Use cases
How a garden suite
How a garden suite
actually gets used.
Five common reasons our clients build. Most start with one in mind and quietly use it for another, five years in.
Guest bedroom — Erie model
A private back-yard suite gives visiting family and friends a real place to stay — quieter than the main house, more comfortable than a hotel. Weekends, sabbaticals, holidays: hosting stops being a logistical exercise.
Separate entrance, gated yard
An income asset that lives on the land you already own. Unlike a rental condo, a garden suite tends to lift the value of your main home as well, at a cap rate that's hard to match in Toronto's current market.
Studio interior — Sandy model
A first apartment in your own back yard. Adult kids get independence and privacy without the lease pressure or two-hour commute to a junior one-bed. When they eventually move on, the suite stays an asset.
Office layout — Trent variation
A dedicated workspace, twelve steps from the kitchen. No commute, no shared meeting-room booking system. We can wire the suite for film, photo, music, or just deep-work focus.
Accessible suite — wide doorways, roll-in shower
Closer than a retirement home, more independent than a basement in-law suite. Our designs can be built fully accessible: zero-threshold entrances, 36-inch doorways, walk-in showers, lever hardware throughout.
Why Constraction
Seven reasons
Seven reasons
clients pick us.
We're not a general contractor that sometimes builds garden suites. We do this — only this — and we've built a process around getting it right the first time.
01
Fully custom, built on site
Every suite is framed and finished on your property — not delivered on a truck. The design flexes to your lot, your zoning and your taste; structural quality is inspected at each stage.
+
02
Fixed-cost contracts
An itemised quote up front. We commit to that number. If we missed something, that's our problem to solve.
+
03
Turnkey experience
From discovery through final walkthrough, one team manages everything. You're brought in for the decisions that matter, protected from the noise of the rest.
+
04
Custom-home quality
Structural lumber, mechanicals and finishes are sourced the same way we'd build a multi-million-dollar custom home. A 380-square-foot suite is small; it doesn't have to feel cheap.
+
05
Specialists, not generalists
Garden suites and laneway homes are all we do. Better drawings, smoother permit applications, a deep bench of trades who've worked on suites with us a dozen times before.
+
06
Faster timelines, not rushed work
Roughly four months from ground-breaking to keys on a stock model. That comes from sequencing, not corner-cutting.
+
07
Warranty & insurance
Tarion-insured, fully licensed home builder. Every suite ships with the same statutory warranties as a new home, plus our own one-year workmanship guarantee.
+
Frequently asked
A few common
A few common
questions.
The questions every Toronto homeowner asks before signing. If yours isn't here, just ask.
How much does a garden suite cost?
A turnkey 374 ft² studio starts at $189,000. A two-bedroom 644 ft² suite runs around $289,000 in our standard package. Fully bespoke designs are quoted individually.
How long does it take?
Plan on 3 months for design, drawings and permits, then 4 months for construction. Some lots permit faster; legacy zoning issues can push it longer.
Will I need a permit?
Yes — and we handle the application. Most lots in the City of Toronto are now as-of-right for a garden suite, but every site needs a building permit and Committee of Adjustment in some cases.
Can I rent it out?
Yes. Long-term rentals are permitted as-of-right. Short-term rules vary; we'll walk you through what applies to your address.
Do you do laneway homes?
Absolutely. A laneway home is essentially a garden suite on a lot with public-laneway access. See our laneway page for examples.
What if my lot is awkward?
Most are. Slopes, mature trees, narrow yards, tricky setbacks — these are all solvable. We do a free site assessment before committing to anything.
