What We Do
We help homeowners throughout Grayson, Tucker, Brookhaven, and the surrounding areas maximize their land by adding more functional space to their homes.
Attached & Detached ADUs
We build attached ADUs that seamlessly integrate with your home’s existing facade, as well as detached ADUs that provide greater privacy.
Garage Conversions & FROGs
Transform your existing garage into a separate living space, or opt for a new garage with a complete living area above it, commonly known as a ‘front room over garage’ (FROG).
Hobby & Entertainment Spaces
Elevate your yoga practice or art hobby with a custom backyard she-shed, yoga studio, artist quarters, or pool house. We specialize in creating the perfect space to maximize your passions.

FAQs
Where are ADUs allowed in Atlanta?
In Atlanta, ADUs are allowed in zoning districts such as R-4, R-4A, and R-5. These zones support the development of secondary residential units, making it essential to verify your property’s zoning classification before starting your project. Get in touch with us today to find out if your East Atlanta property qualifies.
Are ADUs available across Georgia?
Yes, ADUs are permitted under Georgia state law. However, specific regulations regarding ADU construction vary by city and county. Local ordinances may impose additional restrictions or requirements, so consulting local building authorities is crucial to understanding ADU availability in your area.
Do I need a permit to build an ADU?
Yes, a permit is necessary for construction. Regulations vary by city and state, so it’s crucial to check local zoning laws and building codes. Our team can guide you through the permitting process to ensure compliance and a seamless experience.
How long does it take to complete an ADU?
The timeline for building an ADU depends on factors like design complexity, permitting, and construction conditions. Generally, the process can take anywhere from 6 to 12 months from planning to completion. Setbacks in the permitting process can lengthen this timeline.
Can I rent out my Atlanta ADU?
Yes. While you can’t sell your ADU separately from your main residence, it’s generally permitted in the city of Atlanta to rent out your ADU.
