A property-specific ADU feasibility study for California homeowners. Zoning, costs, permit requirements, rental income potential — analyzed for your lot, your city, your project.
An ADU feasibility report is a property-specific analysis that evaluates whether your California lot qualifies for an accessory dwelling unit — and what type, size, and budget to expect. ADUscale cross-references dozens of data points from paid property intelligence APIs (Zoneomics, Regrid, ATTOM, and others) and county- and city-level databases to examine your actual zoning classification, setback requirements, lot coverage limits, utility connections, and local permit rules — giving you a data-backed answer before you commit to architectural plans or construction contracts.
Eight self-contained sections, written for the homeowner who wants a verdict — not a brochure. Every section answers a question you'd otherwise spend weeks chasing.
A single number that tells you how viable your ADU project is — scored out of 100, based on your lot, zoning, regulations, and financial potential. This is the answer to "can I build an ADU on my property?" — expressed as a clear, data-backed verdict.
Lot size, zoning classification, existing structure footprint, setback requirements — pulled from paid property data APIs (Regrid, ATTOM, Zoneomics) and cross-referenced with county and city databases. Whether you're in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, or Sacramento — the analysis is specific to your city's rules, not generic statewide data.
Detached ADU, attached ADU, garage conversion, Junior ADU (JADU) — we evaluate every type that fits your property and rank them by size, ROI potential, and practical trade-offs. If you're considering an ADU garage conversion, you'll see exactly how it compares to building new.
Total project cost range (conservative to optimistic), broken down by construction, permits, design, and contingency. Plus: projected monthly ADU rental income, property value uplift, and payback period. The ADU cost calculator you've been looking for — except it's based on your actual lot, not California state averages.
Parking requirements, coastal permits, CEQA compliance, local jurisdiction rules, ADU setback requirements — each checked against your specific property using live regulatory data from Zoneomics and municipal zoning databases. You'll see exactly what stands between you and a building permit in your California city.
Risks categorized as low, medium, or high — so you know what to watch out for before you hire anyone. Easements, HOA restrictions, utility constraints, environmental flags, and title issues that could delay or block your ADU project.
Real ADU permits issued near your address — with dates, descriptions, and locations. Proof that your neighborhood already supports ADU development. If ADUs are getting approved on your street, that's the strongest signal your project is viable.
