Secondary suites are becoming increasingly popular for adding extra living space to a home. They can serve various purposes, such as accommodating additional guests, generating rental income, or creating a home office. If you're considering building a secondary suite, there are several factors to keep in mind. You'll need to consult with your local municipality to understand zoning by-laws and regulations regarding size, location, and design. Once you confirm that a secondary suite is permitted on your property, you can begin the design process.
