From Restrictions to Opportunities: Colorado Springs' New ADU Revolution Starts June 30th 10:38

What Should I Look For When Buying A Property With The Goal Of Adding An ADU? Colorado Springs just witnessed a game-changing moment for property owners and investors as the city council passed a major ADU ordinance that will revolutionize accessory dwelling unit construction starting June 30, 2025. Licensed general contractor Alex Kosley breaks down exactly what property buyers should look for when planning to add an ADU, delivering this news just hours after the council vote. The current landscape allows ADUs in specific zoning districts (R2, R4, and R5), with single-family zones limited to attached units only. Alex walks listeners through critical considerations including setback requirements, minimum space needs, parking considerations, and the golden opportunity of alleyway access. The real excitement comes from understanding how the upcoming changes will open ADU construction to approximately 193,000 additional properties across Colorado Springs—roughly 85% of the city's residential property mass. This episode doesn't just cover the expanding opportunities but also addresses new limitations being implemented, such as height restrictions capping ADUs at 16 feet (25 feet if above a garage) and prohibitions on detached ADUs in wildfire risk zones. Alex provides thoughtful guidance on determining whether an ADU might serve as rental income, family housing, workspace, or multigenerational living quarters, emphasizing that "an ADU isn't just a building, it's a strategy" for financial freedom and community connection.

Building Better: Why Design-Build Trumps Traditional Construction Methods 9:02

Do I Really Need An Architect For My Project? Ever dreamed of sketching your dream ADU on a napkin and handing it to a builder? The harsh reality might surprise you. Licensed general contractor Alex Kosley breaks down exactly why navigating the building process in Colorado Springs demands more than just creative vision. While you technically don't need an architect for your ADU project, the permitting requirements are staggering: architectural drawings, framing plans, electrical layouts, plumbing designs, energy compliance certificates, soils tests, and engineer-stamped foundation designs. This complex web of documentation represents just the beginning of a process that can quickly overwhelm even the most determined DIY enthusiast. Alex makes a compelling case for the design-build approach that StreamHome Construction has perfected. Unlike traditional construction methods where architects and builders work in separate silos, their integrated team collaborates seamlessly from day one. This eliminates the finger-pointing and communication breakdowns that plague conventional projects when unexpected challenges arise. Ready to explore your options without the headaches?

How Do You Ensure A Project Stays On Budget? Ever wondered why construction projects so frequently go over budget? Alex Kosley pulls back the curtain on budget control secrets that have made StreamHome Construction one of the most trusted general contractors in Colorado Springs. The conversation dives deep into the power of fixed price contracts—a cornerstone of Stream's approach to residential and ADU projects . Unlike contractors who rely on change orders to pad their profits, Stream operates on a model where the price only changes if the scope itself changes. This seemingly simple distinction has profound implications for homeowners who want financial predictability without sacrificing quality. Whether you're planning an ADU in your backyard or renovating a commercial space, these insights could save you thousands in unexpected costs. Ready to experience a different kind of construction process?

Licensed general contractor Alex Kosley pulls back the curtain on the costliest mistakes homeowners and business owners make when planning their builds. The reality of construction planning is far more complex than most people realize.

Whether you're dreaming of a new ADU , planning an office upgrade, or tackling a major renovation in the Colorado Springs area, this episode delivers concrete advice that could save you thousands of dollars and months of headaches. As Alex emphasizes, "Construction isn't just something that you wing. A well-planned project saves time, money, and stress."
