Cost to build a one-bedroom, one-bathroom backyard cottage with kitchen in Berkeley
Rob needed a backyard cottage for his parents to stay in when they came to visit him in Berkeley, so he used New Avenue's system to manage the project and connect with a contractor.
To make room for the cottage, the detached garage behind the main home was demolished.
Building an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) like this one is a smart move. Especially in Berkeley, where housing is in high demand. The ADU can be used as a residence for family or a rental home to bring in extra income.
This ADU makes efficient use of the space available and includes tasteful finishing touches that make life easier.
The total construction cost for building this one-bedroom, one-bathroom ADU in Berkeley was $144,060.78 at the time of the project. In 2020, this would cost $165,670.00. You can view the entire construction budget below.
