How do I know if I can build a guest house in my backyard?

• <div><p>Local zoning laws and building codes will determine whether you can build a guest house in your backyard. These laws may limit the potential location of the guest house on your lot or the size and look of the structure. If your lot isn’t large enough, you may not be able to build a guest house at all. Speaking with a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/home-additions/">local home addition company</a> can help you learn about the local regulations and your other options, such as adding an ADU onto the main house.</p></div>

How long does a green home take to build?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-it-takes-to-build-custom-home.htm">build timeline for a home</a> is between six and 12 months, with timelines pushing toward the upper end of that range if you’re creating a custom design or need a lot of land preparation before getting started. Hiring a general contractor or a custom homebuilder will help speed up the process, as you’ll see fewer delays between different parts of the build process getting done.</p></div>

Q: Should I buy or build an outdoor room?

• <div><p>Prefab kits like a small sunroom for around <b>$20,000</b> or even a basic gazebo roof for as little as $60 can save you big over professional installation. However, you lose the option for customization, and these structures tend not to last nearly as long. As for bigger projects like a deck or patio, you shouldn&rsquo;t go with the DIY route unless you&rsquo;re fully prepped with the tools and know-how to get it done right. Mistakes can be frustrating and costly, so choose a pro if you&rsquo;re looking to eliminate your risk of error.</p></div>

Q: Do architects build houses?

• <div><p>Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-hire-a-general-contractor.htm">general contractor</a> or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.</p></div>

Q: What's the ideal number of rooms for a guest house?

• <div><p>The number of rooms a guest house should have really depends on your needs. A small guest house might only need one bedroom, a bathroom, a living room, and a kitchen. Larger units may have multiple bedrooms and bathrooms. Your local building codes may limit the number of rooms or square footage you can have in a guest house.</p></div>
