Clear thinking.
Careful building.
Thoughtful secondary suites planned around privacy, function, durability, and the practical requirements of the existing home.
Plan for independent daily use
Entry, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, storage, sound control, and shared systems all influence whether a suite works well for its occupants and the rest of the household.

Questions Calgary homeowners ask
Frequently asked questions.
How are suite entrances considered?
Entry location, circulation, privacy and the existing home are reviewed as part of the property-specific layout.
Can sound control and fire separation be planned?
Sound-control assemblies and life-safety or fire-separation requirements are considered with the applicable code and permit requirements for the project.
How are utilities handled for a secondary suite?
Existing heating, electrical, plumbing and utility access are reviewed so the construction scope can be coordinated.
Is my basement suitable for a secondary suite?
Suitability depends on the home, layout, access, services, egress and applicable requirements. A site-specific consultation is the useful first step.
