Backyard DADUs,
built strategic.
Washington just made
backyards buildable.
House Bill 1337 swept the old rules off the table statewide. Owner-occupancy gone. Up to two ADUs per lot. Parking minimums cut. If you own a lot in Pierce, King, or Thurston, your backyard is now an income property waiting to happen.
Per lot, by right
Build a DADU for rent and keep the option for a second unit. Density the state now requires cities to allow.
Rent both, live neither
You no longer have to live on-site. Run it as a pure investment — long-term tenant, mid-term, or short-stay.
Condoize the DADU
HB 1337 lets you split the DADU onto its own title and sell it separately from the main house — its own deed, its own mortgage, its own buyer.
What "condoization" means for you
Instead of one parcel with two structures, a unit-lot subdivision or condo declaration gives the backyard DADU its own legal lot. That unlocks three exits from one build: rent it for monthly cash flow, refinance the equity once it's its own asset, or sell it outright to a first-time buyer priced out of a full house. One footprint, three ways to win — and we engineer every plan with that split in mind.
Built in a factory. Set in a day.
-
01
Weatherproof build
Framed indoors, climate-controlled. No rain delays, no warped lumber, no open hole in your yard for months.
-
02
Half the timeline
Factory and permitting run in parallel. Crane sets the unit in one day — keys in about five months, not eighteen.
-
03
Massive cost savings
Factory volume + no weather loss + no change orders runs 30–40% under stick-built.
-
04
Fixed price
One number, locked before we break ground. Same price in Pierce, King, and Thurston. No surprises.
