Looking for ADU contractors near Tampa

[Norgon]

We just bought a property in the Tampa area and want to add an ADU for my mother-in-law. We’re thinking a one-bedroom unit with its own kitchen and small deck. I’ve looked online, but most companies don’t specialize in these kinds of builds. Anyone from Florida who’s gone through this and can share some insights? Especially interested in how the permitting process works and if timelines are realistic.

I built a similar unit behind my place in St. Pete last year. Went through the same confusion until I found https://goshentinyhomes.com/ — they specialize in ADUs and handled everything from layout to permits. What stood out was how they adapted their model designs to fit the lot and local zoning rules. Their team explained the whole process upfront, and there were no surprise costs. Build time was about 10 weeks, and they even helped with foundation prep and utility hookups. Have you thought about prefab vs. custom design?

Thanks for that! We were leaning toward prefab to save time, but good to hear custom can still be fast. I’ll check out the link.
