What are the trickiest parts of ADU laws and regulations that people in Rhode Island often find confusing, and how do you help them understand it all?
Previous to 2024, ADU construction in RI seemed daunting and cluttered with red tape and bureaucratic roadblocks. With the introduction of Senate Bill S2998A / House Bill H7062A, ADU construction in RI became just as smooth of a process as any other construction task homeowners face and contractors tackle. The red tape was removed, and ADU construction became an opportunity for actual property generating income, and gave RI homeowners the ability to make smart investments that will help them fight the rising cost of home ownership in our beautiful state and add smart, attractive changes to their property that will add multiples on the dollar to long term equity in their property!

How does your deep knowledge of ADU laws and rules in Rhode Island directly benefit your customers when they work with you?

These combined makes OS ADU'S your absolute best choice when not only investing in your home, but investing in a company that will provide you with all the tools necessary to see maximum ROI on your residential project.

And when that point has come, your vision has now added an immense amount of market value to your home.

What are the most common questions or concerns people have about ADU laws before they start a project?
Will my neighbors complain to my municipality if I am renting an ADU on my property. This question always arises. That is why it is so important to work with a team that thinks of ALL aspects of ADU construction. We will design and work with the natural flow and physicality of the property and surrounding dwellings to seamlessly integrate an ADU that minimalizes impact to neighbors by way of pedestrian traffic, tenant noise, tenant visibility, parking, etc. Your neighbors will see your ADU as any other addition one would add to their residence. And we even work with our clients, if hired to do so, in finding future tenants for their ADU's, if that's whom they choose to occupy their ADU's.

Do you handle all necessary permits and inspections for ADU construction?
Yes, Ocean State ADU's manages all aspects of the permitting and inspection process. Our deep understanding of local regulations ensures that your project complies with all municipal requirements, providing you peace of mind.
