This course offers a ground-level look at what garage conversion ADUs actually involve, covering the permitting hurdles, structural realities, utility logistics, and budget drivers that determine whether a project succeeds or stalls. Across six modules and roughly 60 minutes, you'll learn how garage conversions compare to new-build ADUs on cost and timeline, how to assess whether a specific garage is a viable candidate, and what moves budgets up or down — all grounded in real Sacramento market conditions and seven real-life project examples. Whether you're a homeowner, investor, or design and construction professional, this course gives you a practical framework for evaluating and approaching garage conversion ADUs in California's current housing environment.
