Questions about work like this
Does EMAE & Sons build detached ADUs?
Yes. EMAE & Sons Inc builds detached accessory dwelling units as complete homes, including kitchen, bathroom, heating and cooling and a separate entrance. The unit in Newbury Park is a finished example, and the firm holds Class B General Building alongside Class A General Engineering.
Does an ADU need its own kitchen and bathroom?
Yes. EMAE & Sons Inc builds accessory dwelling units to California's definition of independent living quarters, which requires a unit to have its own cooking facilities, bathroom and entrance. The Newbury Park unit has a full kitchen, a tiled bathroom with a walk-in shower, and its own door from the side yard.
How is a detached ADU heated and cooled?
EMAE & Sons Inc uses ductless mini-split systems on detached accessory dwelling units. A mini-split needs no ductwork and no connection to the main house system, which suits a small separate building, and it heats and cools from one wall-mounted head. The Newbury Park unit is fitted this way.
Which areas does EMAE & Sons build ADUs in?
EMAE & Sons Inc is based in Thousand Oaks and builds across the Conejo Valley and the surrounding area, including Newbury Park, Westlake Village and Agoura Hills, as well as Los Angeles and Ventura counties more widely. One of its completed detached accessory dwelling units is in Newbury Park.
