New ADU Programs by Bradford Construction Management to Benefit Homeowners

Haverhill, United States – March 13, 2026 / Bradford Construction Management /

Bradford Construction Management is excited to announce the launch of five community accessory dwelling unit (ADU) programs in Andover MA, Newburyport MA, Ipswich MA, Exeter NH, and Portsmouth NH. This initiative is driven by the Massachusetts Affordable Homes Act, which was enacted in August 2024, allowing for by-right ADU permitting statewide. The new programs aim to simplify the process for homeowners looking to build accessory dwelling units, with pricing ranging from $217,000 to $280,000.

The design-build model offered by Bradford Construction Management integrates architecture, permitting, and construction into a single contract. This streamlined approach not only saves time but also reduces the complexity often associated with building projects. Homeowners can choose from various construction options, including Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF), which provide energy efficiency and durability. Each community-specific program includes tailored permitting and setback guidance, ensuring that homeowners receive the most relevant information for their location.

Rick White, the founder of Bradford Construction Management, expressed his enthusiasm for the new programs. He stated, “The Affordable Homes Act changed the calculus entirely for Massachusetts homeowners. What used to require months of zoning hearings and variance approvals can now move directly to permitting and construction. We built our ADU program specifically to take advantage of that clarity – and expanding into these five communities means more families can act on this opportunity without navigating the process alone.”

The launch of these ADU programs is particularly significant for homeowners in North Shore MA and Southern NH, as it provides them with the resources and support needed to navigate the new permitting process. Bradford Construction Management understands that every town has its own unique rhythm when it comes to permitting and building. White noted, “What works in Newburyport may need to be approached differently in Exeter. We built these local resources because homeowners deserve specific answers, not generic information.”

Bradford Construction Management offers a variety of ADU options, including charming cottages, above-garage units, and home additions. Each option is designed to meet the diverse needs of homeowners while adhering to local regulations. The company also provides free consultations to help homeowners understand their options and the potential benefits of adding an accessory dwelling unit to their property.

The introduction of these community ADU programs aligns with the growing demand for affordable housing solutions in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. As more families seek additional living space for relatives, guests, or rental income, the need for well-designed and efficiently built accessory dwelling units has never been greater. Bradford Construction Management is committed to helping homeowners take advantage of this trend by providing expert guidance and support throughout the entire process.

In addition to the practical benefits of building an ADU, homeowners can also enjoy the financial advantages that come with it. Accessory dwelling units can increase property value and provide a source of rental income, making them an attractive investment for many families. Bradford Construction Management aims to empower homeowners to make informed decisions about their properties, ensuring that they can maximize the potential of their investments.

The launch of these ADU programs is a testament to Bradford Construction Management’s dedication to serving the community and addressing the housing needs of local residents. By simplifying the permitting process and offering tailored solutions, the company is making it easier for homeowners to realize their dreams of building accessory dwelling units.

As the demand for housing continues to grow, Bradford Construction Management remains committed to providing innovative solutions that meet the needs of homeowners in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The company’s expertise in the construction industry, combined with its focus on customer service, positions it as a leader in the ADU market.
