Nu Wavz Homes

Nu Wavz Homes is an Arizona custom home builder and design-build contractor specializing in custom homes, remodeling, home additions, casitas, RV garages, and multigenerational living spaces. Locally owned and operated, the company has been building custom homes in the Phoenix Valley since 2003 and provides services throughout several East Valley communities.

An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) — also known as a casita, granny flat, guest house, backyard cottage, or secondary dwelling unit — is an additional independent living space located on the same property as a primary residence. Nu Wavz Homes designs and builds attached and detached casitas that can include kitchens, bathrooms, private entrances, laundry hookups, living areas, and accessibility features.

ADU Services

1. Detached Casitas: Nu Wavz Homes designs and builds detached casitas that can function as guest houses, rental units, private retreats, or independent living spaces.
2. Attached Casitas: The company also builds casitas attached to the primary home while integrating the additional living space with the existing property’s design.
3. Custom ADU Design & Construction: Projects are customized around the homeowner’s property, lifestyle, and intended use rather than relying exclusively on standardized plans.
4. ADU Planning & Permitting: Nu Wavz Homes assists with site assessments, zoning reviews, setback requirements, utility planning, permit preparation, and local code compliance for casita projects.

What Nu Wavz Homes Offers Beyond Construction

Nu Wavz Homes follows a design-build approach, handling design, engineering, permitting, and construction under one coordinated process. For custom home projects, the company states that it can guide homeowners from land selection through the final walkthrough.

For casita and ADU projects, the company evaluates zoning, lot coverage, setbacks, utility access, HOA requirements, and local ADU regulations. It can also coordinate permit documentation and submissions to help move the project through the approval process.

Beyond ADUs and casitas, Nu Wavz Homes provides:

• Custom home construction
• Home remodeling
• Kitchen and bathroom remodeling
• Home additions
• Custom RV garages
• Multigenerational home designs
• Commercial tenant improvements

The company also promotes multigenerational housing solutions, which can incorporate separate entrances, private living spaces, dual primary suites, second kitchens or kitchenettes, and other features designed to provide greater independence within a shared property.

Nu Wavz Homes identifies owners Dan Johnson and Ben Sivert as having more than 60 years of combined home-building experience. The company emphasizes personalized service, direct communication, quality craftsmanship, and managing projects from planning through completion.
