Integrated tool provides early-stage insights into construction cost, financing considerations and rental return projections
A digital planning platform has been introduced to support early-stage evaluation of accessory dwelling unit (ADU) projects. Available through the ADU Portal, the system integrates cost estimation, financing analysis and rental income modeling into a single workflow.
ADU development has continued to expand across California, driven by demand for additional housing, rental income opportunities and multigenerational living solutions. Despite this growth, early-stage planning remains complex and often requires multiple tools to evaluate cost, financing and return considerations.
The platform provides a structured approach to estimating construction cost ranges based on property characteristics, unit type, size and material assumptions. Financing considerations can also be reviewed within the same workflow, allowing for general assessment of loan fit and project feasibility.
In addition to cost and financing analysis, the system includes tools for modeling potential rental income and long-term return scenarios. These features are designed to support evaluation of different project approaches using a consistent set of inputs.

Integrated Planning Workflow
The ADU Portal maintains a unified set of project inputs, including property details, scope assumptions and cost variables. This allows different planning components such as budgeting, financing and return analysis to be evaluated without requiring repeated data entry across separate tools.
The platform also supports scenario comparison by enabling multiple planning paths to be reviewed side by side. Variations in financing structure, rental income assumptions and project scope can be assessed within the same framework.
Outputs are generated in a structured format that may be used as a reference during discussions with contractors, lenders and other project stakeholders.
