South San Francisco homeowners can typically build detached ADUs, attached ADUs, and junior ADUs (JADUs). Detached ADUs are separate structures, offering more privacy. Attached ADUs are part of the main house but have their own entrance. JADUs are smaller units created within an existing single-family home, often using part of an attached garage or a spare room. The specific type you can build depends on your lot size, existing structures, and city zoning rules.
Building an ADU in South San Francisco generally takes between 10 to 18 months from initial design to final inspection. The design and permitting phase usually accounts for 4-8 months, depending on how quickly plans are approved by the city. Construction itself typically runs for 6-10 months. Factors like site conditions, material availability, and the complexity of your chosen design can influence the overall timeline.
The typical costs for an ADU project in South San Francisco can range from $200,000 to $400,000 or more, depending on size and finish quality. A smaller, simpler unit like a JADU might be on the lower end, while a larger, custom-built detached ADU with high-end finishes will be at the higher end. These costs include design, permits, materials, and labor. We provide a detailed estimate after understanding your specific project needs and site conditions.
