Building an ADU: A Class for Homeowners
September 3, 2019
$65 – $75Register for this event here.
The goal of this class is to help you build an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) that will augment your property, maximize your space, and add flexibility to your life. This class will help you understand the essential elements of the ADU process from start to finish, which will result in a more beautiful space and will save you time and money.
The process of building an ADU can be complex, overwhelming and expensive and Kol is a homeowner and environmental professional with a passion for ADUs and a lot of practical information to share about them.
This is the first time that this class will be offered in Bend. You’ll walk away from the class understanding:
· The design, permitting, and building process
· Relevant green building approaches and certifications
· Financing, rebates, incentives, cost-saving design/build measures
· Resources, references, and contacts to help you design and build your ADU
Logistics
· The course cost is $145.
· The course will go from 9am – 5pm with a lunch break. The class is going to be a fast-paced course that will cover lots of material. Be prepared with questions and be ready to take notes. I will have some handouts.
· As a class, we visit a couple ADUs in the afternoon after lunch, then return to the classroom to finish up the day
· Oregon Real Estate Agency: 7 CEUs (Topic: Real estate property evaluation, appraisal, or valuation).
