GAR Construction LLC provides ADU and DADU construction services for Arizona homeowners who want to create additional living space, guest accommodations, rental opportunities, or multi-generational housing on their property.
Accessory dwelling units give homeowners a practical way to add private living space for family, guests, aging parents, adult children, or future rental opportunities. GAR Construction LLC helps support ADU and DADU projects with planning, construction coordination, framing experience, and attention to how the new structure functions with the existing property.
ADUs and DADUs can support family living, guest accommodations, rental opportunities, private workspaces, and long-term property flexibility. GAR Construction LLC helps homeowners explore practical accessory dwelling options based on site layout, function, privacy, utilities, and construction needs.
Attached accessory dwelling units connect to the main home while creating additional private living space for family, guests, or future flexibility.
Detached accessory dwelling units create standalone living spaces that offer privacy, independence, and more separation from the primary residence.
Guest-focused ADUs provide comfortable accommodations for visitors while giving them privacy, convenience, and separation from the main home.
In-law suites support multi-generational living by creating private, accessible, and functional living areas for family members.
ADUs and DADUs may create flexible rental opportunities depending on local regulations, property layout, occupancy rules, and long-term homeowner goals.
Accessory structures can also serve as quiet workspaces, creative studios, hobby rooms, fitness areas, or private retreats separate from the main home.
Both attached and detached accessory dwelling units create valuable additional living space, but each offers different benefits depending on your property layout, privacy goals, household needs, and long-term plans. Understanding the differences can help determine which option is the best fit for your project.
Attached accessory dwelling units connect directly to the primary residence while providing separate living accommodations. They are often a practical choice for homeowners who want additional space while maintaining close access to family members or guests.

Ideal for aging parents, adult children, caregivers, and multi-generational living arrangements.
Can simplify access to utilities, pathways, and portions of the existing property layout.

Detached accessory dwelling units function as standalone structures located elsewhere on the property. They often provide greater separation, privacy, and flexibility for homeowners seeking independent living space.

These answers help homeowners better understand ADU and DADU planning, permitting, construction considerations, and what to expect when adding a secondary living space to their property.
An ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) is attached to the primary residence, while a DADU (Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit) is a separate standalone structure located elsewhere on the property.
