From Concept to Keys — A Seamless Laneway Home Journey
At Simply Laneways, we make building a laneway home simple and stress-free. Whether you’re looking to create extra living space, generate rental income, or build for family, our step-by-step process ensures your project is completed smoothly — from the first sketch to the moment we hand you the keys.
Property Assessment
Every successful project starts with understanding your property. We assess your lot's size, zoning, access, and site conditions to determine what's possible under local bylaws. We'll identify potential opportunities and any challenges, ensuring your property is a great fit for a laneway home.
Design & Planning
Working closely with you, our team designs a laneway home that fits your lifestyle, budget, and property. We balance functionality, style, and municipal requirements to create a customized plan. You’ll be involved throughout the design process to ensure the final concept aligns with your vision.
Building Permit Application
Once the design is finalized, we prepare and submit all required documents to the city for permit approval. Our team manages this entire process on your behalf, coordinating with municipal staff and addressing any feedback to secure your building permit as smoothly as possible.
Budget Preparation
With permits in hand, we develop a clear and detailed budget. We provide transparent pricing for all aspects of construction — from site preparation to finishing touches — so you know exactly where every dollar goes. We work with you to align the budget with your priorities.
Construction
This is where your laneway home comes to life. Our experienced construction team handles everything from excavation to final finishes. Throughout the build, we maintain high-quality craftsmanship, regular communication, and strict safety standards. You’ll receive consistent updates, so you always know the status of your project.
Final Inspections
Before you move in, the home must pass a series of municipal inspections. We coordinate all final inspections and address any items quickly to ensure your laneway home meets all local codes and regulations.
Occupancy & Key Handoff
Once inspections are complete and occupancy is granted, we hand you the keys! Your laneway home is now ready for you to enjoy — whether it’s for family, rental income, or a personal retreat.
