Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are rapidly growing in popularity. These miniature homes can be installed in a homeowners backyard to provide additional housing or substantial supplemental income from rent. They also provide a viable solution to the U.S.’s growing affordable housing crisis. In the State of California, permits for ADUs and backyard homes have grown 11 fold in only 3 years. 

Cities all over the country have begun easing regulations to allow for the rapid development and construction of backyard homes. Offsight customer, Rent the Backyard aims to tackle the rapidly growing backyard home market by offering high quality, sustainably built backyard homes that are constructed Offsite in their Bay Area factory. They leverage the efficiencies of Offsite Construction to deliver units faster and economically. 

We sat down with Rent the Backyard, CEO, Brian Bakerman, to get his take on backyard homes, Offsite Construction and the role technology plays in driving efficiencies.
