Modern Empathy Prices and Cost
Our price and cost estimates for a prefab ADU from Modern Empathy range from $325 - $513+ per square foot. This estimate is all inclusive, meaning that the cost of the home module, labor, and site work are included. This estimate is based on the cost of ADUs built by Modern Empathy in the San Francisco Bay Area ($120,000 - $500,000+), with all permitting, shipping, and on-site costs included. While Modern Empathy builds homes on a grid, slab, or raised foundation, it’s worth noting that a raised foundation can greatly increase costs. The cost of land and any home upgrades are not included in this estimate. Below, you can find a table of our cost estimates for a finished ADU from Modern Empathy.
