Whether you’re considering adding a laneway home, duplex, triplex, or garden suite, we provide the guidance you need to navigate zoning regulations, permitting, and design options. 

Redeveloping your lot can create new housing for family members, generate rental income, or increase your property’s value—but the process can feel overwhelming. That’s where we come in. With expert advice, advocacy, and connections to trusted professionals, we make it simpler to transform your property into a smart, future-ready investment while contributing to more diverse, sustainable neighborhoods.
