Know Exactly What You Can Build — Before You Spend a Dime on Design
Our ADU Feasibility Check answers every question: Can I build? How big? How much? How long? What's my best financing option? All in one comprehensive report.
Why Start with a Feasibility Check?
Most ADU projects stall because homeowners invest in design before understanding their constraints. They pay an architect $3,000-$5,000 only to discover their lot has a utility easement, their setbacks are tighter than expected, or the project costs more than they budgeted.
Our Feasibility Check eliminates that risk. For $250-$750, you get a complete picture of what's possible on your specific property — and if you proceed with us, the fee is credited toward your build.
What Your Feasibility Report Includes:
- ✓Site measurements and photos — exact buildable area on your lot
- ✓Zoning and setback verification — your district (R-2, TN-1, TN-2, TN-3, RR), setbacks, and the 45% size calculation confirmed with Twin Falls P&Z
- ✓Utility capacity assessment — per Title 10-6-10-B, your ADU must share water, sewer, and sanitation with the primary dwelling (no separate meters), so we verify your home's capacity
- ✓Placement recommendations — best location for your ADU
- ✓Budget range — Good / Better / Best options with cost breakdowns
- ✓Realistic timeline — from design through Certificate of Occupancy
- ✓Permit path — what's required for your specific jurisdiction
- ✓Financing checklist — HELOC, construction loan, and other options
Garage Conversion or New Build?
Not sure which approach is right? The Feasibility Check evaluates both options. If you have an existing garage, we assess whether conversion makes sense structurally and financially — or whether a new detached build is the better investment. You get the comparison in your report.
