Rental ADU Standard Plan - 2BR 2BA - 750 sqft - El Cajon, CA - Snap ADU
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- These El Cajon property owners took advantage of our value-engineered standard ADU plan when dreaming up this rental property. No customizations were made to the 749 sqft plan, other than a private driveway leading up to the unit. The two bedroom, two bathroom floor plan offered plenty of space for flexibility and comfort no matter what the final use ends up being.

how much is the cost on this ADU project? thanks
For a 2BR/2BA 750sqft unit, budget for:
-Design & Plans: $10K (including all revisions).
-Permits: varies based on your city, typically $2-8K.
-Basic Site Work: $25K (getting building pad ready for ADU).
-Vertical Build: $290K (includes all finishes).
-Additional Site-specific Costs: TBD based on your property, typically around $30-50K (things like utility upgrades, grading, solar if required).
So all-in (including permits to city), project would be in the mid $300Ks.
My ADU is same sq ft and only one bathroom. My cost for everything is $200k
@@mikef2811 Thanks for sharing! May we ask what approach you used to construction, EG did you self-manage the project? Was it a conversion or new construction? What metro area are you in? How long did the whole process take? Would love to hear from you!
@@snapadu I am in Sacramento, CA. I hired a local licensed Contractor. He then hired other subcontractors to build it. My only job was to be inform on the progress of the project and what I wanted put in. I used the city plan, but I ended up regretting it. I wished I used my own plans. It would have been cheaper in the long run. The guy who did my garage Jr. ADU was going to charge me $2000 for the plans but he was a few months behind, so I went with the city approved plan instead because I was trying to finish my ADU before summer.
Long story short, I still got delayed using the city plans and ended up with things that I did not like. I asked the city if I can make those changes during construction, but they said, "NO". So I had to push forward with the city plans. Reasons why I wanted change: 1) I wanted to do a 2 BR, 2 BA...The city plan only has 1 BA. Worst case at least another half bath. 2) I wanted Tile Roof but due to the plans, Tile Roof was too heavy. So, I settled with Shingle Roofs.
Now, I have 2 rental properties. JR. ADU and the Backyard ADU. The JR. ADU is currently being rented out. The Backyard ADU, I did receive the $40K grant...Which will be used to cover Fees and the removal of my swimming pool. The swimming pool demo was $25K, which I did not include in the ADU. If I include it, it would be $225K for the total cost. But most people would not have a pool in the first place. Backyard is pending final approval in soon. A few more fixes before it is completely done. The project started was supposed to be down in 3 months but got push back to 4.5 months to five months (depending on the final approval from the City Approval).
Got the floor plan for this?

This is the worst 2 bedroom I have ever seen in my life. The door wedged in a corner opening to the kitchen wall that covers the entire length of the public space!. The slider off to the hallway. But of course the biggest crime is the extra bathroom in a 720 sqft plan! A 2 bedroom is either a family or roommates… if you must have a second bathroom you need to be clever with smarter space allocation in a compact way to give more useful zones. The living room layout is the least comfortable, least useful, least attractive, and poor fengshui I have ever seen even in tiny houses. I understand the draw of having another bathroom. But perhaps you could have done a bathroom and a powder room then added a little more square footage to the insufficient public spaces. Then in the kitchen you could moved it into a mini U or L shape so the dining and living area can have its own designated side of the room instead of being the entire house and all that is greeting you when you walk in. I have designed hundreds of ADU and would never suggest something like this to a client. I once designed a 600 sqft 2 bedroom that still had a designated entry way with a dining nook, U kitchen and 10x12 living room all in nicely proportional regions. Perhaps this specific site had restrictions in the footprint shape that forced you to arrive at this bad use of space?
We appreciate your perspective on this 2-bedroom ADU design under 750 sqft. It's important to note that the inclusion of large dual suites with full baths - and a smaller main living area - is a response to specific requests from several investor clients, aiming to provide enhanced privacy and convenience for diverse living arrangements. We value all feedback as it helps us refine our designs to better serve a wide range of needs, and we always work with each of our clients to design something that hits their wish list. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and wishing you continued success in your ADU designs.
@@snapadu well sorry feel like jerk for my comment in hindsight
@@snapadu by the way super professional reply to my stupid internet rant was refreshing. I also understand that A)you have clients with requests for this and you are just providing something that others may like… and B)certain building footprints will only allow for so much with the same square footage.
As a landlord, the second bath is great if there is a toilet clog. No longer an emergency.
@@warrentrout good point … also better for roommates and thus rents
