Conversion ADU Construction

Hello! I'm Nick Buck, founder and builder of Buck Built. We're an owner-operated general contracting company based in Grass Valley, California.

As a builder from just 10 years old, I am passionate about three things:
1. Buildings that stand the test of time and use.
2. Creating housing & private living spaces.
3. Making sound financial investments.

Call me today to see if your garage, basement, outbuilding or space is a good candidate for a conversion ADU.

Built Right & On Budget.

An ADU can be a surprisingly good investment.

Have a space that could become an ADU?

A lot of homeowners assume creating an ADU means spending $150,000, $200,000, or more. It doesn't have to.

Our recent ADU conversions have landed around $50,000, or roughly $150 per square foot — well below Nevada County's estimated $250–$400 per square foot for typical ADU construction.

One recent ~$40,000 conversion rented for $1,500/month almost immediately — roughly $18,000 in first-year rent.

That's the opportunity: take space you already have, turn it into a comfortable home, create a meaningful source of rental income, and add housing for local residents — without building an entirely new structure.
