About us
Welcome to the GatherADU Meetup Group — a community for everyone interested in accessory dwelling units, housing innovation, real estate, design, construction, and development.
This group brings together homeowners, architects, designers, contractors, engineers, real estate professionals, investors, developers, lenders, and local housing advocates to learn, connect, and share practical knowledge about ADUs.
Whether you are exploring your first backyard ADU, legalizing an existing unit, converting a garage, expanding your real estate portfolio, or working professionally in the ADU industry, this group is designed to help you better understand the opportunities and challenges involved.
Our meetups may cover topics such as:
- ADU feasibility, zoning, and property evaluation
- Design, architecture, engineering, and permitting
- Construction costs, timelines, and contractor selection
- Garage conversions and unpermitted ADU legalization
- Financing options, rental income, and return on investment
- Prefabricated and factory-built ADUs
- California ADU laws and local permitting processes
- Real-world projects, case studies, and lessons learned
- Networking and collaboration among industry professionals
The goal of the group is to make ADU development easier to understand, create meaningful professional connections, and provide a space where members can ask questions, exchange ideas, and learn from people actively working in the industry.
Events may include educational presentations, expert panels, project walkthroughs, homeowner Q&A sessions, networking events, and discussions with professionals involved in ADU design, permitting, construction, financing, and real estate.
The group is hosted by GatherADU, a California-based ADU design, permitting, and project management company helping homeowners navigate the process of planning and building accessory dwelling units.
Join us to learn, connect, and help shape the future of small-scale housing.
