Home Additions & Extensions in Vancouver

Need more space? We build top, side, and rear additions that blend seamlessly with your existing home - adding comfort, function, and long-term value.

Adding on is often smarter than moving. A well-designed addition gives you the extra bedroom, the home office, or the rental income you need while keeping you in the neighbourhood you love. From second-storey additions to rear extensions, laneway homes, and garden suites, we expand your living space without disrupting your life or compromising your home's character.

Additions come with their own structural and permitting challenges - tying new construction into an existing structure, matching rooflines and finishes, and meeting municipal requirements for secondary dwellings. We manage all of it, so the new space looks like it was always meant to be there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a home addition in Vancouver?

Yes - additions require municipal building permits, and laneway homes and garden suites have their own zoning rules. We handle the full permit process for you.

How much does a laneway home or addition cost?

Additions and laneway homes typically start around $200,000 and rise with size and finish level. We provide a fixed-scope estimate after assessing your property.

Will the addition match my existing home?

That's the goal. We match rooflines, materials, and finishes so the new space integrates seamlessly with the original structure.
