Multi-Unit ADU Services
California law (AB 68, AB 462) allows owners of multi-family properties - duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and apartment buildings - to add up to two detached ADUs plus convert non-habitable spaces (laundry rooms, storage, boiler rooms) into additional units equal to 25% of existing units. This means a 10-unit apartment building could potentially add two detached ADUs plus two interior conversions.
CCS Inc. specializes in maximizing unit counts on multi-family properties, helping landlords and investors significantly increase rental income. Our team analyzes your property's layout, lot coverage, setbacks, and utility capacity to determine exactly how many units can be added and where they should be placed for optimal return on investment.
Multi-unit ADU projects require careful coordination with building departments, utility companies, and sometimes fire departments. CCS manages the entire process - from feasibility analysis and architectural design through permitting and construction - ensuring every unit meets code and is positioned for maximum rental potential. We have extensive experience with LADBS, LA County, and municipal building departments throughout Southern California.
Key Highlights
- Add multiple units to existing multi-family properties
