Frequently asked questions.

Most Toronto lots that back onto a lane (laneway suite) or have side/rear yard space (garden suite) qualify under the city’s as-of-right rules. Our first step is a site assessment to confirm exactly what your lot allows.

Timelines vary with permits and site conditions, but our turnkey process is designed to keep things moving — from design through to move-in — with a single accountable team. We’ll give you a realistic schedule with your quote.

Everything you need for a finished, move-in-ready suite: architectural design and drawings, engineering, full permit management with the city, foundation, the complete high-performance building envelope (standard metal siding, windows, doors and roof), all interior finishes — kitchen, bathroom, flooring, fixtures and appliances — plus electrical, plumbing, all-electric heat-pump HVAC, project management and final inspections.

Costs that vary lot-by-lot and are quoted separately after we see your property: municipal development and permit fees, utility connection upgrades (hydro, water or sewer service), extensive landscaping, tree removal or fencing, demolition of existing structures, HST where applicable, and optional upgrades from our add-on list — like triple-pane windows, a sliding patio door, Maibec wood siding or in-floor bathroom heating.

With a free Feasibility Assessment. We visit your property, confirm zoning and servicing, review site access, and come back with a fixed, all-in quote for your exact lot — no estimates that grow later, no surprise change orders. Book your free Feasibility Assessment →

Yes — a permitted garden or laneway suite is a self-contained legal dwelling, so it can be rented for $2,000–$4,000+ per month depending on size and finish, adding both income and long-term property value.

Absolutely. Our pre-designed models are the fast path, but every suite can be tailored — and we also build fully bespoke suites to suit your site, style and budget.
