Overview
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) have become a critical housing solution in the United States, driven by housing shortages and evolving family structures. Many states have expanded ADU-friendly policies, yet most homeowners never move beyond early interest.
The challenge is not design, it is navigating uncertainty across regulation, finance, and risk. XBuild reframes ADUs as a deployable, decision-driven product system.
