Garage Conversions & ADU

Construction Costs $120,000 - $190,000

For a good quality garage conversion, you can expect to spend $150,000 to $190,000. This will get you a permitted studio style ADU with a small kitchen & bath with good quality materials & finishes. 

Garages that are not directly attached to a home are some of the most expensive conversions, although are still cheaper than most other single-story extension types. Costs are higher because it's harder to add electrics, water and gas as well as to build any trenches for these lines and pipework. 

Planning and permits take much longer after the Covid-19 pandemic. An estimated 400sq ft. garage conversion can take anywhere between 4 Months -9 Months

As of 2020,  A garage conversion could add up to 20 per cent to the value of your home, while you'll gain valuable extra living space that's less prone to planning complications. So if the cost of the project is less than the extra value added to your property, this is a great way to add more space
