EP 89 Zoning Expert ➡️ ADU Strategist | Joshua's Take with Joshua Bennett
In Episode 89 of the Steph Sells ADUs podcast, Steph sits down with Joshua Bennett - U.S. Army veteran, land use planner, and founder of ADU Wizard to unpack what’s really working in the ADU world right now.
Joshua shares his journey from government planner to national ADU strategist, where he reviewed zoning, land use, environmental regulations, and critical areas for residential projects. That hands-on experience revealed a massive knowledge gap for homeowners looking to build ADUs which ultimately led him to start his own consulting business and later partner with LuxMod Homes to expand scalable, panelized housing solutions across the U.S.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why so many homeowners get stalled by zoning and conditional use permits
- How ADUs are shaping the future of housing nationwide
- Why panelized and steel-frame builds are gaining momentum
- How boomers can leverage ADUs for downsizing and rental income
- The growing labor gap in the construction trades
- Why California is setting the national standard for ADU development
Joshua also discusses how prefabricated and modular ADUs can reduce build time, labor costs, and long-term maintenance while still achieving top-tier property values.
Whether you’re a homeowner, investor, builder, or housing advocate, this episode is packed with insight on how ADUs can solve housing challenges and unlock long-term wealth.
🎧 Tune in now to hear Joshua’s take on the future of housing, zoning and scalable ADU development.
