68 ADUs with Gwen Bertolami Lysons and Comfort Casitas

Описание: The housing shortage is a big problem in California. One of the ways the state is trying to increase housing inventory is by allowing homeowners to build ADUs with less red tape. Our special guest for today’s podcast is Gwen Bertolami Lysons with Comfort Casitas. She is a structural engineer and builder who specializes in Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). Many people are looking into ADUs but clients who pull the trigger have multiple combinations of usage envisioned for their ADU. She explains who is most likely to want to add an ADU. Listen as Gwen Bertolami Lysons defines what is an ADU vs. Jr ADU vs. pool house vs. storage unit. If you are interested in adding an ADU what are the first steps? What is the approximate price range? What can be some prohibitive issues to adding an ADU? We break down everything homeowners should know before building an ADU.
