ADUs & Guest Cabins Built to Last and Perform
Whether it's a rental unit for income, a space for aging parents, or a private guest cabin on your property — we build accessory dwelling units that are fully permitted, beautifully finished, and built to the same standard as your main home.
More Than a Structure — It's a Real Investment
ADU demand in northern Utah is growing fast. More homeowners are adding detached units for rental income, multigenerational living, and property value. The Ogden Valley market — with its recreational appeal and premium property values — is one of the strongest ADU markets in the state.
We build ADUs that are permitted, properly tied into utilities, and finished to a standard that commands real rental rates and holds up on appraisal. Not just a structure — a functioning investment.
Fully independent structures with their own entrance, utilities, kitchen, and bathroom — built and permitted as a legal dwelling unit.
High-finish guest cabins designed for the Ogden Valley recreational rental market — Airbnb-ready with premium materials and mountain aesthetic.
Conversion of attached or detached garages into finished living space — framed, insulated, plumbed, and permitted as an ADU.
Connected or detached living spaces designed for parents or adult children — private entrance, accessible layouts, full amenities.
Full coordination of electrical service, water/sewer tie-in or septic, and site prep — so the ADU is fully functional, not just framed.

ADU & Guest Cabin FAQ
What every homeowner asks before building an ADU in northern Utah.
It depends on your zoning, lot size, and HOA restrictions. Weber and Morgan counties have different rules, and some areas in the Ogden Valley have specific overlay zones. We assess feasibility during the site visit and won't take your project if it's not going to get permitted. We won't waste your time or ours.
A detached ADU in northern Utah typically runs $180–$350K+ depending on size, finish level, and site conditions. Utility connections and site work are often the biggest variables — we include those in the Cost Plus estimate so nothing surprises you mid-project.
Potentially — but short-term rental regulations in Weber and Morgan counties vary and have been evolving. We build the unit to support any use you're permitted for. What you can legally rent and at what terms is a conversation to have with your county and an attorney before you build.
Most detached ADUs run 5–9 months from permit approval. Site complexity, utility work, and finish level all affect timeline. We give you a realistic schedule before you sign and track against it throughout the build.
That depends on the project scope and what you want. We can build a fully independent unit with its own meter, or a unit that shares utilities with the main home. We'll walk through the pros and cons of both approaches during the estimating phase so you can make the right call for your situation.
