Substantially, the co-operative ADU model allows property owners to implement tract housing style efficiencies in the build process to reduce construction budgets. Teams, including subcontractors, can move from site to site quickly, minimizing mobilization costs associated with individual projects. Co-ADU seeks to support the founding of these owner co-operatives across the region – and ultimately the country – guiding the co-ops through the process of organizing, financing, designing, and construction. The scale of each co-op can vary, and depends in part on the level of interconnectivity between sites and the level of commitment from property owners to a neighborhood co-op.
