Difference Between Laneway & Garden Suites
Laneway Suites: A “Laneway Suite” is a self-contained residential unit located on the same lot as the main detached home and has a separate entrance facing the rear public laneway.
Garden Suites: A “Garden Suite” is a detached living space constructed behind the main building, usually located in the rear yard, and not on a public lane.
Garden Suites and Laneway Suites are great solutions for housing loved ones, generating affordable rental income, or creating additional live-work space, all while improving the value of your property.
The Process
How to Convert Your Garage or Backyard Into A Rental Suite
With every Multiplex Conversion Project, we keep you in the loop throughout the whole process and provide you with clear roadmap and budget for you to understand your investment without lifting a finger.
Step 1
Initial Consultation
In our FREE consultation, we take the time to learn about your tastes and ideas, and the site of your new home. We incorporate all of this into a Personalized Project Criteria, which we use to design and prepare conceptual drawings.
Step 2
Preparation
We’ll analyze your existing floorplan and provide you with a comprehensive project scope so you can make the right decisions for your conversion. Once everyone’s goals are aligned, give us the green light and we’ll do the heavy lifting to get your project started.
Step 3
Design
Once you have approved the conceptual designs, we work with our team of professionals to create preliminary computer-drafted “block-out drawings”. This exciting step will allow you to view computer drawings, giving you an insight as to what your home will eventually look like, with all exterior elevations. Any necessary revisions will be made to ensure that all of your design and project requirements are met and satisfied.
Step 4
Material Selection
After we send the designs to get permits, we offer a wide range of top quality material options to select for every part of your home from the best suppliers in Canada and around the world.
Step 5
Construction Preparation
We move forward to complete your final construction drawings. These drawings are structurally engineered with all necessary dimensions and details. Our construction drawings are the most complete in the industry.
