The specifics vary across Alberta, so confirm them with the provider you hire. ### Is ADUs cheaper in smaller cities? Often, but not always.

For Alberta, ask a provider to put that in writing with the quote. ### How many quotes should I get for adu? Two or three written quotes are enough to see the real market range. Compare the same scope side by side, and ask each provider what is excluded and what would change the price after the quote is accepted.
