Ellery ADU Studio in Arkansas

Ellery Adu Studio specialists serve as the design-build arm of the Haven family for homeowners across Arkansas who want a permitted accessory dwelling unit without the usual tug-of-war between designer and builder. Since 2015, we’ve designed, permitted, and built over 900 ADUs, every one of them with a written price before any work started and a documented photo record when the work was done. Arkansas homeowners get that same single-contract model: drawings, permit set, and construction under one roof, at one written price.

Why Arkansas Homeowners Choose Ellery ADU Studio

The most common way an ADU project goes sideways is the gap between what the designer drew and what the builder actually built. In Arkansas, where local jurisdictions vary on setbacks, utility connections, and the definition of an attached versus detached unit, that gap gets expensive fast. Ellery closes it with a single contract. The permit set is the core product, not paperwork we rush through to get to the hammer swinging. When we sit down with an Arkansas homeowner and look at their site, we’re thinking about stormwater drainage on a clay-heavy lot, the actual distance from the existing panel to the new unit, and whether the local code official will want the foundation drawn differently. Those details go into the drawings before a dollar of construction is spent.

We put the price in writing before any work starts. That’s Haven Standard Clause 1, and it’s not a marketing line. Our clients see a flat price, a written scope, and a written warranty before we ask anyone to sign. If you already have an estimate from another design-build firm in Arkansas, we’ll give you a free second opinion and show you line by line where the numbers sit. Every visit includes a documented photo record: what we found, what we measured, what we saw on the site. Not a summary of how it felt.

We work with prefab and modular systems where they serve the project well, including Abodu, Cover, Dvele, Mighty Buildings, Boxabl, Plant Prefab, Tuff Shed, and James Hardie. If a factory-built shell makes sense for the site access and the local building department, we specify it, coordinate it, and bring it under the same single contract. The client never plays middleman.

Our crews are licensed, insured, and background-checked. The license number appears on every page because we’ve never seen a reason to hide it. When the work is complete, you receive a documented photo record of the finished unit alongside the permit drawings it was built to. And if the finished ADU is not built to the permitted drawings, Ellery makes it right. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s in writing before the project starts.

Backed by the Haven Family

Haven was formed in 1998 on a simple observation: most home-service companies don’t fail on workmanship. They fail on not knowing. Not knowing the price before the truck arrives, not knowing who’s coming into the house, not knowing what was found or what was done. Haven wrote five clauses covering exactly that, published them, and made agreeing to them the entire condition of carrying the name. While our Ellery ADU Studio in California - ADU team works on the West Coast, this Arkansas office operates independently, owned and run locally, but every job we take is held to the Haven Standard in full. The price in writing before work starts. A real arrival window with a named person. Licensed, insured, background-checked crews with the license number published. Photographic evidence on every visit. No upsell at the door. A haven is somewhere nothing bad is going to happen to you. That’s the condition every Arkansas client is buying back when they call us, and it’s what the Haven family has been willing to write down and stand behind since 1998.
