ADU vs. Home Addition: Which is Right for the South Shore, MA
Design & Build ADUs on the South Shore
As of February 2, 2025, Massachusetts law now allows ADUs up to 900 sq ft to be built by-right in single-family zones — eliminating the need for special permits and making ADUs more accessible to homeowners statewide. * Some towns may have restrictions
An Accessory Dwelling Unit (sometimes called an in-law suite, granny flat, or backyard cottage) is a smaller, self-contained residential unit built on the same property as your main home. ADUs can be attached, detached, or converted spaces within existing structures such as garages or basements.
They include essential living features—kitchen, bathroom, sleeping area, and separate entrance—providing privacy and independence while staying close to family.

An In-Law Suite is the most common type of ADU — usually built to provide independent living space for family members, such as parents or adult children.
Massachusetts requires specific safety measures for basement and attached ADUs. We install egress windows and separate entryways to ensure your new living space meets all code requirements.
