Serving North Shore Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire
What Is an On-Site Custom Yankee ADU Build
An on-site build is an accessory dwelling unit constructed directly on your property rather than delivered as a modular ADU. This method allows homeowners to customize every aspect of the structure, making it ideal for properties that require a great deal of flexibility.
Yankee ADUs manages the full process, including architectural planning, permits, ADU construction, and final finishing. Every ADU dwelling unit is built to meet Massachusetts and New Hampshire standards and fully inspected for building and energy codes.
When On-Site Construction Is the Right Choice
Modular units are completely customized to your needs and to fit your space. However, for some lots they won’t work: The property needs to be accessible for the wide load carrying the unit, as well as having a crane able to lift the unit onto the foundation. When we visit the site, we will review this. If that is a problem, we discuss building your ADU on site.
Some homeowners may prefer on site construction, and that is always an option. We have found that once the modular ADUs are evaluated, most homeowners prefer modular. On-site means your property becomes a partial construction site for months, whereas with modular the site work is done while the factory is building the unit, so the time to completion is much shorter and much less disruptive.

Navigating Permits and Regulations
Massachusetts and New Hampshire have both passed laws to greatly simplify the process of permitting ADUs. If you have a single family or multi-family home, we can put an ADU on your lot as long as it fits within the required setbacks, does not extend beyond the front of the house and does not exceed allowed lot coverage. Parking must be provided unless you are near public transportation.
