Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our Garden Suite & Laneway Home services

What is the difference between a garden suite, laneway home, and accessory dwelling unit (ADU)?

A garden suite and a laneway home are both types of accessory dwelling units built on the same property as a primary residence. A garden suite is typically located in the backyard, while a laneway home is positioned near a rear laneway. Both are self-contained residential units with their own kitchen, bathroom, and living space.

Do I need a permit to build a garden suite or laneway home?

Yes. Garden suites and laneway homes require zoning review, building permits, and inspections to comply with municipal bylaws and Ontario building code standards. As a licensed general contractor, we manage permit applications, engineering requirements, and inspections throughout the construction process.

How much does it cost to build a garden suite or ADU?

The cost of building a garden suite or accessory dwelling unit depends on size, design complexity, servicing requirements, and finish selections. Site preparation, foundation systems, plumbing, and utility connections also impact overall investment. We provide detailed scope development and transparent pricing before construction begins.

How long does it take to build a laneway home?

Timelines vary based on permitting, design approval, and construction scope. The design and permit phase typically takes 3-6 months, followed by a construction period of 4-8 months depending on scope. Our general contractor team provides a defined project schedule once scope and approvals are confirmed.

Can I rent out my garden suite or laneway house?

In many municipalities, garden suites and laneway homes can be legally rented if they meet zoning and building code requirements. Rental regulations may vary, so we review local bylaws during the planning phase to ensure your accessory dwelling unit meets local short-term and long-term rental requirements.

How do I get started with building a garden suite or ADU?

The first step is scheduling a consultation to review your property, zoning requirements, and project goals. We assess feasibility, outline design options, and develop a preliminary scope. Once approved, our general contractor team manages planning, permits, engineering, and full construction from start to finish.
