Build an ADU in Saugus—smart space with a clear process

Make It

Adding an accessory dwelling unit in Saugus creates private space for family, dependable long-term rental income, or a quiet studio—often on larger north-county parcels with long driveways and room for detached placements. MF ADU provides pre-engineered, permit-ready models and a managed path from feasibility to installation—planned for newer subdivisions, occasional HOA rules, and the access/utility distances common across Saugus.

Saugus permitting at a glance

ADUs are allowed on most single-family and many multifamily parcels (site-specific). Typical considerations include setbacks, height, lot coverage, utility locations, parking, and (in some areas) HOA/CC&R guidelines. Portions of Saugus touch Hillside/WUI areas; fire access, defensible space, or drainage details can add steps. Our feasibility check reviews parcel data, overlays, utilities, and access and maps the cleanest route to approvals. (General info; final eligibility depends on your parcel and current city rules.)

What the process looks like

  1. Feasibility & Fit– Review parcel, access, utilities/panel capacity, and the best-fit model.

  2. Selections & Scope – Confirm finishes, options, and site-work assumptions; align foundation, drainage, and utility plan.

  3. Permits & Approvals – Prepare a permit-ready package and coordinate with the city and any HOA/hillside reviews.

  4. Site Work & Installation – Foundation, trenching, delivery/assembly, interior finish, inspections.

  5. Handover – Walkthrough, documents, and guidance for rental or guest use.
