Thinking about adding an ADU to your property but not sure where to start? Hale Design Build’s ADU Starter Guide is designed to help North Shore homeowners understand the possibilities, potential constraints, and key questions worth exploring before beginning the design process.

This practical guide walks you through the factors that can determine whether an ADU makes sense for your property—from possible locations and construction access to utilities, septic or sewer, parking, privacy, coastal or historic conditions, and overall investment considerations. It also includes a simple feasibility scorecard to help you see what you already know and what may require a closer look.
