ADU feasibility FAQ
- Can I build an ADU on my lot?
- It depends on lot size, setbacks, HOA rules, and your city’s code. Autotelic helps assess feasibility—we do not invent zoning envelopes or guarantee permit outcomes.
- Is the online sizing tool a permit determination?
- No. Lot-aware sizing on /adu/ is illustrative only and is not a permit determination. A clear estimate and local review come next.
- What happens after I start an estimate?
- You move from feasibility into a clear estimate with the same design-build team, then permit coordination and build with a licensed Denver-metro crew when you proceed.
- What will an ADU cost?
- The lot lookup is free. Our ADU cost page shows planning ranges for a detached backyard cottage; your lot, utility connections and finishes affect the price. Start an estimate for your project, or call (720) 287-7958 to talk it through. A fixed-price build proposal comes after feasibility.
- Who builds the ADU?
- Autotelic’s local design-build team takes your project from the first concept through an estimate, permits and construction. You have one team to talk to along the way.
