ADU Construction in Los Angeles
An accessory dwelling unit is one of the most useful additions you can make to a Los Angeles property. It can hold family, guests, a home office, or long-term flexibility as needs change — and it should feel like a considered part of the property rather than a shed in the back yard.

LA Construction and Maintenance builds ADUs as real architecture: proportioned, finished and detailed to sit comfortably alongside the main house. With more than two decades of residential construction in Greater Los Angeles, we are comfortable with the site conditions, access limitations and utility coordination that shape these projects.

Process
How the work moves forward.
01
Conversation
We start by understanding the property, the goals and how the finished space needs to work day to day.
02
Planning & Scope
Scope, sequencing and constraints are defined clearly before construction, so decisions happen early rather than mid-project.
03
Construction
Owner-involved construction with direct communication, coordinated trades and consistent site control.
04
Completion
Finish work, punch list and closeout handled properly. LACM does not leave a job unfinished.
Considerations
Worth knowing early
01
Every property is different. Lot size, setbacks, existing structures and utilities all influence what is realistic — those questions are better answered before design gets far.
02
ADU work is governed by state and local requirements that change over time. We build to the approvals a project receives; we do not promise a particular outcome in advance.
03
Finish level drives both cost and feel. Deciding early whether the unit is a simple guest space or a fully custom residence keeps the budget honest.
