carry on with your everyday life. Your Accessory Dwelling Unit consultant will do everything in their power to keep your project on schedule so that it can be completed within a set timeframe and budget.

Step 5

Your Finished Renovation

The final stage is for your local Accessory Dwelling Unit consultant to ensure that all Council documentation is completed and you have the necessary Code of Compliance documentation. Congratulations – your renovation is complete!
