This is our most popular two-story detached ADU. After designing hundreds of ADUs, observing the build process, and listening to owners and contractors, we created this Standard Plan to meet homeowners’ needs, wants, and wishes. It is easy to build and well suited to owner-builders.

Complete Package Drafting also maintains a library of ADU designs and can provide custom designs affordably and on schedule.
