Great video as always, some other variables that come to mind: -Seismic Design Category -Basic Design Wind Speeds and exposure category -Snow Loads -Annual Precipitation - both code requirements like rain screens that are tied into climate zone and tons of best practices that are not code required -Soil type/bearing capacity -Prescriptive vs engineered structural design - like you mentioned the idea of moving a wall two feet, is generally much easier if everything is prescriptive, vs the expense and time of having it re-engineered -WUI (Wildland Urban Interface) fire resistant construction requirements -All electric vs using gas - one or the other may be easier or preferred based on existing conditions and individual preference -Roof design - for various reasons from the ability to easily support a solar array, minimize shading, or coordinate with existing architectural elements -Windows - you touched on it, but a big thing is having privacy in bedroom windows
Ryan I want to thank you for all your hard work and support. Another easy to understand video.❤ I’m disabled and trying not to lose my home. I’m trying to build an ADU for myself to live in and rent my main home. I don’t have anyone to help me and I’m wondering where you are and if you do any consulting..? Thank you for your reply if you happen to see this. Thanks again, Sue, a sub of yours for a long, long time.❤ PS I live in Northridge, California and my home is almost exactly at North to west from front to back…if that makes sense.
@@HowToADU I appreciate you taking the time to reply. If you can recommend anybody in the Los Angeles area, or even a Southern Ventura area, it would be very helpful. Have a wonderful day!
First im no expert but I do have eyes and some experience from a long time ago.. construction quality is totally different. Also, many mobile homes, again from the past, will actually come on wheels. Those will be taken off the axle on the subframe and left under the unit when installed on the property.
And then there are Modular’s built in factories, and set on constructed site foundations. Manufactured Home is name of Mobile Homes from the old days. Yes it can be confusing.
I have been drawing and Designing homes, additions and remodels for 19 years. I have 4 ADU plan sets that have been built in the Sacramento area, that I would like to sell on line. Can you help me?
Video description has a link to the blog post with the full list and urls to each plan www.how-to-adu.com/adu-articles-blog/free-adu-floor-plans-if-you-dont-have-an-architect
Thanks for flagging this issue. I tested the link again this morning and it’s working for me. I’m not sure if the problem is browser specific or something else. If you’re interested in learning more, please email ryan@how-to-adu.com
