The short version
Every jurisdiction treats accessory dwellings differently — permitted floor area, setbacks, height limits, parking and whether it can be rented at all. Getting that wrong late is the most expensive mistake available on an ADU.
So we confirm it with your jurisdiction first, design to the real ceiling, and then match siding, roof pitch and trim to the main house so the finished building reads as part of the property rather than an add-on.
Free site visit, no obligation
The first walk-through is how we both decide whether we are the right fit. You get straight answers either way.
What's included
Permitted floor area, setbacks and height confirmed with your jurisdiction before design, then submitted by us.
Water, sewer or septic, and power properly connected and permitted — not run off the main house.
Siding profile, roof pitch and trim matched so it belongs on the property.
Kitchen, bath, laundry and storage finished to the same standard as the main residence.
Separate approach and a patio or porch, so it works for a tenant or a family member.
Freestanding, garage conversion or attached wing, depending on what your lot and zoning allow.
Why Bugle
Designing first and discovering the limits afterwards is how ADU projects die. We do it the other way round.
Full insulation, proper utilities and a finished interior — not an outbuilding with a bathroom added.
Matched detailing is what separates a second home from a structure parked in the back yard.
What customers say
“Highly recommend Bugle Construction! We had a portion of our large asphalt driveway replaced with exposed aggregate concrete. Tyler D. met with us, understood our goals and design ideas and provided us with an estimate. He was also a very responsive point pe…”
“I recently worked with Bugle on a covered deck addition to my property. Everyone is stunned by the craftsmanship of the finished product. Pictures truly don't do it justice. Michael set up all the moving pieces for any subcontractors and was transparent and f…”
“Bugle Construction did a beautiful job with our timber wrap around covered porch, and window eyebrows. We couldn’t be more pleased with how it turned out! They started the job in the middle of the winter months and had some zero degree days to deal with. They…”

The money question
We do not publish prices, because a number without your site behind it is a guess — and the ones you see advertised usually are. Here is what actually moves it, so you can judge any quote you get, ours included.
Access, slope, soil and how far services have to run. Two identical builds on different lots are not the same price, and the difference is decided before anything is drawn.
Span, storeys and roof geometry drive the frame. A simple shape built well is almost always better value than a complicated one built to a budget.
The same deck in cedar, composite or full PVC covers a wide range. We price the options side by side so the trade-off is yours to make, not ours to assume.
Where the money goes once the structure is done. This is the part you can move most, and the part we can phase if it helps.
We walk it before anything is priced.

The estimate is yours either way.

Bugle is a builder, not a lender — but Jared Teel and Jason Kuettel are the two local loan officers our clients most often work with, and both are used to construction draws. Their details are published in full.

ADUs FAQs
It depends on your jurisdiction, lot size and existing structures. We confirm it with the local authority during the first site visit rather than assuming.

Where we build
We work across the Inland Northwest from our office in Post Falls. If your property sits outside these communities, call us anyway — we will tell you honestly whether we are the right builder for it.

Tell us where the property is and what you have in mind. We will walk the site and come back with a real scope and a real number.
