Common Questions About Additions

How much does it cost to build an ADU in Florida? expand_more
Costs vary widely based on size and finishes, but generally range from $250 to $400 per square foot for detached ADUs. Garage conversions are typically more cost-effective, starting around $100-$150 per sq. ft. We provide detailed estimates after a site feasibility study.
Do I need a permit for a garage conversion? expand_more
Yes, always. Converting a non-living space into habitable space requires permits to ensure proper insulation, electrical safety, and HVAC standards. Unpermitted work can lead to heavy fines and major issues when selling your home.
How long does the permitting process take? expand_more
In Florida, permitting for additions typically takes 4-8 weeks, depending on the municipality and complexity of the plans. We monitor this daily to expedite approval.
