“One thing I tell every ADU client: the time to add a second bath is during construction, not after. Roughing in a second bathroom adds $4–6K during construction. Adding one after the ADU is complete costs $18–30K in demo, new permits, and finished work. If there's any chance you'll want it, do it now.”
Walk the lot with your contractor before finalizing any ADU footprint. Access paths for concrete trucks, excavation equipment, and material staging dramatically affect construction cost on tight urban lots. A footprint that looks fine on paper may require costly hand-work or street staging permits in practice.
