Q: Should I pay a contractor 50% up front?

• <div><p>Contractors may require a down payment before they begin a project&mdash;especially for those that require a lot of materials. Check with your contractor to see how much they require up front before signing a contract, but they should not ask for more than 50%. Never pay in full before work begins.</p></div>

Q: How much space do you need for a guest house?

• <div><p>The average guest house is between 600 and 1,500 square feet. If you are unsure of how large you should build it, a good basic rule is to have one bedroom for every two occupants, at minimum. Generally, one bedroom for every one to two people is a good ratio. </p></div>

Q: What is a good way to save money on a live-in or vacation treehouse build?

• <div><p>Complex plumbing is tricky and expensive in an off-the-ground dwelling like this. By considering options like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-composting-toilet-and-does-it-work.htm">composting toilets</a>, rainwater collection, and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/want-conserve-water-try-using-grey-water.htm">gray-water sinks</a>, you save money and help the environment. </p></div>

Q: Can an ADU be bigger than your house?

• <div><p>Local regulations dictate how big an ADU can be, and there may also be restrictions on the percentage of the main residence&rsquo;s square footage an ADU can have. In most cases, an ADU must be smaller than the main residence, but check with your local building authority to confirm restrictions on ADU size.</p></div>

Q: What is the most affordable house to build per square foot?

• <div><p>Ranch and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-colonial-style-house.htm">colonial-style homes</a> are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average. </p></div>
