What We Build

ADU & Carriage Home
Services We Build

Accessory Dwelling Units
01

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)

An ADU gives your family a separate, comfortable space while keeping loved ones close, designed for aging parents, adult children, guests, or future plans. We plan the entrance, kitchen, bath, storage, natural light, parking, and outdoor access so the suite feels private and independent without looking disconnected from the property.

02

Carriage Homes & Backyard Suites

A carriage home or backyard suite should feel like it belongs on the property. We plan size, roofline, materials, window placement, and outdoor connection, and on rural sites, access, privacy, snow, drainage, and utilities, with the same care as a custom home.

Additions & Full Makeovers
03

Garage Suites

A well-planned garage suite adds flexible living space above practical vehicle and gear storage. We get the details right, stair placement, sound separation, insulation, heating, lighting, and how the suite connects to parking and outdoor areas.

How We Work

our
process

01

Discovery Conversation

We talk through how the ADU will be used, who it is for, the level of privacy needed, and the budget and timing you have in mind.

02

Site Review & Concept Planning

We look at property access, utilities, parking, privacy, drainage, existing structures, and the practical placement of the new living space.

03

Scope, Drawings & Permits

We build the scope, specifications, allowances, and schedule, then coordinate permit requirements and the municipal steps that apply.

04

Construction with Steady Communication

Work proceeds with organized sequencing, weekly feedback, and clearly priced changes before any approved adjustments happen.

05

Final Walkthrough & Delivery

We review the finished space with you, complete punch-list items, explain key systems, provide maintenance guidance, and begin the warranty period at completion.

What Shapes the Build

Planning That Makes an
ADU Work Long-Term

๐Ÿก

Built to Belong

Size, roofline, materials, windows, and placement are planned so the new suite feels connected to the property, not an afterthought tucked into the backyard.

๐Ÿ“‹

Planning & Permit Coordination

We coordinate development and building permits, sub-trade permits, and inspections, with a clear scope, allowances, and schedule before work begins.

๐ŸŒฒ

Rural-Aware Site Review

On rural properties we review wells, septic capacity, drainage, flood-fringe, access, and service availability early so the project moves forward with fewer surprises.

๐Ÿ”‘

Flexible for Family

ADUs support aging parents, adult children, guests, private workspace, or future rental-style use, privacy and comfort planned in from the start.

Are ADUs the same as carriage homes?
+
Yes. ADU means accessory dwelling unit, while carriage home, garage suite, backyard suite, and laneway-style suite are common local terms for a small, self-contained home on the same property as the main house.
Can an ADU be used for multi-generational living?
+
Yes. ADUs are often built for aging parents, adult children, extended family, or long-term guest space because they provide privacy while keeping family close.
Do you handle permits for carriage homes and garage suites?
+
Yes. We coordinate development and building permits, sub-trade permits, and inspections. Rural projects may also require early review of wells, septic capacity, access, utilities, and site reports.
How long does a garage suite or carriage home take to build?
+
Timelines vary by design, permit approvals, site conditions, weather, and material selections. Many garage suite projects take several months after permit approval, and the best way to understand timing is to start planning early.
Can you make the ADU match the main home?
+
Yes. We plan exterior materials, rooflines, windows, layout, and site placement so the new space feels connected to the property while still giving the occupant privacy and comfort.
