Conduct a Feasibility Study
If you're a homeowner exploring the idea of adding a Tiny Home or Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) to your property, one of the most important and often overlooked first steps is conducting a Feasibility Study. This critical step in your journey can save you a tremendous amount of time, money, and frustration by determining early on whether your property can support the addition of an ADU.
A Feasibility Study answers the key question: "Does my house or lot qualify for a Tiny Home or ADU?" It examines the local zoning laws, building codes, utility access, setback limitations, lot coverage restrictions, and more. These factors vary significantly from city to city—and sometimes even block to block—so it's essential to get personalized insights for your specific property.

What to Expect
So, what exactly is involved in a professional Feasibility Study? Here's what you can typically expect:

Evaluation of setbacks, height restrictions, and building envelope parameters.Utilities
Identification of utility connections and sewer or septic requirements.Analysis
Analysis of parking mandates and neighborhood-specific ordinances.Considerations
Consideration of easements, slope, soil stability, and access paths.Discussion
Discussion of your intended use: rental income, family housing, home office, etc.Benefits of a Feasibility Study
Completing this study early in the process allows you to make informed decisions and avoid investing time and money into plans or designs that cannot be approved. It can also provide a roadmap for addressing potential limitations, such as relocating utilities, applying for variances, or adjusting the location of your future tiny home / ADU.
The benefits of a Feasibility Study go beyond the technical aspects. For one, it helps clarify your goals. Whether you're planning to use your tiny home / ADU as a rental unit for passive income, a space for aging parents, or a quiet retreat for working from home, the study will align your vision with what's actually possible on your property.
Stay On Track
Homeowners who skip this crucial step often find themselves having to redesign their project, reapply for permits, or even abandon their ADU goals altogether. In contrast, homeowners who invest in a Feasibility Study typically move forward with greater clarity, reduced risk, and more confidence in their project timeline and costs.
In today's fast-growing market of alternative housing solutions, especially in high-demand urban and suburban areas, understanding your property's potential is more important than ever. Cities are increasingly encouraging ADUs to help meet housing demand, but that doesn't mean every property is ready out of the gate. A professional Feasibility Study bridges that gap and sets you up for success.
