ADU Construction in Snellville
Planned around what zoning allows on your lot: a backyard cottage, an add-on suite with a separate door or a garage made livable, each finished like a real home.

A Small Home Needs Every Detail
An accessory dwelling unit is a complete place to live on your property: somewhere to sleep, cook and bathe, behind its own door. In a small footprint, every detail works harder. Storage, outlet placement, the size of the shower and where the daylight comes in decide whether it feels cramped or comfortable.
Zoning comes first. Your city or county sets the maximum size, the required distance from property lines and the rules on renting, so we check those before talking layout or cost.
What an ADU Project Includes
-
Detached cottages
A freestanding unit in the yard, built from the footings up, with water, sewer and power brought to it from the main house or the street as the site allows.
-
Attached suites
Living space joined to the main home with its own door, attached on one side yet run as an independent small household.
-
Garage conversions
Your garage reworked into a unit, with the slab, walls and openings adapted for insulation, a kitchen, a bathroom and a proper entry door.
-
Interior finish
Kitchen, bath, storage and lighting planned for a small footprint, with finishes chosen to be easy to live with and easy to keep clean.
What to Sort Out First
-
Zoning on your lot
Your city or county decides whether an ADU is allowed, how large it can be, how far from property lines it must sit and whether it can be rented.
-
Whose home it will be
A relative moving in or a paying tenant changes the priorities, from storage and privacy to where the entrance faces the main house.
-
Utilities
The distance from the unit to existing water, sewer and power lines affects cost a great deal, so it's one of the first things we look at on a visit.
ADU Questions
How long does it take to build an ADU?
Type matters most. Converting a garage reuses a structure that's already there, so it generally moves faster than a detached cottage, which needs footings, framing and utility trenches first and often runs several months.
Can I rent out an ADU?
Possibly. Rental rules differ between Gwinnett County and the cities within it, and some places limit who may live in the unit. We confirm what applies to your property before planning starts.
Room on the Lot for a Second Home?
Tell us roughly how big your lot is, where the unit might sit and who'd live there. We'll go over the zoning questions, which type of ADU fits and what drives the cost.
