Also building ADUs

A home in the backyard. Income for the family.

An accessory dwelling unit is one of the highest-return improvements you can make to a California property. It adds rentable square footage without buying more land, and a well-built ADU can lift a property's value by roughly the income it produces.

That income compounds. A backyard rental can help cover a mortgage, house aging parents or adult kids, and become an asset you pass down, the kind of generational wealth a single lot rarely creates on its own.

Multifamily ADUs take it further. On eligible lots, a duplex or fourplex configuration stacks several rents onto one parcel, the fastest way to turn a backyard into real cash flow. All LADBS pre-approved and built to the same non-combustible steel standard as our homes.

  • Add rental income
  • Build long-term equity
  • House multiple generations
  • Multifamily on eligible lots

As seen on the news

Featured on KTLA Channel 5.

When KTLA Channel 5 covered the Eaton Fire rebuild, the cameras came to 480 W Palm, our flagship steel home going back up in Altadena. It's the same non-combustible light-gauge steel we build every LyteMods home on.

Rebuilding Altadena & the Palisades

Already on the ground in the fire zones.

480 W Palm St in Altadena is our flagship fire rebuild: contracted and in progress. In Pacific Palisades, our structural steel and LGS framing package is part of a multi-million-dollar custom rebuild.

We carry the hard parts of a fire rebuild, the permitting, the insurance scope, and the build itself, so you can focus on getting your family home. Recent California law gives fire-zone rebuilds real advantages on speed and cost, and we walk you through all of it.

  • Fast-tracked permitting for fire-zone rebuilds
  • Fixed-price contract, no post-fire cost surprises
  • Permit Approval or Money Back guarantee
  • Free site & insurance-scope assessment for fire-affected lots

Why factory-built

Better built. Faster delivered. Made to last.

Because every LyteMods home is built indoors from light-gauge steel, you get tighter tolerances, faster timelines, and a structure that's non-combustible by design, without paying for the chaos of an open-air construction site. It's a better home, built a smarter way.

Your walls start as steel coil on our roll-forming line, where one 3D model produces the engineering drawings, the panel layouts, and the studs themselves. That's the factory behind every model in the catalog.

  • Non-combustible steel structure
  • Factory precision and quality control
  • Built in parallel with your site work
  • Delivered complete and installed for you

After meeting with three different contractors in Tarzana and giving each careful thought, I decided to go with ADU Concepts for our ADU project. David was very competitive on price. He really listened to my overall ideas and then worked out a plan that included all the little details I mentioned. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out!!

ADU Concepts built a detached ADU on our Calabasas property and did a fantastic job. They guided us through permitting, construction, and inspections while keeping the project moving smoothly. The finished space looks amazing.

Highly recommended. The quality of the workmanship was outstanding and the finished results of our ADU exceeded the expectations. David and the team were attentive, organized, and quick to address any questions or concerns we had along the way. Their team was respectful of our home and kept the area clean daily.
