Wolf vs MyADU: factory modular vs custom design-build
Both companies build ADUs in the Portland–Vancouver metro. Wolf builds modular homes in Battle Ground and installs them on the property. MyADU offers stock plans and custom on-site design-build services.
Construction method
Factory modular versus custom design-build
| Question | Wolf Industries | MyADU (their public site) |
|---|---|---|
| Construction method | Factory modular. Washington L&I or Oregon BCD inspects the structure; the city inspects the pad and hookups. | Custom / stock design-build. MyADU describes itself as a design-build ADU builder for Portland and Vancouver, founded in 2019 after decades of custom-home work. |
| What you pick first | A pre-engineered model (B through I) that fits the property, followed by finish selections. | A stock model or a fully custom layout they design to the property. Their FAQ says custom takes a few more weeks of design up front. |
| Service area | Full turn-key service across Washington and Oregon from our Battle Ground factory. | Portland, Oregon and Vancouver / Clark County, Washington. Their FAQ cites Vancouver/Clark size and setback notes and Portland’s typical 800 sq ft cap. |
| Published dollars | Wolf’s Model B starts at $67,500 for the home itself and is available only in the City of Portland. Appliances are separate. Your complete project is quoted after reviewing the property and confirming the scope. | MyADU’s FAQ lists stock models at roughly $150,000–$200,000 and custom projects at $250,000–$350,000+. Confirm current pricing and scope directly with MyADU. |

Home starting prices begin at $67,500 for Model B (City of Portland only).
Starting prices cover the home itself. Your property proposal covers the work needed around it.
Site work, foundation, utility connections, delivery, and installation are quoted for your property. Your written proposal defines the scope, taxes, appliances, and any additional work.
| Part of your project | How it is priced |
|---|---|
| Starting price for the home | $67,500 (Model B, City of Portland only) |
| Appliances and selected upgrades | Priced separately in your proposal |
| Permitting and local fees | Confirmed for your jurisdiction and project |
| Delivery and installation | Quoted for your address, access, and placement needs |

Your proposal shows the home price and site work separately. Trench length, septic or sewer work, electrical upgrades, access, foundation, ramps, and delivery distance are reviewed for your property. Taxes, appliances, and work outside the agreed scope are priced separately.
Wolf’s starting home price and another builder’s installed price may cover different work. Before comparing totals, ask whether each price includes design, permits, site work, utilities, delivery, and installation.
How to read this
Custom drawings vs a factory plan
Choose Wolf when a published model fits
Wolf may be a good fit when a pre-engineered model works for the property and modular delivery is practical. The home is built indoors while permitting and site work move forward.
Choose a design-build firm when you need a custom layout
A design-build firm may be a good fit when the property or owner requires a custom layout. MyADU describes both stock and custom on-site construction options.
