As you embark on this journey, you may wonder where to stay during the construction period. Living in an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on your property is an increasingly popular and practical solution. Let\u2019s take a look at the benefits an ADU can provide while you build your brand-new home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cost-Efficiency<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Building a dream home represents a substantial financial commitment and involves various expenses. Opting to reside in an ADU on your property enables savings on additional rent or temporary housing costs during your primary residence&#8217;s construction. And you can make the most of it in the future, too! One of the best advantages of an ADU is that you can still utilize the space as an in-law\/guest suite or rental property after your primary residence is built. Think of it as an expense that will be paid back later!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/11102-front-rendering.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"14528\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/11102-front-rendering-1024x640.webp\" alt=\"a simple adu design\" class=\"wp-image-14528\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/11102-front-rendering-1024x640.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/11102-front-rendering-300x188.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/11102-front-rendering-768x480.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/11102-front-rendering-1536x960.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/11102-front-rendering.webp 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/adu1-fp.png\" rel=\"lightbox[14526]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"907\" height=\"695\" data-id=\"14530\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/adu1-fp.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/adu1-fp.png 907w, https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/adu1-fp-300x230.png 300w, https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/adu1-fp-768x588.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 907px) 100vw, 907px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/plan\/1-story-tiny-506-square-feet-1-bedroom-adu-garage-6103\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><em>The Piccola 1 Bedroom Ranch Style House Plan 6103<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Convenient Supervision<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Being on-site during your build gives you the opportunity to supervise the construction process closely. You can address any concerns or changes promptly, ensuring your dream home aligns with your vision. Living on-site can also deter theft and vandalism, safeguarding your burgeoning structure and the materials yet to go into it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although you won\u2019t live directly in the construction zone, remember that you will be quite close by. Be prepared for noise that comes along with building! Of course, most activity will occur during regular working hours, so you&#8217;ll miss a lot of it unless you work from home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/3954-v2.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"415\" data-id=\"14534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/3954-v2.webp\" alt=\"live in an adu like this modern garage apartment to save money\" class=\"wp-image-14534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/3954-v2.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/3954-v2-300x208.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/adu2-fp1.png\" rel=\"lightbox[14526]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"612\" height=\"504\" data-id=\"14536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/adu2-fp1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/adu2-fp1.png 612w, https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/adu2-fp1-300x247.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/adu2-fp2.png\" rel=\"lightbox[14526]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"614\" height=\"502\" data-id=\"14537\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/adu2-fp2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/adu2-fp2.png 614w, https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/adu2-fp2-300x245.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/plan\/mercer-9825\/#floor-plan-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><em>Mercer 1 Bedroom Contemporary Style House Plan 9825<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shorter Commutes<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>If your new home construction is on the property where you already live, you&#8217;ll have no commute to the building site. It may seem minor, but many homeowners struggle to find time to visit during construction with everything else going on in their lives. So, cut the commute to save valuable time and reduce stress during the building process! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps you&#8217;re building your dream home closer to work? An ADU is a superior choice to reduce your commute than if you had to stay further from the office during your construction phase. You could enjoy that shorter driving time even sooner! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/7210_front_rendering_9147.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"14542\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/7210_front_rendering_9147-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"a contemporary garage with a studio apartment on top\" class=\"wp-image-14542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/7210_front_rendering_9147-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/7210_front_rendering_9147-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/7210_front_rendering_9147-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/7210_front_rendering_9147.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/7210_main_floor_plan_9145.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"908\" height=\"950\" data-id=\"14541\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/7210_main_floor_plan_9145.webp\" alt=\"a simple garage plan\" class=\"wp-image-14541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/7210_main_floor_plan_9145.webp 908w, https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/7210_main_floor_plan_9145-287x300.webp 287w, https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/7210_main_floor_plan_9145-768x804.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 908px) 100vw, 908px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/7210_upper_floor_plan_9146.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"852\" height=\"950\" data-id=\"14540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/7210_upper_floor_plan_9146.webp\" alt=\"an adu studio apartment over a garage\" class=\"wp-image-14540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/7210_upper_floor_plan_9146.webp 852w, https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/7210_upper_floor_plan_9146-269x300.webp 269w, https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/7210_upper_floor_plan_9146-768x856.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 852px) 100vw, 852px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\"><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/plan\/greenlee-7210\/\">Greenlee 1 Car Garage Studio Apartment Contemporary House Plan 7210<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sustainable Living<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Many ADUs are designed with sustainability in mind.
