ADUs & STEP ONE: THE FEASIBILITY STUDY - Can I Build An ADU On My Property?

Back in 2017 and 2018, when Accessory Dwelling Units began their meteoric rise, I was getting calls from so-called vendors on how their software could tell a property owner whether or not they could build an ADU on their lot. "How much does this service cost?" I would ask.

"It costs two-thousand dollars, U. S." one guy (based in Australia) said. I laughed, "why would I pay two-thousand dollars for something I could get for free?" Snooty response, I know, but sincere. At that time, like now, everyone was pawning a new algorithm for just about anything. Truth was, I was doing my own "feasibility study," and, although it was always helpful, it still is necessary to see the property with my own eyeballs before evaluating the feasibility of building an ADU on someone's lot.

To this day, I still visit the site, out of necessity, but, prior to that, I go to "Step One," I go to Symbium.com, and, not only do I get important historical data on the subject property, I also get project timelines, construction cost price ranges, and other valuable information. Combined with my own site-visit findings, I create and provide an "ADU Report" and thorough proposal to potential clients -a powerful tool to help property owners with next steps. So, what are you waiting for? Go to Symbium.com and start with Step One, or don't. You can always call us and we'll do Step One for you as well as answer any other questions or concerns you may have.
