ADU Builder in Portland & Vancouver

Detached ADUs, garage conversions, and attached in-law suites — designed, permitted, and built for you.

An accessory dwelling unit adds rental income, space for family, or a future downsizing option on the property you already own. As ADU builders licensed in both Oregon and Washington, we design and build across the Portland metro and Clark County.

Every project starts with a zoning and setback review so you know what is buildable before design begins. From there the backyard cottage or in-law suite is engineered, permitted, and built as a complete small home — foundation, envelope, kitchen, bath, and utility connections.

How It Works

Our Process

  1. 1

    Consultation & site walk

    We walk the home with you, measure the existing structure, and talk through goals, budget range, and timing before anything is drawn.

  2. 2

    Design & engineering

    Our in-house studio produces plans and 3D views, and our structural team engineers the framing, foundations, and systems behind them.

  3. 3

    Permits & pricing

    We prepare and submit the permit package, answer plan-review comments, and lock a detailed, line-item price against the approved set.

  4. 4

    Build & walkthrough

    One Masters project lead runs the trades, schedules inspections, and finishes with a punch walkthrough before handing the space back.

Frequently Asked

Accessory Dwelling Unit Construction FAQs

What Portland and Vancouver homeowners ask before they begin.

ADUs price as new construction and follow the same $400–$700 per square foot addition range, though utility runs, site access, and setbacks move the number. We give firm pricing after the site walk. See our Portland remodeling cost guide for detailed ranges.
