When you are thinking about doing a garage conversion or to build an ADU at your Los Angeles home, the first two things you think about are time and money, and usually they occur in a sequence.  First you think of how much money it will cost you, then how much time it will take.  The next pattern will only come to you if you are planning on renting the unit which is how much will you from renting and how long until the money pays off the project.  

Converting A Attached Or Detached Garage In Los Angeles

Out of your two possible ways, converting your Los Angeles garage is more quick and cheap way to add extra space and money to your homes.  The time frame for a Los Angeles garage conversion is typically between 1-2 months because you already have a foundation, 3 walls and a roof to work with, due to your garage already existing. Adding electrical, plumbing, floor long and such takes less time when you already have a base. The decorating phase can be quicker depending on how much detail and items you plan on adding.  ADU's will take longer as the building will come from the ground up.

Building A Custom ADU In Los Angeles From The Ground Up (scratch) :

An ADU on the other hand can take longer to build, roughly around 3-4 months because you are starting from the ground up.  Building an ADU is a more in-depth project and requires more attention and permits from your local city. Once building begins it takes days for each step and is often weather permitting, which could add time to your project.
