Rob needed a backyard cottage for his parents to stay in when they came to visit him in Berkeley, so he used New Avenue's system to manage the project and connect with a contractor.

To make room for the cottage, the detached garage behind the main home was demolished.

Building an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) like this one is a smart move. Especially in Berkeley, where housing is in high demand. The ADU can be used as a residence for family or a rental home to bring in extra income.
