The RND Builders
Process
1. Initial Walk-Thru & On-Site Consultation
Before any plans are drawn and designs started, RND Builders sets up an initial consultation & walk-thru of your garage. We want to understand your goals and vision for the garage conversion and address any concerns regarding the timeline and budget for the project. We aim for transparency between you and our staff and focus on communication to ensure you are in the loop with your project.
2. Design, Fixtures, Materials
With the initial consultation completed, the next phase is creating the design for the new space. You’ll meet with an expert from the RnD Builders design team to go over the design of your garage conversion. We’ll discuss the space layout and how to optimize it for your intended use, whether it’s an extra bedroom, a new office space, or a standalone Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU).
We’ll also discuss other details, such as lighting fixtures, flooring, etc. We focus on using top-of-the-line fixtures and working with reputable brands so you can be confident that you are getting the best quality in all aspects of the project.
After the design session, our design team will send you a working 3D model to see how the finished design will look in the space. You can also make changes and adjustments to the model, which will be updated until the design is finalized.
3. Building Phase
Once the design is finalized, we can begin work on your garage conversion. During this phase, RND Builders will assign a dedicated project manager as the main point of contact between you and the RND Builders team. The project manager will be able to answer any concerns and relay those concerns to the RND Builders staff, as well as give updates regarding the status, budget, and project timeline.
Former RnD Builders clients continue to come back and work with us because they trust our process and guarantee that your garage conversion will be finished in three months.

How Long Does a Garage Conversion Take?
As mentioned, RND Builders guarantees that your garage conversion will be finished within three months of the first day of construction. When the design is finalized, your dedicated project manager will provide a personalized timeline for the project and an estimated finish date. The timeline and finish date will also be updated based on other variables, such as the availability of materials, local building codes, and contractor availability.
How Much Does A Garage Conversion Cost?
The cost of garage conversions varies from project to project as each project is different in size and scope. For example, the price of a conversion into a simple bedroom will be significantly lower than a conversion where the end goal is to convert the garage into an Accessory Dwelling Unit. RnD Builders offers competitive pricing with amazing quality for affordable prices, beginning as low as $30,000 for a complete conversion into a simple bedroom.

What Is an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)?
An Accessory Dwelling Unit, or ADU for short, is an additional unit on a single-family property that may or may not be attached to the main building. These ADUs are fully independent living spaces equipped with their own electrical sub-panel, air-conditioning and heating unit, plumbing and hot water unit, kitchen, and bathroom. RnD Builders has completed many ADU projects across Encino, Woodland Hills, Thousand Oaks & the Greater Los Angeles Area. The ADU projects range from small garage conversions to an independent, standalone unit on the property of the main building.
What's the Difference between an ADU & Garage Conversion?
A garage conversion works by converting the space currently occupied by your garage into a usable living space for you. That living space can be various things, such as an office, an art studio, or an additional bedroom. It can also be used as ADU, but it must meet specific requirements to be considered. As previously mentioned, ADUs must have their own electrical sub-panel, air conditioning & heating unit, plumbing & water heater, and kitchen & bathroom areas. They must also be only 1200 square feet or 50% of the home’s living area, whichever is less.
While ADUs are most commonly converted from garages, they can also be in other parts of the house, such as an attic or a detached addition to the home. Finding a way to have more space on your property can come in a lot of different forms.
