This is one of the first things that people mention when wanting to build an accessory dwelling unit on their property. And it is true! ADUs can make your home more marketable by offering potential buyers extra space, more flexible living arrangements, and income.
You might have a specific vision for your ADU and feel excited about the idea of constructing it yourself. But unfortunately, potential buyers might be worried about the structural integrity and craftsmanship of the new build if it’s not done by a professional team.
ADUs are self-contained, meaning that they have separate entrances and utilities that allow someone to live in them independently. This is great for a place like Las Vegas where both short- and long-term rentals are in high demand.
While it can be great to enjoy an extra source of income, renting out your property isn’t always a passive endeavor. For short term rentals, you’ll need to manage bookings, provide certain amenities, and be available to your renters during their stay. For long-term rentals, you’ll need to make sure that your property is being well cared for and your renters don’t have any complaints.
Building new structures on your property requires approval through the City of Las Vegas to make sure that you’re following laws and regulations surrounding ADUs. And this can be a confusing process for anyone not well-versed in local building code. Our team at Terra Mia can help you understand what the local building requirements are and how you can go about submitting permit requests.
We wish that we could snap our fingers and give you the ADU of your dreams but the reality is, construction of new structures takes time. From initial design to permit acquisition to material sourcing and construction, you’ll need to set aside a few months for a big project like this.
That being said, when you hire the right company, you’ll be amazed at how efficient the building process can be. We use our industry connections to get the best delivery times and are committed to organized, efficient project management.
Usually, when you build an ADU on your property, the plan is not to move into the new construction, reserving it instead for guests or family members who will be living with you. But once you see how gorgeous the new living space is, don’t be surprised if you get the itch to start renovating other areas of your home, too!
We say this is a pro and a con because it can be so exciting to think about ways to transform your living space to reflect your lifestyle, tastes, and interests. But of course, the con is that you might not have been expecting to want to keep building!
Don’t worry, if you feel like your ADU construction has left you wanting more for the rest of your home, Terra Mia is here to keep up the momentum! We can help you brainstorm and design other renovation projects for your kitchen, bedroom, living area and more!
