We will construct the ADU within your property and if you are confused about the appropriate floor plan for this space, we are ready to discuss it. There are plenty of factors that can impact your floor plan layout. Here are the details for readers.
The square feet area which you can construct for the ADU will be a determining factor as you plan the layout in the granny flat. A detached ADU is eligible to have 1200 square feet of space, but perhaps you are unable to construct that much. Your finances do not permit that much square footage and in this case, the floor plan may have to build accordingly. If the space is really small, then perhaps the studio plan would suit the best. It is an open floor plan, which is perfect for smaller spaces. If you can build more area, then there is the scope to change the floor plan accordingly.
The purpose of building the ADU will also be a determining factor as you discuss the floor plan. Here are some things you need to keep in mind as you decide on the floor plan for your granny flat
