L&D Construction Denver

L&D Construction Denver Denver-based construction firm specializing in ADUs + custom homes. Guided by expertise + excellence, driven by relationships + community.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU's) have many different names including carriage houses, garage apartments, alley flats, or in-law quarters. This is a second home on your property that can be attached or detached. In 2010 the zoning in Denver changed to allow for ADU's to be built on certain properties. Most properties in Arvada, Wheat Ridge and Lakewood also allow for these homes to be built. This i

s a great opportunity for homeowners to create additional space for family and/or possibly create rental income. Please stay posted for upcoming events to learn more about ADU's. If you have questions or want to discuss if you can build an ADU on your property contact us today.

Adding meaningful density to underused land is one of our passions. (Fun fact: David’s own new-build home sits on a rezoned lot that was once a single property and is now two.) Our Raleigh Street project turned a zone lot into a triplex, providing more families with access to the established West Denver neighborhood and the tree-shaded streets, schools, and services that come with it.

Full project story linked in our bio.

One of the things we love most about creating ADUs is the flexibility they add to a property. After building more than 70 ADUs across Denver—many of them dating back to the early days of the city's ADU program—we can tailor an ADU design to a homeowner’s lifestyle, goals, and distinct vision. These three layouts show just how much range is possible:

1. An office and family room paired with a full rental unit on the other side.
2. A rental upstairs, with an office, workshop, and garage below.
3. A studio rental upstairs, garage and trailer storage downstairs.

We always encourage homeowners to think beyond how they'll use the space today. Kids grow up. Parents age. Careers change. A well-designed ADU should be able to grow and shift right alongside your life, adding both livability and long-term value to your property.

No two lots in Denver are exactly alike, which is why understanding your specific property—setbacks, lot width, zoning, alley access—is always our first step before we design anything. Swipe through to learn how a technical term called the “bulk plane” affects the size and shape of your ADU.

Come with us behind the scenes at our S. Center Street project in Wash Park.

The homeowners built an ADU, moved into it, and are now transforming their original duplex into a single-family home. This project required thoughtful sequencing and attention to detail to minimize the chaos on site.

Though scrapping the original duplex and rebuilding would’ve been the easier path, we preserved sections of the original brick walls to keep a piece of the home’s history alive. But that hard work is paying off: Now in the framing phase of the process, the homeowners are starting to see their original vision come to life. We’re excited to keep sharing this one as it comes together.

One of our favorite parts of designing ADUs is thinking beyond the four walls.

How someone moves through the space matters just as much as the floor plan itself. A well-placed patio, large sliding doors, thoughtful landscaping, or a shaded seating area can completely change how a home feels.

Especially in Colorado, outdoor living isn't an afterthought, it's part of the design!

Let’s talk schedules:

Construction is a carefully coordinated process involving dozens of people, materials, inspections, and timelines.

Some days everything moves exactly as planned. Other days weather, permitting, inspections, or supply chains shift the schedule.

One of the most valuable parts of our job is keeping homeowners informed throughout the process so there are as few surprises as possible.
