Our process
Eight steps from idea to keys-in-hand.
A calm, feasibility-first process with one point of contact, clear deliverables at every stage and no surprises at City Hall.
A calm, feasibility-first process with one point of contact, clear deliverables at every stage and no surprises at City Hall.
A free 30-minute conversation about your goals, property, and budget. We confirm whether an ADU makes sense before you proceed.
We assess zoning, lot dimensions, servicing capacity, setbacks and conservation authority jurisdiction to confirm what's buildable on your specific lot.
We translate the feasibility findings into a concept design and an honest budget range, so you can make a confident go / no-go decision.
Concepts become permit-ready drawings with structural, mechanical, and energy details, engineered to the Ontario Building Code.
We prepare and manage the building permit application and any required approvals, responding to municipal comments on your behalf.
Your suite is built by an independent licensed builder under its own contract with you, and we manage the schedule and communication throughout: site prep, servicing, structure, envelope, systems and finishes. Regular updates and one point of contact throughout.
We coordinate municipal inspections through to final occupancy, ensuring the suite is legal and ready to live in or rent.
Your builder hands over keys and warranty documents (Tarion new-home warranty on detached suites, the contractor's written workmanship warranty on renovations), and we check the package is complete. Optionally, we prepare the suite to be listing-quality and rent-ready.
Basement conversions are fastest; detached garden and laneway suites take longest. Municipal approval timelines vary by city and are the main variable.
Timelines are estimates. Actual duration depends on design complexity, municipal review and site conditions.
It starts with a free, no-obligation discovery call.
