Create Space. Add Value. Build an ADU with Confidence.

Whether you need a guesthouse, rental income, or room for family, we guide you through every step of building an ADU, leveraging deep expertise in Omaha’s zoning and permitting.

Smart Space That Solves Real Problems

You love your home but need more space. Or you want to generate extra income without moving. Building an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is one of the smartest ways to create flexibility and long-term value, but the process can feel overwhelming.

Zoning rules, permitting, and costs leave many homeowners unsure where to start. That is where Platte + Pine comes in. We make the process clear and predictable so you can confidently create a space that fits your needs and adds lasting value to your home.

What It Might Cost

Modest ADU conversions start around $60,000 to $90,000, which would include adding space above a garage or converting an existing basement with minimal structural changes.

New standalone ADUs can range from $120,000 to $200,000+ as the build goes ground-up with full kitchens and baths, utility tie-ins, or finishes to match the primary dwelling.

Check out our Blog: “The Real Cost of Building an ADU” for an in-depth look at the line-by-line cost to building a project.

Price drivers include:

  • Whether you’re converting existing space or building new

  • Utility access and ability to pull on existing plumbing, electrical, and HVAC

  • Square footage and number of bedrooms/bathrooms

  • Kitchen scope (kitchenette vs. full kitchen)

  • Permit and zoning considerations in your area

The Value It Adds

ADUs are one of the fastest-growing forms of residential investment. Depending on finish and rental potential, homeowners can recoup 60-100% of build costs, with even higher returns for rental income.

But the value goes beyond dollars. ADUs add flexibility for aging parents, adult children, guests, home gyms, or custom spaces like golf simulators and home offices. They unlock potential in your property without sacrificing comfort or privacy.
