Austin Garage Conversions

Two ways to turn a garage into living space.

Convert the garage into a single-story ADU, or keep it and add living space in a loft above — both reuse the slab and utilities you already have.

Common questions

  • How long does it take to build?

    We're still gathering data points on how quickly we can build adus, but on average 6-9 months.

  • Does your ADU service include design/build or construction management services?

    Because ADU is a design-build company we can offer services from concept to keys. Wherever you are in the process - whether it be in the design phase or whether your project is permitted and ready for construction - ADU can help you reach your goals with your ADU build.

General information, not legal or code advice — Austin’s rules change, and what applies to your lot depends on the property. Ask us or the City for specifics.
