ADU services via BuildZig’s Proprietary Automated Process

As they describe it:

With the housing shortage at an all-time critical stage, and with costs continuously escalating for home builders, prefabricated Accessory Dwelling Units (“granny units”) are becoming a great solution for homeowners and property owners. Many states are easing restrictions to encourage the fast installation of ADUs.

But the assessment and installation process can still be expensive and complex.

Fortunately, BuildZig has created an efficient, cost effective, and expedited automated process for installation. Buildzig’s automated system allows you to install Accessory Dwelling Units faster, easier, and cheaper.

We developed systems and tools that help move the ADU project forward at any stage. Use our ADU Services to expedite the feasibility, design and permitting process for your project and stay ahead of the competition.

Before beginning the design and drafting process to submit for a building permit, it is critical that all of the zoning information, site layouts, and general design be sorted out. We provide services for any type of ADU projects: new construction, attached or detached, conversion, modular, and remodeling.

Our goal is to provide a reliable and cost-effective service that homeowners, as well as professionals, can use to complete their ADU projects faster, and for less upfront cost and commitment than the traditional process.
