Planning a secondary suite in Calgary? ARK Construction can help compare legal basement, backyard and garage-suite options and coordinate design, permits, construction and inspections for your property.
ARK Construction plans and builds secondary suites for Calgary homeowners. A secondary suite is an additional self-contained living space associated with a primary residence. It may be located inside the home, in a detached backyard building or as part of a garage, depending on the property and approved design.
Requirements vary by property and suite type. Planning may involve zoning, access, parking, utilities, ceiling height, egress, smoke and carbon-monoxide protection, fire separation, sound control and other building-code considerations. Review current guidance on the City of Calgary permits page. Final approval rests with the relevant authorities.
Cost depends on the existing building, suite location, size, structural changes, plumbing and electrical work, access, permit requirements and finish selections. ARK provides an estimate after reviewing the property and scope.
