Building an ADU? Watch this video BEFORE you start; it could save you time, money, and a LOT of headaches. We’ve brought Derek Sherrell, AKA “That ADU Guy,” back to walk through one of his most recent builds. This ADU (accessory dwelling unit) is being built ENTIRELY from the ground up, and you’ll get to see every step along the way so you DON’T make any rookie ADU mistakes.
If you’re thinking of building your own ADU and going DIY on handiwork, make sure you know the time commitment it will take. In this video, Derek walks through who should be building their own ADU, the cost savings of doing the work yourself (if you can), and laying the literal foundation of your first ADU build. From utility hookups to packing dirt, framing, filling your foundation, and preparing to build, Derek showcases everything you MUST do at the beginning of your ADU build, so you can have the best rental ever!
