Construction Corps provides accessory dwelling unit construction services for homeowners seeking fully permitted, code-compliant secondary residences on existing properties.
An accessory dwelling unit is a self-contained living space with its own kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area constructed on the same lot as a primary residence. These units may take several forms, including detached backyard cottages, garage conversion units, attached home expansions, or in-law suites integrated with the primary residence.
In Clearwater and throughout Tampa Bay, ADU buildings are fully regulated residential structures subject to zoning requirements, structural engineering standards, setback limits, flood zone compliance, energy code regulations, and municipal inspections. Unlike informal conversions, a compliant ADU is constructed to residential building standards similar to a primary home.
