Planning ranges, not a bid
Oakland planning ranges for ADU construction
These are planning ranges for Oakland homeowners before a provider calls. They are not averages for Alameda County and they are not a quote from Oakland ADU Builder.

Interior suite
The smaller path
Space inside the house, not a new building. In Oakland the provider still has to see the house.
Garage to living space
Tens of thousands and up
Depends on slab, structure, and whether you add a kitchen. In Oakland the provider still has to see the house.
Detached new unit
Often $150,000 and up
Before a steep Oakland hillside or a long utility run. In Oakland the provider still has to see the house.
What moves the number
- House type and access in Oakland, including anything unusual about the lot.
- How long the problem has been going on, and whether it is still active.
- Access: a tight closet, a finished room, a hill lot, or a slab.
- Permits and any association rules, which the provider handles, not us.
