Before You Reach Out
Quick answers to what most homeowners ask on the first call.
How long does it take to build a garden suite in Toronto?
4 to 7 months from signed design agreement to final occupancy certificate. Toronto Building Division permitting 12 to 14 weeks. Construction 10 to 16 weeks depending on size, finishes and utility upgrades. Winter builds add 2 to 4 weeks.
Does my Toronto lot qualify for a garden suite?
Most residential lots inside Toronto qualify under By-law 574-2022, if rear yard size, setback and lot coverage rules are met. Lots in HCDs, TRCA regulated areas, with Tree Protection By-law specimens, or on designated streets have additional restrictions. Written feasibility report confirms qualification before contract.
How do payments work on a garden suite contract?
Zero deposit on the feasibility report, 10% at contract, then 5 staged draws at permit, foundation, framing, finishes and occupancy. No change orders without your written approval.
Who designs and engineers your garden suites?
Founder Dmitri Varga, P.Eng (Ontario, since 2003) and BCIN-qualified for Part 9 small residential, leads design and engineering. We carry $5M general liability and WSIB clearance, shared at contract signing.
