NowHaus

Knowing an expert home builder with a reputation for quality home construction and outdoor construction can come in handy. When a friend asked me for help after a divorce, the NowHaus team and I answered with a modern, energy-efficient backyard studio. We are experts in home construction and home additions, and we’re particularly good at constructing detached studios. With a new accessory dwelling unit and landscaping now part of his home, that friend began earning rental income and took his books from red to black as soon as the full-time residence was ready.

Maximize Your Investment

You can use a NowHaus Accessible Dwelling Unit, also known as secondary dwelling unit or granny flat, a small and well-built structure in your backyard to help you utilize your yard for utility, enjoyment or earning rental income. Your addition to the Eugene and Lane County, Oregon housing markets is a great opportunity to earn a return on your investment.

Expert builders, my team and I took great care to use every available inch of the site. We honed those skills over decades of construction, building hundreds of quality houses. We designed and built the garden studio to meet the property setback constraints on three sides of the building and created a comfortable, beautiful living space.

Accessory Dwelling Unit

Sometimes referred to as a ’Secondary Dwelling Unit,’ or colloquially a 'granny flat,' an ADU is a structure independent of the main home that is habitable. Restricted in size by building regulations accessory dwelling units proved to be popular home additions for people looking to increase the livable space on their property, house an additional family member or earn income by renting the space.

Building Foundation Construction

The NowHaus crew and I know the soils and the weather of Eugene and the greater Willamette Valley well. We leveraged our local expertise to craft hearty foundations that will stay strong and dry under constant pressure from nature’s forces.
