Problem
Many homeowners in California face challenges in expanding their living space due to high construction costs, lengthy project timelines, and complex permitting processes. Traditional on-site construction methods can be disruptive, time-consuming, and often exceed initial budget estimates, making it difficult for homeowners to efficiently add functional space to their properties.
Solution
Samara offers "Backyard," a line of prefabricated Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) designed to provide a streamlined and cost-effective solution for homeowners seeking to expand their living space. These ADUs are factory-built using a best-in-class construction system, ensuring high quality and efficient assembly. Samara manages the entire process, from initial design and customization to permitting, manufacturing, and installation, reducing the burden on homeowners. The ADUs are designed for sustainability, with options for energy-efficient features and solar arrays, and are constructed with fire-resistant materials for added safety and durability. Samara also offers financing options specifically tailored for ADU construction, making the process more accessible and affordable.
