I was wondering what will be a cost of building an apartment quality 1000 sq ft. ADU unit (2 bed/2 bath/ 2 story) in the san francisco bay area. any inputs will be appreciated. I am looking for a quote for construction only excluding all the soft costs like architectural,engineering, permit, etc.

@Ike Ekeh Can vary a lot depending on the jurisdiction. I built an ADU in Albany, California last year. I have the exact numbers stored away, so here are some rough numbers from memory. ADU cost about $200k to build in hard costs.

Permits $7,000

Architect (friend) $2500.  Normally $6,000.

Structural Engineer $3000

Surveyor $850

Energy Calcs $250
