Recognizing the housing crisis, jurisdictions throughout America have made provisions for ADUs to be legally added to private properties, which people are taking full advantage of. It is a practical and sustainable solution that continues to gain popularity, especially in urban areas where housing challenges are predominant. With rising interest rates and the mounting costs of essential building supplies and land, ADUs facilitate people’s housing goals while avoiding the most challenging and insurmountable obstacles associated with conventional methods. For young couples who are just starting to build a family, or even older couples who move in with their children, ADUs offer all of the benefits of homeownership without the inflated costs, construction delays, and funding rejections.

build ADUs with ease because the panels and trusses are shipped ready-to-erect, so they don’t need to allocate a lot of labor resources to the project. Compared to the Boxabl or Stack Home alternatives, the FrameUpNow solution saves the buyer hundreds of thousands of dollars. For example, our 1194 square foot Sandiego ADU sells for just over $29 thousand, saving the buyer well over $100 thousand, compared to the Boxabl or Stack Home models. And, never skimp on elegance. The homeowner can add their finishing touches and be in their new ADU within a few months. For those who have funds in excess of the FrameUpNow ADU cost, they can simply enjoy their savings, or use them on important things such as their children’s education. For those who just want an affordable option, the FrameUpNow ADU is a cost they can manage.
The DIY world is exploding! According to Statista Market Research, the DIY industry was valued at $457 billion in 2020. According to Yahoo, the market is expected to grow to $624 billion by the end of 2026. Thanks to Home Depot, YouTube, and other modern tools and solutions, people are DIYing more than ever before, and yet, industry leaders say we haven't even begun to scratch the surface.
What size are FrameUpNow ADUs & what do they cost?
FrameUpNow provides a perfectly engineered, cold formed steel skeleton/frame in sizes ranging from 384 square feet to 1200 square feet. The cost of our ADUs ranges from $6,800 to $32,000. In comparison, the Nevada-based Boxabl, which Elon Musk invested in, delivers a 600 square foot, turnkey ADU by crane for $220,000. Stack Homes of Salt Lake City offers their Ridgeline, a well-appointed 650 square foot modular one bedroom/one bath unit for $245,000. Essentially, a buyer can get a FrameUpNow ADU skeleton that is comparable in size to a Boxabl or Stack Homes model for about 85% less.
You have a unique perspective on achieving success. Could you please share it with us?
In my journey, I've observed that many talk about their goals, but only a few take the initial steps. Among those who start, only a handful persevere. And among those rare few who persist, only a fraction do so with the same enthusiasm and spirit that ignited their vision in the first place. You have to be constant. Keep your head down & plow through.
