Making ADU Construction Effortless: The New England Additions Advantage
Building an ADU can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. That’s where New England Additions, a division of Sordan Construction, transforms the process into something remarkably straightforward, making ADU construction effortless.
Pre-Designed Models Built for New England
New England Additions delivers the quality of a custom build without the endless decisions, offering pre-designed floor plans that actually work, timeless finishes, and budgets that won’t surprise you. Our approach removes the paralysis of infinite choices while maintaining the quality you demand.
Four Thoughtfully Designed Layouts for Effortless ADU Construction
Choose from models specifically designed for different lifestyles and needs. Each layout has been refined to maximize functionality and comfort within the size constraints of ADU regulations.
Site-Built Quality
Every New England Additions model is site-built using traditional methods and high-quality materials—no prefabricated components that compromise durability or customization. This means your ADU will stand the test of New England’s demanding climate and last for generations.
Streamlined Finishes Designed for New England
New England Additions has curated finishes that balance style, durability, and value, including low-maintenance siding, durable roofing designed for New England’s climate, energy-efficient windows, timeless hardwood flooring, quality cabinetry, and durable countertops.

Understanding the Investment
For a 900 sq ft ADU, homeowners can expect to pay between $275,000 and $450,000, including structural work, plumbing, electrical, and finished materials. While this represents a significant investment, consider it against the benefits: potential rental income of $2,000-$3,000 per month in the Greater Boston area means you could recoup your investment while simultaneously increasing your property value.
Financing Options
Homeowners commonly finance ADUs through HELOCs, cash-out refinancing, construction-to-perm loans, or savings. New England Additions can connect you with lenders who understand ADU projects and offer competitive rates.
Navigating Utilities and Septic
One common concern is how utilities work with ADUs. ADUs typically tie into existing utilities at the main house, though some sites need panel upgrades, new laterals, trenching, or separate meters. New England Additions handles all utility coordination and includes this work in your project scope.
For septic systems, whether you need updates depends on your current Title V capacity, and if an upgrade is required, municipalities cannot demand more than state law requires.
Timeline: What to Expect from Effortless ADU Construction
Typical ADU timelines range 4–8 months end-to-end, with the exact pace depending on municipal permitting, design complexity, site conditions, and build logistics. Choosing a pre-designed, code-ready model from New England Additions can significantly accelerate delivery by reducing design iterations and permitting complications.
