California ADU: Tuffshed / steel home kits

Hey everyone,

has anyone tried to buy a large tuff shed or steel home kit and turn it into an ADU? There are tough sheds as big as 2 stories and 1000 sq ft. I also saw that home depot has a bungalow style 1000 sq ft steel home kit and it specifically mentions ADUs. According to the description is that they will design the unit in accordance with your local code. This can be a game changer for me because I am an owner builder and I only sub out the work for the structure. Once the structure is up, I diy the rest. I'm calling the city on Monday to ask but I'm just curious if anyone in California has tried it.

So my city will consider an ADU DIY kit build as a manufactured home. Still waiting on a response from building about the shed conversion.
