Abodu presents itself, in the title of its home page, as «California Modular Backyard Homes & ADUs». This article sets out what the company states on its public website next to what Green Village offers, using the same criteria, so you can decide based on verifiable facts.
What Abodu states on its website
According to its website, Abodu offers modular backyard homes and ADUs, designed and installed across California, for homeowners and apartment operators. It describes its range as backyard homes, wildfire rebuilds and new rental units for apartment properties, and shows a 2 bed, 2 bath, 800 sq ft model with 5 finishes to choose from.
The home page offers a tool to see any Abodu on the buyer's actual lot, scaled to the exact dimensions, and says the homes are built indoors in a factory. The process page says its team visits the property for a 3D scan, drone footage and precise measurements, and that it prepares the property, including foundation and utility work.
