“The detail that kills ADU budgets: underestimating utility connections. If your ADU needs a new sewer lateral connection to the main line (common on lots where the house lateral runs across the back yard), that alone can add $15–25K. We verify lateral location in the feasibility phase, before design starts.”
Specify the ADU meter separately from the main house in your permit application. A separately metered ADU allows the tenant to pay their own utilities and is far more attractive to long-term tenants. The utility company's meter installation adds 4–6 weeks to the project timeline; don't leave this as an afterthought.
ADU Construction in West Hills typically runs 5–15% above the greater LA average due to local labor market conditions and LADBS permit processing.
