Recent landmark state laws make it much easier to build accessory dwelling units on single-family lots in Rhode Island. However, local setbacks, lot coverage limits, and utility hookups still vary by municipality in cities like Providence, Cranston, Johnston, North Providence, Pawtucket and Central Falls. We handle all local zoning approvals for you.
-
Yes. We specialize in designing ADUs that maximize available space while meeting local zoning and setback requirements.

They must be utilized for multi-generational families or long-term lease tenant
