01
Property assessment
We review the lot, public records, visible constraints, utility questions, and the owner’s goals before design begins.
Austin ADU planning and residential design-build
Unlock your Backyard.
Evaluate, plan, and build the right ADU for your property. We begin with the lot, identify the constraints, and define the right next step before plans or construction money are committed.
Free and directional. Not a survey, permit approval, or guarantee. Serving homeowners in Austin, Texas.
Company: ADU Nation
Industry: Residential construction and consulting
Primary market: Austin, Texas
What you receive
A free, honest first read on your lot.
Answer a short set of questions about the property you own or are considering. No plans, deposit, or construction commitment is required.
- A directional opportunity signal for your lot: strong signal, potential fit, needs review, or constrained.
- A plain list of positive signals, visible constraints, and what is still unverified.
- A clear next step. The free assessment is directional; the $300 preliminary feasibility review adds team research and a consultation.
Who follows up: a member of the ADU Nation Austin team reviews your submission and follows up by email to discuss whether a property walk or the $300 review makes sense. We do not promise a specific response time.
Could an ADU fit in your backyard?
See what a free lot assessment can tell you. Here’s an example for an Austin homeowner considering a one-bedroom rental.
Your lot deserves a closer look.
Your backyard may have room for an ADU. Let’s look at your survey, trees, property lines, and access to see what could work for you.
Property at a glance
- Austin lot: 5,000–8,000 square feet
- Homeowner owns the property
- No known HOA
- Large trees on the lot
- Survey not yet available
What looks promising
The lot size makes an ADU worth exploring, and the homeowner hasn’t reported an HOA restriction.
What we need to check
A survey will help identify property lines and easements. We’ll also need to check required setbacks, tree locations, utilities, and construction access before recommending a size or layout.

Example assessment. Final options depend on a review of your property and local requirements.
What we do
Property-first ADU development services.
Every site is different. Setbacks, access, utilities, trees, drainage, easements, permitting, and budget can change the right solution. Our process is designed to surface those facts early.
02
Planning and preconstruction
We turn the property findings into a practical path for due diligence, design, permitting, pricing, and construction.
03
Residential design-build
Qualified projects can move from property review into a defined proposal and coordinated ADU construction process.
How it works
Start with the lot. Build from verified information.
The free assessment captures the property and owner goals. The $300 Preliminary Feasibility Review adds team-reviewed public research and a consultation. Projects that warrant deeper work can then move into due diligence, design, pricing, permitting, and a written construction proposal.
Operating standards
- Property-specific review instead of one-size-fits-all plan sales
- Clear separation between verified facts, estimates, and open questions
- Written scope and pricing before construction commitments
- Direct communication with an Austin-based residential building team
