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!

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.

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.
