Accessory Dwelling Units have become one of the fastest-growing segments of Oregon's housing market, driven by landmark legislation like House Bill 2001 that requires cities to allow ADUs on most residential lots. 3-A Construction, LLC is at the forefront of this movement, helping homeowners across Oregon add manufactured ADUs to their properties for rental income, family housing, aging-in-place solutions, and property value enhancement.

A manufactured ADU offers significant advantages over a site-built accessory dwelling. Factory construction means shorter timelines, lower costs, and consistent quality, while still meeting all Oregon building codes. We install single-section manufactured homes as ADUs on urban and suburban lots, handling everything from site evaluation and permitting through foundation construction, utility connections, and final inspection.

Navigating ADU regulations can be confusing, as requirements vary between jurisdictions even under Oregon's statewide framework. We understand the specific ADU rules for cities and counties throughout Oregon, including maximum size limits, setback requirements, parking provisions, owner-occupancy rules, and design standards. Our team manages the entire permitting process and prepares all required documentation including site plans, utility plans, and engineering drawings.

Site preparation for an ADU requires careful planning, especially on lots with existing homes and utilities. We evaluate access routes for home delivery, identify utility connection points for water, sewer, and electrical, and design the site layout to maximize the use of available space while meeting all setback requirements. Our excavation crews are experienced at working on tighter lots where precision is essential.

Whether you are a homeowner looking to add rental income, a family wanting to keep aging parents close, or an investor building housing supply, an ADU makes financial and practical sense. With 3-A Construction, LLC, you get a single contractor who handles every phase of the project — no need to coordinate between builders, plumbers, electricians, and permit consultants. One Call. One Crew. Start to Finish Done Right.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I put a manufactured home ADU on my property in Oregon?

In most cases, yes. Oregon HB 2001 requires cities with populations over 2,500 to allow ADUs on lots zoned for single-family housing. Many counties also permit ADUs in rural residential zones. We evaluate your specific property and local regulations to confirm eligibility before you invest any money.

How big can an ADU be in Oregon?

ADU size limits vary by jurisdiction. Many Oregon cities allow ADUs up to 800 or 900 square feet, while some allow up to 75 percent of the primary dwelling size. We research the specific rules for your city or county and help you select a manufactured home that maximizes your allowed space.

How much does a manufactured ADU cost?

The total cost of a manufactured ADU includes the home itself, site preparation, foundation, utility connections, permitting, and finish work. Total installed costs vary depending on the home size, site conditions, and local requirements. We provide a comprehensive project estimate after evaluating your property.

How long does ADU construction take?

The permitting process typically takes 4 to 12 weeks depending on your jurisdiction. Once permits are approved, site preparation and home installation typically take 4 to 8 weeks. The manufactured home itself is built in a factory concurrently with permitting, which significantly reduces the overall timeline compared to site-built construction.

Do I need to live on the property to have an ADU?

Owner-occupancy requirements vary by city in Oregon. Some cities have eliminated owner-occupancy requirements entirely, while others still require the property owner to live in either the primary home or the ADU. We research the specific rules for your property as part of our feasibility evaluation.

Can an ADU be used as a rental?

Yes. Most Oregon jurisdictions allow ADUs to be used as long-term rentals. Some cities also allow short-term vacation rentals depending on local regulations. An ADU is an excellent way to generate rental income while increasing your property value.

Does adding an ADU increase my property taxes?

Adding an ADU typically does increase your property's assessed value, which may result in higher property taxes. However, the rental income an ADU generates usually far exceeds the tax increase. We recommend consulting with your county assessor for specific tax implications.

Will an ADU work on a lot with septic?

ADUs on septic systems require that the existing system has sufficient capacity for the additional dwelling or that a new system be installed. We evaluate your existing septic system as part of our feasibility assessment. As a DEQ-licensed septic installer, we can upgrade or install a new system if needed.
