An expanded version of this will appear very soon.
Singe family residential neighborhoods are eligible to build ADUs on their property. There are some guidelines. Here are a few:
They can be no larger than 1,000 square feet, excluding exterior wall thickness, garages, or patios.
All ADUs are required to to have provisions for cooking, sanitation, and sleeping.
ADUs may be rented out.
The original mission of ADA Boomer Construction was to build modest sized, fully accessible spec homes intended, primarily, toward the niche housing market of customers with mobility issues and concerns about aging in place. Custom homes of this nature are welcome of course. In light of the current uncertain housing market and extreme cost variants, the niche has been further defined to build Accessory Dwellings Units, (ADUs), which may serve a very similar purpose.
The ‘brand’ of ADA Boomer will be to construct these small homes using certain high-quality methods, materials, and features to provide highly energy efficient, low maintenance, very burn resistant, and accessibly functional units. Exterior walls are Insulated Concrete Forms, (ICF), using Nudura product, with straight gable trusses, metal roofing, and painted concrete plank siding. Floors will be insulated concrete slab, with radiant heat as an option, standard HVAC is ductless heat pump, the front entry door will be 42” wide, all interior doors will be 36” wide, bathrooms will be roomy enough to navigate with a wheelchair, optional ‘drive-in’ tile showers can be included, all plans will have meaningful storage spaces and a modest sized covered porch or patio.
For customers whose home site will accommodate a small house, separate from the main house on their property, and where zoning and utility connections also allow. An ADU can be an excellent investment and a great place for aging parents or younger adults who can’t quite live on their own, but really don’t want to live ‘with’ their parents. Both these scenarios and multiple others can save exorbitant rent costs paid somewhere else, and/or provide rent income while adding value to one’s property.
At ADA Boomer Construction, Inc., we are committed to honesty, integrity, and transparency in all of our business dealings. We believe in treating our clients, employees, and partners with respect and fairness. We are also committed to sustainability and environmentally-friendly building practices.
Yes, we are in business to make a good living and a modest profit. Book keeping is a closely watched constant, using an independent service. A CPA will review this on a regular basis. Customer deposits will be carefully applied to the items for which they are intended. The owner and all company workers are treated as hourly employees though the owner(s) will enjoy additional management salary. All of these and materials costs will be calculated and included in customer invoicing. All sub-contractor and supplier payments, tax, labor, and other reporting will be done accurately and on time. It is expected that the company will have some retained earnings for each project.
Owner/manager Eric G. Miller recognizes the value of all of these brand features. He has vast firsthand experience in the industry. One project he worked in the Tri-Cities area had him build 85 custom homes over a five year period, scheduling, ordering, designing, dealing with inspections, quality control, customer relations and more on every single home. He will be personally involved with every project. He will do moderate amounts of hands-on work himself but will contract specialty and heavy work with carefully chosen subcontractors, while always being in contact with the owners for scheduling, questions, quality control review, and financial matters.
Eric looks forward to working with you on your project!
Eric G Miller always uses his middle initial because he has met so many other Eric Millers. So there’s that. He grew up as a farm boy in the Yakima Valley and learned a solid work ethic at a young age. His interest in construction was present even then.
He spent years in the supply and design side of the industry selling building materials and hardware, then designing and installing kitchens. His past projects have won multiple awards for design, finish, and innovation. He then became full charge supervisor for a contractor in the Tri-Cities and did an enormous amount of top quality work there. When he left it took a very long time for his employer to find a replacement who could and was willing to cover the same kind of territory Eric did.
When the economic downturn of 2008-09 seemed to eliminate home construction jobs for a time, he did what he had wanted to do for years: went back to finish college. He earned bachelor's degrees in Global Wine Studies and Communications from CWU. His favorite joke about himself is that he has a ‘BS’ in wine. He ran a wine tour business, Wineries Express, LLC for several years. Finding that duty to keep him away from family events every weekend of summer and more he sold that business and started driving school bus for Selah School District. Always having thought his most productive and rewarding professional time was building all of those new houses he never lost the idea of starting his own company. He now feels he has found a good niche and is excited to be on a strong footing personally and financially to push in to this venture.
Eric lives in Selah with his wife, Laura. He enjoys visiting with his science nerd daughter and Laura’s sons, and their kids. He likes riding his big motorcycle, road trips, loves old cars and tractors, with plenty of stories about both. He attends Yakima Symphony Orchestra regularly as Laura has played with the organization since she was a girl. When not at the symphony he listens to Classic Rock and Jazz, loves live music. Photography has always been an interest, video especially as he learns to use his GoPro. He’d like to find someone he can go crabbing and fishing with in Puget Sound. Except for a few years living in California’s Bay area some years ago he has been proud to spend his life in our beautiful Washington State.
The most carefully constructed schedule can become meaningless in a moment if some participant does not hold up their part of the arrangement. Usually these have to do with staffing or supply issues which can happen at any time to any business. Depending on how these situations are handled, this can become a contentious problem. Our owner/manager has extensive experience dealing with these things, and number one, will never lie to you. Even if he knows you may not like the answer.
Constructing a schedule with the bottom line of speed will nearly always get you in trouble. Our approach is to put together a schedule that is of course based on the critical path method, (some things have to be done in a very specific order and others can overlay or be simultaneous), but also has some ‘windows’ built into it so if something does go off the rails there has been a built in attempt to absorb those delays. Knowing your suppliers, products, lead times, and appropriate time required for any given component of the job is also necessary, and management is known for having backup plans for certain things. This is the ADA Boomer Construction approach. The original schedule may sometimes ‘appear’ to take too long, but they usually hold up over time. Much can be written about this, but that is the overview generally used.
Though the restrictions for property use have been loosened regarding building ADUs here, there are still plenty of questions to get answered. For a non-refundable, but part of the entire project total pricing structure, a $1000 up front investigation fee, ADA Boomer will find out if an ADU can be placed on your lot/acreage.
We start with a kitchen table conversation at your property of what you need to develop a plan. We research your property size and parcel number. A simple plot plan is developed. Utility questions are addressed, (water source, usually shared with main residence, and sewer connection and/or septic system size, driveway/parking space or other access, depending on relationship to main structure. Fence details, if any, storm water containment. Are there covenants that may apply... and more...
Order of home starts id dependent on many factors. If you are excited and ready to get a custom home started, let's get you locked in for priority treatment. Yes, a plan will need to be developed and permit processes apply, but with a lot of leads expected in this under served industry, we will focus first on customers who have made a commitment to starting a project. $1,000 as an up front deposit on the total construction price of your project lets us know our time is spent in the most productive way.
We believe in being upfront and transparent about our pricing. We work with you to create a budget that meets your needs and provide detailed cost breakdowns so you know exactly what you're paying for.
At ADA Boomer Construction, Inc., our top priority is your satisfaction. We strive to exceed your expectations in every aspect of the building process, from design to construction to customer service.
