A Faster, More Affordable Way To Get A Better Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)…

Traditional building methods often utilise teams of external trades that are challenging to schedule and almost impossible to monitor, leading to delays and quality concerns. And although ADU’s from online suppliers may look good in the photos, they are variable in quality, often lack insulation (making them unbearably hot and cold) and miss critical components that can add thousands to the final cost.

Our in-house team, along with the off-site factory uses CAD/CAM production methods to assemble your ADU Kit according to a production schedule that is coordinated by the design build timeline established early on in the process so that your move-in date is assured. Typically, your ADU is finished 25% faster. And our fastidious supervisor (who has never failed an inspection in 45 years!) ensures every aspect of your ADU passes our unmatched quality control standards to look better, last longer, and be comfortable all year round.

A decline in the quality of lumber used by traditional stick builders is leading to an epidemic of warped walls with cracks and gaps. In order to meet demand (and increase profits), suppliers are using lumber that is still green. That’s why it requires extra bracing, because as it dries, it twists and buckles causing your walls to bow.

Our Structural Insulated Panels are stronger and more stable. That’s why they come with a full 20-year warranty that ensures every surface of your ADU is perfectly straight and level. This makes construction faster and easier (especially installation of windows, doors, sheet rock, and cabinetry that requires even surfaces), and gives your ADU a superior finish compared to a stick built finish.

In traditional stick building, the walls are hollow. That’s why external walls need to be insulated. Structural Insulated Panels are (by design) already insulated. And because they are used for both internal and external walls, your accessory dwelling unit will be quieter from the outside and more private from room to room. Your ADU will also maintain a more stable and comfortable temperature with less need for heating and cooling systems, saving you significant energy costs throughout the entire life cycle of the home..

Traditional stick building takes months and is often held up by supply chain issues, availability of trades, and changing weather.

Our smarter building solutions (including pre-fabricating elements of your home in a purpose-built factory) have a stable supply of materials, reliable in-house team, and are unaffected by weather. That’s why we can finish your home 25% faster so you can move in sooner (saving you thousands in mortgage and rent payments).

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the building industry generates more than 500 million tons of waste each year. And causes significant air and water pollution. Some studies indicate as much as 30% of building materials are wasted onsite.

Our smarter building solutions utilise the latest in low impact building methods that minimise waste and maximise recycling. With added energy efficiency, resistance to pests, and minimal VOCs (volatile organic compounds), your home is healthier for you and the environment.

Too many people suffer a stressful building experience that runs over time and over budget. But not Green Galaxy clients. We guide you through every step including optimising your design for your property and arranging all approvals. With regular updates and direct access to the owner, you’ll always know what’s happening.

While other suppliers just want to sell you an ADU (whether it’s right for you or not), we have the expertise (triple licensed real estate) and local experience to help you maximize your return on investment. In many cases, our clients find their ADU instantly adds double the construction cost to their property value.

Too many homeowners are lured in by low prices (especially when buying online) only to be hit with extras that add thousands to the price. Many builders also boost profits by cutting corners on the things you can’t see (important things like the foundation and frame that keeps your home stable).

Our pricing is honest and transparent so you know exactly what you’re getting and precisely how much it will cost.

Over the past 20+ years we’ve had the honour of helping dozens of Bay Area homeowners add an accessory dwelling unit to their property. We’d love to help you too – even if that’s answering your questions and sharing our experience to help you get the ADU you want.
