With Massachusetts' new by-right Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) law in effect, homeowners now have a fantastic opportunity to create additional living space, generate rental income, or provide housing for family members—all without the hassle of extensive zoning restrictions.
If you’re considering adding an ADU to your property, Shelter-Kit is here to help! Our high-quality, customizable home kits make building an ADU affordable, efficient, and achievable—even for those with little to no construction experience.
Why Build an ADU?
Accessory Dwelling Units are small, self-contained homes built on the same lot as an existing house. They can serve many purposes, including: Housing for aging parents or family members Rental income opportunities (subject to local regulations) Guest or vacation space A private home office or creative studio
With Massachusetts projecting 8,000 to 10,000 new ADUs in the next five years, now is the perfect time to start planning your build.
