For property owners in Denver, specific plumbing and electrical upgrades are required to transform a garage or basement into a legal, functional living space. According to the provided content, these upgrades include:

• Kitchen Build-outs: Essential for transforming structures into independent living units, requiring code-compliant layouts, fixtures, and electrical wiring for appliances.
• Bathroom Projects: For both basement and garage conversions, specialized plumbing is required to create functional wet rooms, even within tight footprints.
• Utility Upgrades: Basement conversions, in particular, often require utility upgrades depending on the existing capacity and the requirements of the new self-contained unit.
• Independent Systems: Because ADUs are designed as fully independent living spaces, they must have their own designated plumbing and electrical systems that meet Denver’s specific building codes and energy calculation requirements.

ACN Construction manages these technical requirements through their design-build process, ensuring all plumbing and electrical work passes the mandatory city inspections at various stages of construction.
