Los Angeles ADU Tour
We’re running an ADU Tour in Los Angeles and it’s going to be a blast!
Learn more about ADUs and meet the homeowners, builders, and designers who built them. We’re aiming for 10+ ADUs in a couple clusters in different parts of Los Angeles.
Tour 10+ Real ADUs in the Los Angeles-area
You are curious about Accessory Dwelling Units:
How much do ADUs really cost?
How do you find the right designer?
How do you find the right builder?
How long does it take to plan, permit and build the ADU?
How does a 700 sq ft ADU look and feel when it's done?
The ADU Tour is our FAVORITE way to learn the answers to all your questions and more.
And then we make sure you have a chance to meet people who will be able to answer all your questions...
Meet experienced builders, designers and homeowners
In our experience, having a real homeowner on the property to describe the process is a very valuable resource.
They have a relatable perspective on the whole process. They also know the all-in costs (not JUST construction), the time they invested in the project, and all the surprises along the way.
We also love to have a builder or designer/architect at each ADU on the tour because you can ask questions about how they worked on this real ADU project you're visiting.
It's normally a real hassle to interview multiple designers and builders, and try to get accommodations to see one of their finished projects. But this tour will get you over 10 ADUs all in one day.
The Best Way To Start
Whether you're just starting to dream of an ADU or you're very deep in the research, nothing beats seeing finished ADUs and talking to the people who made them a reality.
We believe that ADUs are going to be a big part of solving the affordable housing crisis in the Bay Area, and we hope to inspire many of you to plan and build ADUs.
This event is organized by Inspired ADUs and How To ADU. Inspired ADUs is a specialized architecture firm with dozens of ADUs completed in the Bay Area. How To ADU provides free educational videos and resources about ADUs. We are inviting all of our colleagues to this event so that you can see their work first-hand. This won't be an elaborate sales pitch for a single ADU company!
What are you waiting for?!
The early bird pricing for this event is a steal at $25/ticket.
Years from now, you'll still remember the ADUs you saw on the tour, and you
Where exactly will the ADUs be?
We carefully select ADUs around the LA Area to show all the shapes and sizes they can come in.
Right now, we’re visiting dozens of ADUs to curate a tour that will showcase the real flexibility and range of costs and outcomes when you’re planning and building an ADU.
It currently looks like we’ve got a few possible clusters of ADUs forming in North Hollywood / East Valley / West San Fernando, and then a cluster down in Long Beach.
If you buy early bird tickets, there’s a very generous refund policy because we are still organizing the tour - so grab your tickets at the early bird discount and you can ask for a refund if the ADU clusters aren’t close enough to you when we announce them!
ADU ACADEMY AND MORE EVENTS
The same week as the ADU Tour, there will be a number of other ADU-related events in the Bay Area.
For ADU professionals, I highly recommend registering for the ADU Academy (use code howtoadula to save) and you’ll get a ticket to the tour included in your registration.
