Derek , your commitment to quality is astounding. From the top-notch finishes in this episode to the extra-thick concrete featured in episode one, you show your care for craft. Furthermore, the quality of all of these episodes have been second to none. You are an excellent teacher, and I hope that you continue to bring this level of excellence to all of your passions! Thank you for the beautiful work.
Hi there! You are so welcome. Thank you for the views, support and this kind comment. Sharing the ADU build process has been a labor of love and seeing it add value to others is the true payoff!!
I’ve been building ADUs for a few years now for my personal rental portfolio, but this video series has inspired me to increase the quality of finishes I put into my projects. Very well done!
Thank you for the kind words! Glad I could help!
@@ThatADUGuylooks great man
What’s the sf of the ADU
This series has been absolute GOLD. Can't wait to see what you do next!
Thanks!! One more video in the series. Final walkthrough and final cost.
Agreed! Great video series!!
@@priceman1980 thanks !! Hoping to break ground on a cottage cluster soon!
I just binged watched all your videos on the 2ADU’s. Im planning on building these on a few projects. I was planning on using a Prefab Modular factory built product. But after watching your videos I will likely do it both ways. I learned a lot from your videos and will hire quality subs. I won’t be doing much or any work myself. With the exception of helping out with picking up materials. But seriously how do you not have a truck?
Thanks for the views! Glad to hear I may have help you fine tune your stategy. I have built many houses out of the back of that subaru. I have a little beat up truck but have always liked the do more with less take on life.
Great work! I appreciate you sharing your process. This was the most detailed series I’ve seen.
I appreciate that! Glad it helped. We put a ton of time into trying to cature all 200 steps of building an ADU.
Nice work on the floors
Glad you like them! Thanks!
If you were to build it for a customer client what would your sq /ft price be ?
Prob around $240/sf for a simple design on a flat lot like these.
you are gold, my friend. wish you were in central texas.
Maybe one day! Thanks for the kind words!
Awesome, the free ADU plans are a huge bonus!
Hey Tyler!
Great series!! It was super informative and inspiring!! Keep up the great work and keep the videos coming!
Glad you enjoyed it Roger! Thanks for the views and support.
Love it! Looks amazing!!
Thanks Zach! We are happy with the simplicity
Great series. Thanks for doing it, learned a lot.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the support!
Awesome job Derek. Liked the idea of paying an expert to teach you their trade.
Thanks! 👍
Yes, a trick I have learned over the years.
Subd and binge watched the series from part 1. Good balance of info & visual. Good energy & kept us engaged.
Good to hear! Hope it was helpful 🎉
Unbelievable series dude. You are the man!
Thanks for the views and support. We did our best to share the whole process.
Awesome show Derek. This has truly fired me up to continue to find a property here in Memphis TN that I can have a main house & A ADU(my house I own has a small lot size and I can't see fitting a ADU on it). I LOVE that 2bd 2bath ADU you design (I personally would love that for my main house). Thank you for sharing/helping people Derek.
Errick , Memphis TN
Hi Errick! Thanks for the views and kind words. Yes, the 2/2 is a great size for a couple, a small family or roommates.
You're amazing! Congratulations
Thanks Jill!
Thank you for sharing your building knowledge and experience! Much appreciated.
You're welcome!!
Awesome series man
Thanks dude!
Thank you, Derek, for the videos. I am learning a lot from watching them. What is your choice of flooring material on a concrete slab instead of a raised floor when you can nail the wood floor? Thanks again, and keep up the good work!
Your're welcome. Would use tile or LVP over a slab.
Great channel. I'm exactly the same, will drive in a van and have them load me up a piece to do it cheaply. Save $$$
Yes! Love hearing this. Thanks for the view!
Hey Derek! Curious what each unit rents for? Awesome series! I binge watched it
Great to hear! Thanks. 2/2 is $1850, I live in the back one but market rate is around $1500
Love your design in this historical area. Is there any reason you choose to do smaller 1-2 bed units typically vs larger 4 bed units?
Thanks! Yes, I just love small houses and more of them. The more units we can add, the more downward pressure we put on rent prices, giving tenants much needed relief.
@@ThatADUGuy interesting. So two 2/1s would put more downward pressure on rent prices than a single 4/2 would in the same area?
I think so. Roughly 2/3 of all US households are 2 people or less
@@ThatADUGuy that is a good argument. Seems like if you wanted to have the same profit margin a 4/2 could be built for less money than 2 2/1s(especially a 2 story 4/2)and therefore be offered to the rental market at a lower rate but house the same amount of people.
Notwithstanding the fact that most US households only need a 1/1 or 2/1.
Thanks Derek for your vids they are awesome!
Hi Derek. This has been the best and most helpful series on YT. Super informative and inspiring. Where would I be able to get the plans for the builds in your videos?
Hi there! Thanks! Under the resources tab on my website. thatADUguy.com
@@ThatADUGuy thank you!
@@MaxTimoshchik you're welcome!
Would I do a lazy Susan in the corner kitchen cabinet
You could for sure. I don't. I wasted that space on the front unit. Another good reason to do a one wall kitchen if you can.
Hey Derek you're coming in at $100 sq/ft.
Yes! Still waiting on a few final bills but yes, cost (with 1200 hrs of my free time) is right at $100/ft.
Is it more efficient/economical to build two stories and/or are they allowed for ADU's in your area? Thx - great series
Yes and yes. My two story units are ADU over garage and is prob the most effecient built in the quiver. Thanks for the views!
After how many years do you guys have to do another coat of poly on the floors?
15-20 years on average. Or buff and add a coat every 10.
@@ThatADUGuy awesome thank you! How long does it typically take you to buff and add a coat in these 800sqft ADU’s that you do?
Hey you say in the video that you linked a how-to for the ladder build. Am I missing it? Looking forward to replacing a really terrible one in our ADU. 15:30
Yes! Its coming! Should be uploaded by tomorrow.

Now if this same unit what's to be built in Southern California Riverside what would you guess for a sq/ft price ?
Prob $300-400 would be my guess?
3 hrs
*What was the final, total and complete cost per foot?*
$108
@@ThatADUGuy
Thanks, and how much would that be if you personally had NOT done anything, but had it all done by contractors? Just an estimate ball park figure?
@@khaleefax9553 $250/sf and up.

So for a person to develop and become at the level of skillset and experience that you have, one has to be in the industry fulltime for atleast a decade or more?
Otherwise I guess the biggest hurdle in this business in today's day n age is to find reliable contractors to work reasonable prices.
About a year ago, I called an electrician to replace a ceiling fan for me at my rental.
*He quoted $280.00 for the job. The new fan cost $65.*
I said OK because I was in a hurry.
We agreed on 10:30 AM next morning so I allocated time off from my work.
He sends me a text at 9:20 am saying that he has finished early from his previous job and he is at my place - so I have to be there.
I said, I am unable to get off but let me try
I reached my property at 9:31 and he had already left - not even letting me know.
This is how bad it gets when dealing with contractors.
I recently saw another video where an experienced developer had it all done at $275 a sq ft where he personally did not do anything - but he did have a reliable team.
For me personally, I consulted a reputed home builder to custom build my home - he quoted $400 a sq ft MINUMUM - perhaps this was a high end work but the price was ridiculous since the construction cost to build a 5000 sqft home was $2m and that too, without a finished basement. I had to drop the plan and simply purchased a 10 years old home that fitted my needs to about 90%.
I want one, little house build, is it difficult if your a women dealing with trades? I want to build a tiny house.
Hi Nancy, We should all have one! No, you can do it. What market are you in?
