No, but you can add that amount to the basis of your property to lower or reduce any gain you may owe when you sell the property.

I am planning to build an ADU on my property. I have not started because I'd like to be able to write off the cost to build it. If I create an LLC for the ADU, can i deduct the construction cost?

the costs become additons to your cost basis. Upon sale it will help determine your profit / loss on the property. LLC won't change that.

Think about it - if you could simply write off all the construction costs, everyone in the America would be constructing ADUs so that the federal government is helping out on each and every unit. Not the way tax policy works.
