Common questions

Does sharing a bathroom affect the quote?

It can change the plumbing scope. Ask the designer and contractor to compare the actual layouts and confirm applicable requirements.

What should a junior ADU quote distinguish?

Ask the professional to identify the proposed entry, cooking facilities, bathroom arrangement, and associated utility work. Confirm any permit fees and design services separately.

Should I price a private bathroom separately?

If you are weighing different arrangements, ask for a separate written option showing fixtures, plumbing, and any change to the layout. Confirm the proposed arrangement with the agency.
