ADU Prefab options in Bay area

[Namit Raisurana]

Hello,

I am considering putting an ADU behind my rental property in East Palo Also. Keeping the setbacks aside, I can build around 40*20 = 800 sf ADU. Keeping rentability in mind, I am trying to do a 2bed/1bath

I have been looking at options and looks like the cheapest construction cost is going to be around $250/sf + many other additional cost. I have been talking to various other Prefab companies and below is my analysis until now -

a) Abodu - really nice adu, have a model that you can view in Redwood city. will cost around 230k all inclusive for under 500sf. 1b/1ba

b) Veev - pretty nice adu, have a model that you can view in East palo alto. will cost around 200k all inclusive for under 570sf, but 70sf is for covered deck, so essentially living space is around 500sf. 1b/1ba. good thing is they seem to be an established company and doing bunch of other construction projects in bay area

c) Sonderpods - have not seen these yet, but i have been talking to them. their cost will be around 190k (doesnt include appliances cost) for 750sf, 2b/1ba. This seems most attractive from a cost perspective, but they also seem to be very new in this game. from some quick research their CEO is not even doing this full-time

Others that I have across that I still need to research are -

The factors that are important for me in making the decision are -

i) Price

ii) Confidence whether the ADU seller will be around when issues start showing up in 5+ yrs

iii) Ability to deliver / references

Would love to know if any of you have done a similar analysis already or have used any of these companies?

Thanks
