Great video. Super informative. Good luck with your build.

You guys are naturals on camera!

How far above grade should a window be in Ontario?

If a person wanted to be the general contractor for a simple 800sq.ft garden suite in London Ontario area what would you expect the total cost to be just to put up the foundation with the services ready to go? It would be slab on grade with proper footings like your other video. Thanks!

Does 10-20% profit (aka markup on subcontractor costs) sound about the right ballpark for GC's to do conversion projects around here in southern Ontario?

It’s beautiful house, how much did it cost

Can we build garden suite first by putting TGS zone ?

Especially, the tech on making data information of reading your own water meter reader; makes sooo much more homeowner efficient!!

Andy, THAT IS VERY GRRREAT INFORMATION!!! Thanks!

If you have drawings to build 4 units in main house and garden suite at back, do you automatically have the first 4 DC waived and pay (or defer) just that of the garden suite?

I truly appreciate this video and I’m interested in moving to Toronto. In the move I’m looking to purchasing a property possibly in the M4L 2l1 , M4M 2Z4 or L3RG5 area. I’m so excited and interested in Laneway and or Garden-suite. I’d like to have more information

Hi Andy, thanks for your great videos, very detailed, very practical. I have a question about ceiling height, my basement ceiling height is very okay, around 7ft, however the under the beams and ductwork, it is exactly 6'-5'' ( haven't got drywall), so thinking that with drywall, it will be only 6'-4". I am in Cambridge Ontario, I wondering if I have to redo the ductwork, or usually the city tends to be more lenient over this. Thanks and have a great day.

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.

Can you use ICF above and below?

This is a great video. Learned a lot. Thanks guys.

How build basement walkout, when gas meter is on the way? I would appreciate to have your insight. I live in Hamilton

Love. Love. Love the unit. And of course, the rents! Thanks for all of the tips. All the best to your travels.

It's a beautiful basement unit! Great work everyone!

Nice job.

For units built on the garage, where do the cars park then? If each tenant has a car how does one deal with all the added cars now?😊

I plan on rebuilding my house, with a basement apt and an ADU in my backyard.

St. Catharines?

Thanks for sharing the 45 m setback rule 🔥🔥🔥

Is this only for Toronto or applicable to Oshawa as well?

Hi have a question omce you finished installing the drain and gravel over it. if building a wall with the 2 x4 do you pour ciment over it so the 2 x4 on the floor has a flat place to rest on. Was tryimg to see on the video but the 2 x4 and membrane was hidden it. Good video and well explained . Thanks Joe

As a landlord each room would need to rent for about $1200 per month. And that’s after a credit check and would never rent to anyone without 800 credit score and proof of payment for last year. Thanks to the LTB.

@2.30 hey that’s my property.

Question, our landlord, to comply with a fire code inspection. Has screwed drywall on to a pre existing not up to code masonite unit division wall. No air gap with insulation in between Is this acceptable or should we get another inspection? Thank you

If Toronto is #1, why is that only 6 ADUs have been built in the city in the last 3 years?

Glad to see Windsor on this list! Hope to do a project soon!

very imformative!

Good Video, Learned something!

Oh wao. I have a duplex and I need to separate water meters for units. How much Im looking to spend here for a job like this? Im in Cleveland

Can you do this easy enough in a exciting building ? As an upgrade ?

Squashed together like a colony of lemmings, with the stink of others cooking? No thanks.

So….. this is now a business, so you should have to pay business taxes and insurance.

Is this in U.S dollars?

Until the LTB backlog catches up, getting into the landlord game is very high risk. Amateur landlords are bidding up housing prices with dollar signs in their eyes and pricing out first time primary residence owners. Stop hoarding shelter and the price wars go away.

Thank u

I have the perfect lot for this but how does it make sense .? All these houses can be rented ‘as is ‘for the income of 2-3 of these units. So you would go into debt for a minimum of 1-2 million to add an extra 1-2 units ? On top of that you have a government with aspirations to be the biggest landlord of Canada in the near future which will be your competitor. To me this is just another scheme to bankrupt small landlords please someone tell me different.

Good information... Thanks

So we have to contact to the city to change the size of the service line or we could do it by a licensed plumber?

How do you convert a home that uses all gas for power to a fully electric home? This I think is safer and lets you use energy efficient appliances. I read that this process is called electricfication. Do you have any flippers who have done this or done it yourself? It would be great if you could do an episode showing the steps & costs involved and how to do this from start to finish.

Hi I need your phone number to contact with you because I want to build a second unit in my house in Hamilton Ontario

What is Mike's last name?

I bet money that whoever owns my house after me will get busy and convert the garage into a Garden Suite. For sure!

What do you use for a garage once you convert ?
