ADU Construction
ADU, Carriage House & In-Law Suite Construction in Silverthorne, CO, and all of Summit and Grand Counties
Accessory dwelling units (ADUs), carriage houses, and in-law suites provide valuable additional living space while increasing a property’s versatility and value. In Silverthorne, CO, and all of Summit and Grand Counties, these structures are especially popular for accommodating guests, providing independent living for family members, or generating rental income. At Action Builder LLC, we design and construct ADUs and secondary living spaces that integrate seamlessly with the property and meet the demands of mountain living.
Planning an ADU or Secondary Living Space
The planning stage is essential for a successful build. Local zoning regulations, property layout, and intended use all influence the design and construction approach.
Intended Use
An ADU or carriage house can serve as a private rental, a guest house, or long-term family housing. The layout is tailored to its primary purpose.
Site and Utility Planning
Location on the property, access points, and connections to utilities—water, sewer, gas, and electricity—are mapped out early to streamline construction.
ADUs and Carriage Houses
These compact but fully functional homes are designed for independence and efficiency while complementing the main residence.
Detached ADUs
Standalone buildings provide privacy and flexibility, often including full kitchens, bathrooms, and separate entrances.
Above-Garage Units
Carriage houses make excellent use of vertical space by adding living quarters above an existing or new garage.
In-Law Suites and Attached Additions
For homeowners looking to keep family close but maintain privacy, in-law suites are an ideal solution.
Private Entrances and Kitchens
Attached suites can include private exterior access and kitchenettes for independent living.
Accessibility Features
Designs may incorporate wider doorways, walk-in showers, and other features to ensure comfort and safety for all occupants.
