Welcome to the Kinstruct Family
We’re thrilled to welcome Amy and her family in Exeter, NH, and Tom and his family in Windham, NH to the Kinstruct community! Amy is working on a custom attached addition to her existing home, while Tom is customizing The Tecumseh 740 as an attached ADU, along with some exciting renovations to his garage. We can’t wait to see both of these projects come to life—let the designing begin!
Digging Into HB 577
Let’s recap what you’ve learned about HB 577 (2025)—the new law reshaping how ADUs are built in New Hampshire.
HB 577 requires towns that allow single-family homes to also allow one ADU—attached or detached—by right. That means no special approvals, variances, or board meetings are required as long as you meet the basic size and setback requirements. The law also prevents towns from enforcing stricter rules for ADUs than for the primary home, ensuring fair and consistent standards statewide.
The law allows ADUs of at least 750 sq. ft., with some flexibility up to around 950 sq. ft. depending on local authorization.

If your family is dreaming of a 2026 build, now’s the perfect time to start planning. With winter approaching, our team is hard at work finishing this season’s projects while laying the groundwork for next year’s builds.
