IzzyPack property developers has introduced a fully integrated service for homeowners in the Bay Area of California who want to build an Accessory Dwelling Unit on their main property.
The company’s expanded service provides assistance with planning, supplying free estimates, and helps with obtaining financing. In addition, they will bring in professional, reputable builders to carry out any necessary demolition, obtain the required permits, organize the building inspections and construct the actual building.

The newly established service will give homeowners in the San Francisco Bay Area a one-stop-shop that will enable them to create additional accommodation at their main home. The ADU might be used to house a family member that is in need of accommodation or to generate much-needed extra income.
Accessory Dwelling Units can take the form of apartments built over garages, backyard cottages, basement apartments, or be part of a larger home that is converted into separate units. The Newark company provides an initial advisory service that involves visiting the home or premises to help property owners choose the most appropriate and cost-effective unit for a particular property.
The experts will also explain to potential clients the legal implications that must be considered since, by law, an ADU is considered to be part of the main home and cannot be sold separately.
The very different challenges posed by basement conversions compared to building over garages highlights the need for experienced builders and tradesmen. IzzyPack’s building partners will provide professionally drawn-up plans and a schedule of works that details all of the works to be undertaken. The company will organize applications for local government and utility permissions, as well as neighbor permissions where they are needed.
Capable builders and tradesmen with proven track records will remove and dispose of any existing structure before constructing the new unit and fitting it out. Before completion, the new accommodation will be connected to utility services such as electricity and water supplies, plus waste and sewage disposal systems.
The company also supplies the final finish services to turn the ADU into an attractive, welcoming home. This includes basic fixtures and appliances.
More commonly known as “granny flats” or “in-law units” due to their historic use, Accessory Dwelling Units are being increasingly used as an additional source of household income. This is especially true where older couples have stayed in the family-home after the children have left. The additional income is used to supplement their pensions and other retirement income planning.
Homeowners choosing to create additional accommodation in their homes reduce the damaging environmental impact caused by a large property only being occupied by one or two people. Creating a house of a more sensible size, coupled with a suitably proportioned ADU can make a valuable contribution towards sustainability and providing more housing for one of California’s many housing crises.
A spokesperson for the company said: “We’re helping homeowners build new ADUs with our hassle-free and 100% turnkey process. That means no dealing with the city, and no dealing with the permitting process. Our professional builders handle everything – demolition, permitting, inspections, and building – so you can just sit back until we finish the job for you!”
