Laneway & Garden Suite Builders.

We start with a site visit and consultation, reviewing your goals, the property's zoning and permit requirements for your specific municipality, and a realistic budget and timeline before anything is designed.

From layout to material selection, we finalize the scope so what gets approved is what actually gets built, no surprises once construction starts.

Our team manages the full build, trades, scheduling, inspections, and quality control, with regular updates through final walkthrough and handover.

A laneway house is accessed via a public lane and is the specific zoning category used in Vancouver and Burnaby. A garden suite (sometimes called a coach house) sits in the backyard with no lane needed, that's the correct term in Richmond, Surrey, Delta, North Vancouver, and Coquitlam. It's the same basic idea, just governed by different local rules.

We build in Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, North Vancouver, Delta, Surrey, and Coquitlam. Each city has its own bylaws, terminology, and permit process, our service area pages break down what applies where you live.

Yes. Every municipality in our service area requires a development and/or building permit for a laneway house, garden suite, or coach house. The exact requirements differ by city, so a free consultation confirms what applies to your specific property.

Cost depends on project type, size, city permit fees, and finish level, there's no single number that's accurate across seven different municipalities and four service types. A free consultation gives you a real range for your specific property and goals.

Timeline depends on project scope and each municipality's own permit processing time, which varies meaningfully from city to city. Rather than quote a generic figure that won't hold across all seven, we give you a realistic schedule based on your specific property after a consultation.

No. We work with homeowners at every stage, from an early feasibility question about an existing property through to a fully designed project that just needs a builder or project manager to take it across the finish line.
