Space for Success — Back-to-School ADUs Built for Modern Family Life


Pre-designed ADUs. Smart layouts. Flexible function. A quiet space your family can grow into.

As another school year begins across Massachusetts, many families are once again asking a familiar question: Do we have enough space? Between remote work, multiple children in school, and live-in support, today’s homes are working overtime. That’s why more homeowners are investing in pre-designed Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) to bring balance, flexibility, and comfort to their properties.

At Sordan Construction, we design and build ADUs that fit your family now — and evolve with you for years to come.

Designed for Learning. Built for Life.

We originally created our ADU models as traditional one- and two-bedroom layouts, perfect for aging parents, long-term guests, or rental income. But they also serve a dual purpose. With small adjustments, they quickly transform into study sanctuaries for high school or college students who need focus, independence, and their own space.

And here’s the real value — these ADUs aren’t limited to one season of life. The same unit that works as a quiet study space today can later serve as a first home for a young adult, a guest apartment, or even a future rental.

What’s Inside Our Pre-Designed ADUs

We design each ADU with flexibility, function, and long-term use in mind. Families often use them for one purpose now and transition them later — without the need for costly remodels.

Our standard pre-designed Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) layouts include:

  • Spacious bedrooms adaptable for sleep, study, or both
  • Private entrances for independence and privacy
  • Comfortable living areas with space to focus or relax
  • Full kitchens and bathrooms for real functionality
  • Climate control, sound insulation, and smart lighting

Future-Ready Flexibility 

What sets our models apart is how well they support changing needs. A 800-square-foot ADU might start out as a distraction-free learning zone — but with no redesign, it can welcome an aging family member next year.

We also streamline the process by managing zoning review, permitting, and construction in-house. That means fewer delays and more predictable timelines.

Plan Ahead for a Smooth School Year

Most homeowners start ADU construction in spring or summer, but fall is a great time to plan ahead. Our pre-designed models help families cut through zoning delays and move forward faster than a ground-up design.

With timelines ranging from 12–16 weeks (post-permit), you could have a finished space in time for mid-year exams or early 2026 move-ins.
