FAQ

Get your answers below?

How much does it cost?

The cost of a garden suite can be broken down into three categories. Firstly the pre-construction costs of architectural design and engineering. Secondly the permitting costs that are paid directly to the city. Lastly the actual cost of construction.

The pre-construction costs can range from $6,000 - $20,000 depending on the complexity and size of the project.

Permitting fees vary per city but range from $1,000 - $5,000.

Construction costs will largely depend on the level of finishes and the size of the project. In general the cost to construct a garden suite can range from $350 - $450 per square foot. In general the larger structure you build, the more cost efficient the building process becomes from a per square foot basis.

Does my backyard qualify?

The Government of Ontario has released laws requiring all Ontario municipalities to make efforts to increase the development of housing within the province. As a result, every municipality in Ontario has either approved by laws to allow garden suites, or are in the process of approving by laws to allow them.

The best way to find out if your property qualifies is to view our catalogue and book a free consultation with us directly on our website.

In general things to consider are your property line setbacks (distance from property lines and where the structure will be placed), the structure's separation from your main home, and lot coverage maximums that will impact the buildable space you have in yor backyard.

How do I get electrical / plumbing services to my unit?

Every municipality is a bit different, but usually you are connecting services directly to your main home. We'll help you figure out the best path forward to getting services to your garden suite.
