From planning to permits to move-in ready—Square Point Builders transforms your unused yard space into a functional and valuable Living Space. Whether it’s a backyard cottage, garage apartment, modern studio, or Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), we build straightforward, high-quality spaces designed for everyday use.
An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a compact, self‑contained home that sits on the same lot as your primary residence. It has its own entrance, kitchen, bath, and living space—perfect for:
Rental income (long‑term lease or daily Airbnb)
In‑law suite for aging parents or college‑age kids
Home office / creative studio free from household distractions
Guest house that keeps visitors close yet independent
Garage or basement conversion that unlocks existing square footage
No two backyards—or families—are the same. From compact studios to spacious cottages, ADUs can be tailored to earn rental income, house loved ones, or carve out quiet work space right on your property. Explore a few popular layouts below to spark ideas.
