This is a great video! Thank you. Deserves more views.
Waiting for this to be an option to grow old in the same land with my son’s family…… hope get approved soon. Just we need a video for the tips on the building process, like drawings, contractors, and cost to build this garden suite above ground and with the option of 1 1/2 storey. Thank you, great video
I hope many multigenerational families will be able to live together in this arrangement.
Well done, Andy!
Thanks Christian!
Thanks Andy... great video. Thank you for sharing :) I am looking at putting a garden suite on one of my rental properties in Guelph.
Thanks Susan! Yes it's a great housing option.
Lots missed in this video. How about number of suites on a given property, other creative ways to get around zoning.
Great video Andy. It was exactly what it was looking for. Thanks for the info!
I like the idea.
In terms of utilities.is it possible you would have to resize the main water line and sewer line connections from the street all the way to the house to accommodate the garden suite? I know a renovation we did on a house a few years ago tripped this when we went to add an extra shower and a dishwasher. We were required to upgrade from a one-inch line to a one-and-a-half-inch line from the street connection to the house and the Sewer had to be upgraded to a newer modern PVC pipe from the older clay pipe and at a larger diameter. total cost to do that work was about #45,000 ontop of the renovation. We discovered this at the mid-point of the construction. and it ended up adding 33% t another projected budget that was not accounted for. Thanks to a family load it was accomplished.
Water line yes to 1", but drain line typically not. 4" normally sufficient.
@@suiteadditions Thanks for the clarification.
@@suiteadditions Also would the electrical panel need to be brought to 200 Amps as well or is that standard these days? The house we did was only 100 and it needed a new panel. It had aluminum wiring as well so that necessitated a complete rewire anyway. We nicknamed the house the money pit! With having to re-do the weeping tile, install backflow prevention valve, and remediate asbestos and wonky beam placement necessitating new structural and engineering due to undersized and incorrectly located beams the prices just kept going up. We doubled the original budget
Can you add a garden suite right up against your existing house is their a limit on this distance? Can you get a variance or do extra fire proofing to have it say 1’ away.
great video
Thank you so much for information
Great video and explanation of factors to consider and be aware of
Great video! Thanks Andy. Where can I find plans for garden suites? Looking for ideas/price costs, etc.
Google ADUs, garden suites, coach houses - there are many companies getting into the space
Would adding a garden suite in Toronto add more value to the house than the cost of construction. Would this be a good idea for a flip.
Flipping these might be tough. Depending if you're able to keep construction costs low I think.
Can you do something related to Chatham Ontario please?
Great video indeed!! I have a duplex (with detached Garage) in London and zoning allows for Triplex. Can I convert the garage to a legal suite?
Possibly but you would have to check with the city on by-laws.
Hello Andy, nice video, I really am thinking to have around 300 SF in my back yard. Do you know anyone who can help and approximately how much? I live in Etobicoke. Thanks again
Our pleasure. Do you need help with construction or permit drawings? We do permit drawings. Info at our website at www.SuiteAdditions.com/servicetypes
Windsor is also great for this
I was under the impression this rule was to force cities and towns to allow the units. Are you still required to follow all of the township bylaws? Example: I am zoned R1 but I would like a garden suite, small building. I am in NW Ontario.
Yes every city must allow them but each has specific bylaws
Andy, for the garden suites, for a future video could you cover the zoning bi-laws for Chatham Kent?
Maybe!
Great video and very informative, thank you! Do the required setbacks and angular plane also apply to an existing garage conversion + storey added if located close to a property line? I figure this would automatically trigger a minor variance? Any experiences with this? Thanks!
Our pleasure. Existing mostly okay but 2nd storey would require variance.
Thanks Andy..this is very helpful..any idea if garden suits are allowed in Clarington, Ontario. Thanks
Having looked into it yet - hopefully soon!
Do you have any information about building a garden suite in township of scugog? i signed up for the ebook guide download, but never got the email link.
How does one become an investor for Garden Suites? Where to start, tips. Looking to invest?
Great video! How much does a 800 sq ft garden suite cost to build?
Will depend on many things. But word on the street for a simple 800sf unit without basement may run you in the ballpark of 200-250k.
Hi Andy . Great contents. However , no one so far to give me a clear answer how to get around the distance requirement from the main house to the fire Hydrant. My house is about 57 M away from the closest one. Can you please address this issue.
I would really appreciate your comment.
Kris
Can I build a garden home on land which I already own?
Yes but the rules will depend on the city. Some cities don't have rules in place yet.
Does the city of Whitby allow garden suites? How do we do research on which cities allow such a great idea?
I don't think so yet. But it's coming to most cities. You can call them or check their websites. Stay tuned as we do more vids on specific municipalities.
Thanks Andy , I have a corner lot bungalow built in the 50s lot size 32.5 x 150 in Etobicoke , when do you think it will be regulated in Etobicoke/Toronto.
Good sized lot. Likely late 2021 early 2022.
I am very interested. I always want to make a garden home/ extra home on my property too. Is there a way that I only need to care about the outlook and money? I.don't know if I have time for all these permits, zoning, electricity, pipe line, amd looking for contractors. How much would it be to build a 2 storey about 800 square ft in Toronto area with all expenses included?
I’m so grateful this in now legal. Great information! Thanks. Are tiny homes or container houses allowed? Barrie.
As long as they meet the bylaws and codes. Tiny houses on wheels are generally not allowed.
This is great! Thanks Andy, awesome video. I have a semi-detached, located in Ward 15 - Don Valley West (Leaside). It’s 22.5 x 140 (3150 square feet) - do you think that would meet the minimum square footage requirement? In the video you gave an example of 4000 square feet, not sure if that’s actually the minimum or if you were giving an example. Also, is my area clear to start building?
Toronto doesn't allow them yet. I would say in a few months it will likely be in the bylaws. 4000SF is a rough guess on min. But each city will be different.
@@suiteadditions Toronto JUST approved Garden Suites! Interested to know what the regulations will be!
Great information. We have a huge lot in Richmond Hill, Ontario. Can you provide a name of a company that can help build a garden suite for us?
DOES THIS COVER LONDON ONTARIO?? please let me know i have 60x150 lot
can garden house has basement?
It depends on the city
I would really like to do this for my elderly mother so she would be close for me to care for but still have her own little home. I don’t know if this can be done in the St Thomas Ont area yet.
These will make our property taxes rise, no doubt, right?
This will likely increase your overall property value, which mean yes likely your property taxes should rise in the future. But benefits outweigh the costs.
Would woodstock be much different than Brantford or Kitchener?
Looks like Woodstock is still reviewing woodstocksentinelreview.com/news/local-news/woodstock-councillors-hesitant-on-provincial-housing-policy-ask-staff-for-more-information
@@suiteadditions wow they sure hate good ideas here.
The province told all municipalities/ townships/ cities to either generate their own stipulations or the province would mandate guidelines, so this is province wide and compulsory. Some places started permitting this many years ago as it is a solution that many were looking for. I’m glad this video was made explaining this option to interested people.
What area in the GTA is this possible? Can you name 3?
Kitchener, Hamilton, Barrie, Guelph, Welland, Brantford - more to come
@@suiteadditions also innisfill and Orillia
Are you allowed to sell a garden suite?
Unfortunately not on its own
Wouldn’t someone rather just pick up a house $300k that has more bedrooms and basement rather then pay over $100k for a garden suite 🤔
