Adu Construction Ahwatukee, AZ

Every ADU begins with facts, not guesses. We evaluate your Scottsdale property for setback limits, utility connections, zoning compliance, and design fit within your lot size.

Scottsdale's regulations require separate metered electrical and gas lines for your ADU. We confirm your property can support these separate connections before moving forward. This upfront review prevents costly surprises.

Detached ADUs in Scottsdale must meet specific setback rules—typically five feet from side or rear lines. Attached ADUs have their own height and proximity standards. Our designs fit these rules precisely.

We handle architectural plans, structural engineering, and utility layouts. All drawings are pre-reviewed against Scottsdale's adopted building codes to reduce revision cycles.

Scottsdale requires a pre-application meeting, detailed plan submittals, and city staff review. We prepare all documents, manage back-and-forth communication, and shepherd your project through approval.

Once approved, you receive your permit and can break ground. We ensure every page of your permit is clear and ready for on-site inspectors.

Construction includes scheduled inspections at foundation, framing, electrical, plumbing, and final stages. We prepare the site for each inspection and coordinate with the city.

Every step is documented. Your ADU is built to code and confirmed in writing by the city before we move to the next phase.

Once the final inspection passes, Scottsdale issues a Certificate of Occupancy. Your ADU is legal, insurable, and ready to use—whether as a guest house, rental unit, or family space.

Scottsdale faces significant challenges related to housing supply and affordability. ADUs offer a practical solution by allowing homeowners to convert existing spaces or build new structures on their property. This increase in supply can help meet the demand for housing without altering the character of established neighborhoods.

An ADU lets you stay in your Scottsdale home while adding flexible living space or income—without selling or moving.

Scottsdale's zoning ordinance was amended in January 2026 to comply with HB2928. The new law expands the ability for ADUs to be built on residential lots. You have legal clarity—no more uncertainty about whether your city will allow an ADU.

Previous legislation restricted the building of ADUs within the operating vicinity of airports. However, the new law reduced the size of those restriction areas and thus expanded areas in Scottsdale where ADUs can be built. Most Scottsdale properties now qualify for ADU construction.
