Full Design + Contracting Services

DADU Design and Construction in Nashville, TN

Extra storage, guest space, a private area to unwind — whatever your needs, a detached accessory dwelling unit (DADU) provides the solution. These disconnected home additions are also known as detached garages, in-laws’ quarters and, colloquially, the “she shed,” as they offer plenty of space to live, unwind or store your possessions.

Learn more about our DADU design and construction services below.

Our DADU Construction Process

The Lotus Building Group specializes in DADU design and construction, ensuring you have the professional support and contractors necessary to move from concept through completion. We understand the Nashville DADU requirements and have brought safe, beautiful dwellings to life throughout Tennessee. If you’re ready to break ground for your DADU unit, our team will take you through the process and deliver results on your timeline.

1. Nashville DADU Requirements & Regulations Review

According to Nashville officials, building a DADU requires the support and assistance of licensed contractors and an evaluation from a Metro Codes zoning examiner. Whether you live in Nashville or somewhere nearby, we’ll go through all the rules and regulations with you and ensure your property is up to code for this addition.

2. Permits and Approvals

We’ll work closely with your local officials to secure all the permits and approvals necessary to break ground for DADU construction.

3. Site Evaluation and Pre-Construction

Before we move forward with the construction of your dwelling unit, we’ll visit your property to conduct a site evaluation. We want to make sure everything is in place for us to build your unit as safely and effectively as possible.

4. Design and Planning

While we take care of all the paperwork, our design team will consult with you about the blueprints. We’ll listen closely to understand exactly what you want to achieve with your DADU and discuss whether custom enhancements like countertops and crown moldings are right for you.

5. Construction

Once we’re through with planning, our construction team can get to work on bringing your DADU unit to life! Our contractors, utility professionals and other experts will work side by side to install all the wiring, plumbing and more.

6. Inspections and Approval

Once all the finishing touches are in place, we’ll complete a final inspection and make sure every part of your new space fits local codes, regulations and your preferences.

Benefits of a DADU

Once we finish our job, it’s time for you to start reaping the benefits! With the additional dwelling unit, many of our clients report exciting opportunities, such as:

  • Increased property value: A quality enhancement like a professionally installed DADU can do wonders for your property’s resale value. Increase your home’s square footage and add new features that set your listing apart to potential buyers.
  • Potential rental income: Because the DADU is detached from the rest of the property, it makes an excellent rental space for short-term visitors or long-term community members. Many of our clients build this space to welcome in new guests and supplement their income with a new source of cash flow.
  • Versatile space: Need some extra space to store your holiday decorations and lawn care equipment? What about creating an art room or an entertainment space? Our custom DADUs can be created with versatility in mind so they can evolve as your needs do.
  • Increased privacy: A large family makes for a busy home, and regardless of how much you love the people you live with, you may sometimes find yourself craving some peace and quiet. A DADU gives you the perfect space to escape from the world and recuperate.
  • Environmental support: The Lotus Building Group takes care to outfit every DADU with the latest in energy-saving technology. We’ll give you the space that you want without the strain of extra energy consumption on your property.
