Prefab ADUs can reduce design uncertainty—if you plan the site work correctly. Before choosing a model, confirm what’s included: interior finishes, appliances, panel requirements, and exterior tie-ins like stairs or skirting. Clarity here prevents budget creep. Durable, low-maintenance materials reduce long-term stress, especially in high-traffic areas or rental-oriented spaces. When comparing prefab vs custom, use total installed cost and timeline (including permits and site work), not the base unit price. To ground your decision in real steps and costs, use custom prefab adus. Good plans reduce rework; rework is where budgets quietly leak. A realistic schedule includes ordering lead times and inspection windows, not just a hopeful start date. Keep a short list of non-negotiables so decisions stay consistent as options multiply.
