Questions to resolve
- Which systems or walls require investigation?
- How will rooms be used during construction?
- Which selections must be decided before procurement?
Before a consultation
- Collect any existing plans and a simple sketch
- List non-negotiable goals and open decisions
- Note site access, current uses and utility questions
- Check the city-specific planning links
- Separate your own budget figures from any future proposal
Compare the two paths
Neither path is automatically easier or permitted. Local jurisdiction and site conditions decide what can be built.
| Decision | Whole-home remodeling | ADU |
|---|---|---|
| Primary goal | Rework how the current home functions | Create an additional living space |
| Existing home | Identify rooms, systems and structural dependencies | Assess siting or conversion conditions and utility connections |
| Site questions | Investigate walls, systems and work access | Investigate access, setbacks and local review for this property |
| Living arrangements | Plan occupied zones and temporary facilities | Plan yard or garage access and construction separation |
| First conversation | Bring a room-by-room goal and existing plans | Bring a site sketch, existing plans and utility questions |
Your budget worksheet
Enter only figures you choose. Blank fields count as zero; no prices are supplied by KB. Enter USD with up to two decimal places, without commas or currency symbols.
Your planning figures are not a contractor bid, market estimate, financing advice or guarantee.
