OUR Garden SUITE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
Custom Garden Suite Plans for Your Property
Building a garden suite on your property is a great way to add a detached additional residential unit. These self-contained units typically include cooking, living, sleeping, and washroom facilities, offering flexible living space for family, guests, or rental income.
Since Brampton does not provide pre-approved plans, our team works with you to create customized designs that meet your needs while complying with local bylaws. A tailored site plan and grading plan will also be prepared to ensure your project fits seamlessly with your property.
By working with experienced professionals, you can save time and effort while ensuring your garden suite design meets all building requirements. Partner with a licensed garden suite builder to bring your vision to life efficiently and cost-effectively.
