Frequently Asked Questions

An Accessory Dwelling Unit is a self-contained living space built on the same property as your existing home. They go by many names — granny flat, in-law suite, guest house, backyard cottage — but they all share the same idea: a separate, independent living space with its own kitchen, bathroom, and entrance.

We build detached ADUs, attached ADUs, garage conversions, and above-garage ADUs. Each type has different advantages depending on your property layout, budget, and goals.

Most of our clients are homeowners who want space for aging parents, adult children, guests, or a private home office. If you own your home and have the property for it, an ADU might be a great fit.

Yes. Our founder, Danny E. Davis Jr., is a veteran. The discipline, accountability, and attention to detail from his service are built into how we run every project.

Projects typically start at $230 per square foot, depending on size, design, and finishes. A 400 sqft studio might start around $92,000, while a 1,000 sqft two-bedroom could reach $230,000 or more. Your site evaluation will give you a realistic budget range.

We don't offer in-house financing. Most clients use a HELOC, home equity loan, or cash. We're happy to coordinate with your bank or credit union throughout the process.

The $500 site evaluation fee is credited toward your build if you move forward with a signed construction agreement.

Our standard service includes site evaluation, design coordination, permitting, full construction management, quality inspections, and final walkthrough. Items like land surveying, major utility upgrades, appliances, and furnishings are typically separate.

Eligibility depends on your county's zoning, your lot size, setback requirements, and utility access. That's exactly what our site evaluation determines.

Limits vary by county. For example, Cumberland County allows up to 800 sqft. We know the specific requirements for each county we serve.

It depends on your existing systems. If your property is on septic, Environmental Health must verify the system can support additional capacity. We'll identify this during the site evaluation.

We serve Cumberland, Hoke, Harnett, Lee, Moore, and Robeson counties in the Sandhills region of North Carolina.

A typical project takes 14–20 weeks from signed contract to completion. This includes design, permitting, and construction. Timelines vary based on project complexity and county permit processing times.

Our team visits your property to review the lot, utilities, access points, zoning setbacks, and other factors that affect ADU feasibility. You'll receive a verbal or written feasibility summary.

Yes. We manage the entire permitting process — document preparation, submissions, revisions, and follow-ups with your county's planning and building departments.

We manage noise, access, and scheduling to minimize impact on your daily life. Most of the work happens in the ADU footprint, not inside your main home.
