Your full investment, upfront

One simple rule. Zero surprises.

Everything above grade is in your suite price — a complete, fully finished home. Permits, city fees, and below-grade work are itemized separately, in writing, before you sign.

The rule of thumb: if it’s part of the finished suite you can see and touch, it’s included. If it’s underground, at city hall, or an upgrade you choose — it’s itemized on top.

The details

City fees & site work, itemized.

The two categories clients ask about most — broken down line by line.

3City administrative feesSet by the city — passed through at cost, no markup

These go straight to your municipality. You pay exactly what the city charges — we simply manage the process.

Zoning application fee~$600
Building department review (varies by unit size)$1,000–$2,000
Education levy (if required — varies by municipality)~$3,500
Curbside damage depositRefunded to you~$3,000

Development charges: garden suites are typically exempt — we confirm this for your municipality. Most clients budget $5,000–$9,000 here, and roughly $3,000 of it comes back.

4Below-grade & utility workFirm quote after your site assessment

From $25,000 for a standard site

Covers a standard 4 ft trench, concrete slab foundation, and utility connections.

What can increase it — and why:

  • +Longer trench runs to reach services
  • +Infiltration gallery for sloped grading
  • +Sewage pump where gravity drainage isn’t possible
  • +Hydro upgrade from 100 amp to 200 amp
  • +Water line upgrades (site-specific)

Complex sites can run up to roughly double the starting price. Your Kasa Suite Site Assessment tells us exactly which of these apply — so you get a firm number, not an estimate, before committing to build.

Why we price it this way: above-grade construction is predictable, so we fix it. Below-grade conditions and city fees vary lot by lot — quoting them separately means you never pay a padded “just in case” price built into the suite.
