ADU contractor or Pre-fabricated house

Juan Lopez
Posted

Hi guys,

I am based in miami. My primary residence sits on a big lot, where I can fit an ADU or pre-fabricated home. I was wondering if any of you guys has had any experience with building an ADU, or buying a pre-fabricated house. I know this last has become very popular. Any insight it is much appreciated.

thanks,

Juan Lopez

Hi Juan,

Yes I have clients that have built ADUs on their lots and have used them to rent out or for a home gym, home office etc. Drawings for the ADU need to be submitted to the city as there are requirements for it to be considered a legal dwelling. Many owners in Miami do this without permits however when you go to sell it can cause problems down the road if it's an un-permitted structure as you will need to either get a retro-active permit or tear down the structure.
