Secondary Suites & ADUs in Richmond.
Basement, garden and laneway suites are the fastest way to turn a Richmond property into an income property — designed, permitted and built by one accountable team.
Richmond is built for this move.
Richmond’s flat, generously sized lots and Canada Line access make it one of the more straightforward places in the region to add homes to a property.
For suites, that means one thing: the permission question is mostly settled. What decides your project is design, servicing and execution — and that’s exactly what we own.

Asked in Richmond.
As honest ballparks: a basement conversion typically runs $90k–$145k all-in at standard size and finish, and a new garden suite roughly $215k–$280k. Your free report prices your actual project for your Richmond lot.
Under BC’s Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing rules, Richmond pre-zoned some 27,000 lots for three to four units — up to six on larger lots near frequent transit — with a secondary suite and/or coach house permitted on detached homes. Individual designs still need permits and can be shaped by lot specifics — which is what the free report checks.
Typically 2–4 months for design and permits, then 4–8 months of construction depending on the suite type. We set a realistic timeline for your project up front — and one team carries it to keys.
