An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), commonly known as a garden suite or in-law suite, is a self-contained living space on the same property as a primary residence. ADUs offer versatile and efficient housing solutions, providing additional living space without the need for significant property expansion. Sometimes referred to as prefab modular homes, they serve various purposes, including independent housing for family members, creating rental income, or offering a dedicated workspace such as a home office, gym or childcare facilities. ADUs are a popular and sustainable choice for homeowners looking for adaptable living arrangements.

Alternatively, the owner can seek out a local architect or designer to assist with the application process. Additional required documents include a Site Plan, HVAC Design and, Helical Pile Design. These are not included in our package and are specific to the location of the construction.

In most scenarios, it is possible to have a second dwelling on your property provided that it meets the minimum space and setback requirements. The addition of a second unit is an ideal solution for establishing independent living quarters for a family member or generating extra income to offset mortgage payments. However, prior to proceeding with the addition of a second unit, it is crucial to consult with your local municipal planning and building departments. These authorities can inform you of the regulations and restrictions that govern second unit additions in your area, including local zoning laws, building code, and other by-laws, and provide answers to any questions you may have. It is important to note that upon receiving confirmation from the municipal planning and building departments, FlexoBuild will furnish you with a building permit drawing package that adheres to your provincial building code. As the property owner, you will be responsible for arranging a site plan drawing package that depicts the precise placement of your FlexoBuild dwelling on your property and any other site work drawings that the municipality requires.
