Every month, our team reviews plans for Accessory Dwelling Units across Charlotte, and 9 out of 10 times, we see the same thing:
- Too small.
- Too rushed.
- Too generic.
At Ethnic LLC, we don’t do “add-ons.” We build true living spaces that are full of light, have privacy, and lasting value for decades to come. We’ll walk your lot, handle the permits, and design a structure that fits your lifestyle.

Not Just an ADU. An Ethic Build From Foundation to Finish.
Anyone can say “We build accessory units.
But very few bring the design, precision, and zoning knowledge it takes to make them feel like real homes. Here’s how Ethic LLC maintains top-tier craftsmanship and sets the bar.
Designed Around How You’ll Use It
We don’t drop prefab templates on a lot and call it done.
Every unit starts with a walk-through, conversation, and a finalized layout that is built for real life.
Built With the Same Crew and Craft as Our Custom Homes
You’re not getting a side team. You’re getting our best. We use the same licensed trades, structural experts, and finish pros that handle our large-scale builds. Because we believe a 700 sq. ft. ADU deserves the same respect as a 5,000 sq. ft. custom home.

Light-Filled, Efficient, and Worth Every Square Foot
From upgraded insulation to low-E windows and energy-smart HVAC, we don’t skip specs to cut costs. Your ADU will be quiet, comfortable, and built to hold value long after it’s paid off.
Why Our Clients Don’t Chase Us Down — Ever
Most homeowners feel like they have to manage their contractors just to get the basics done. At Ethic, it’s the opposite.
We’ve built dozens of accessory units across Charlotte which means we already know the terrain, the zoning restrictions, and the pain points behind the walls.
Our clients trust us because we don’t scramble or play guessing games.
We walk in ready, and we leave them in full control of a space they love.
Local Knowledge
Talk about tight urban footprints or sloped lots with drainage quirks, we’ve seen it. And because we know the region, we design smarter from the start.
Forget the costly surprises or red-tape delays.
Every Project Starts With a Real Conversation
Before we draft a line or suggest a material, we sit down and listen.
Our free consultations aren’t sales calls. They’re deep dives into what your property can do, and what you want it to feel like.
Here are some of the most common questions our consultants might ask you during the call:
- “Who’s going to use this space and for how long?”
- “Do you want total privacy from the main house?”
- “Are we designing around rental income or lifestyle flexibility?”
“Is walkability, storage, or natural light more important to you?”
Four Uses. One Structure. Infinite Return.
An ADU is a smart play.
When designed right, one well-built structure unlocks multiple lives over time, all without expanding your footprint.
Multigenerational Living
Let aging parents live nearby without sacrificing privacy or turn it into a cozy first home for your grown kids.
Rental Income
Build it once, and rent it for life. A Recast-quality ADU gives you long-term income without sacrificing curb appeal or tenant comfort.
Home Office or Studio
No more working in the guest room. Create a dedicated, detached space for focused work, creative projects, or even a private client-facing setup.

We design with code, care, and clarity. So when it’s time to build, everything just works. If you’ve been thinking about an ADU, this is your sign to stop thinking and start planning.
