Add livable space, rental income, or housing for family — without buying a new property.

ADUs are one of the most requested construction projects across Albuquerque right now — and for good reason. Whether you're looking to generate rental income, house a family member nearby, or create a dedicated workspace on your property, an Accessory Dwelling Unit gives you options that didn't exist before. The challenge is that ADU construction involves zoning reviews, city permits, utility connections, and a build process that requires experience to manage correctly. At Rio Grande Building and Storage, we've handled every layer of that process and we manage all of it on your behalf.

We build ADUs for residential property owners across Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Los Lunas, South Valley, and surrounding communities. Our scope covers the full project — initial zoning and feasibility assessment, permit acquisition, site preparation, foundation, framing, mechanical rough-ins, insulation, drywall, and all interior finishes through final inspection. Whether you're building a detached unit in your backyard, converting an existing structure, or adding an attached unit to your home, we design and build to meet Albuquerque's specific ADU ordinance requirements. We also offer 3D renderings before construction begins so you can see the finished unit ahead of time.

An ADU is a long-term investment in your property and your financial flexibility. Done right, it adds significant value to your home and creates options that pay for themselves over time. Rio Grande Building and Storage is licensed, bonded, and insured — and we manage every phase of the ADU process so you don't have to figure it out yourself. We offer free estimates and flexible financing on all ADU projects. If you've been thinking about building one, reach out and let's talk through what's possible on your property.
