We focus on the early planning stages to help you feel prepared for the journey ahead. Once you're ready to move forward, we can recommend or help you vet architects, engineers, builders, and owners representatives to achieve your vision!
We are here to help wherever possible. Just reach out and we can discuss next steps. Questions on the technical "how to" are included in the template cost. Template content consultations can be purchased as a package with the template or seperately.
Yes—we’re experienced with regional districts and remote projects. These will come with unique circumstances but we are up for the challenge.
Right now, we focus on projects within BC, where we have the most experience with zoning, permitting, and construction practices.
SSMHU stands for "small-scale multi-unit housing" and includes duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) like garden suites and laneway houses.
In response to the housing affordability crisis, the BC provincial government introduced Bill 44 which required municipalities update their zoning to allow more units in traditionally single-family zones. This reduced existing barriers to redevelopment and increased the amount of highly livable housing in existing residential neighbourhoods.
These changes have made it easier than ever for someone (or a group of someones) to redevelop little lots into housing for your family and friends. If you own a single family home, or know someone who owns a single family home, or know people interested in community-oriented living, it is achievable to build your own tiny village.
