“All-In” ADU Cost Exposed: Real Prefab Prices in California
What Does a “One-Stop Shop” Actually Mean in the Market for ADUs?
There’s a lot of loose talk and catchy marketing language in the construction world.
And prefab? No different.
Terms like “turnkey,” “all-in-one,” and “one-stop shop” get tossed around constantly — but what do they actually mean?
We’ll be honest: we use these terms too. Mostly because there isn’t a better alternative yet. But at LiveLarge, we take a lot of pride in offering what we believe is the most complete product and service suite in the industry.
And based on recent conversations with homeowners, it’s clear we need to explain exactly what we mean — and how that compares to the rest of the market.
Why Does Everyone Say “One-Stop Shop”?
Because it’s good marketing.
When you’re adding a home to your property, the #1 thing most people want is a simple, low-stress experience.
That means:
But at events and showroom tours, we still hear questions like:
“Wait, so do you handle permitting?”
“Do I need my own general contractor?”
“What about installation?”
That tells us one thing: the phrase “one-stop shop” has lost its meaning.
So let’s get specific.
What We Mean by “Turnkey”
Here’s what’s actually included when you work with LiveLarge:
In short: we handle everything. Seriously.
We own our own factory. Contracting is in-house. Architecture and design? In-house. The only thing we don’t own is the crane — but we organize all craning and delivery, and we work with the best in the business.

How We Price
We keep it simple and transparent:
No surprise fees. No mid-project change orders (unless you request one). Just clear pricing, from day one.
Where Other “One-Stop Shops” Fall Short
We’re not naming names — but we’ve seen this play out enough times to call it out.
Here’s what many so-called “turnkey” or “one-stop” builders don’t include:
Prefab requires precision. Craning, setting the foundation, securing the unit, connecting utilities — these aren’t jobs for first-timers. Repetition matters. Experience matters.
