Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) 

Auxiliary Dwelling Units (ADUs), commonly known as lane houses in Canada, are self-contained residential units built on the same lot as a primary home, often in backyards or above garages. As the first ADU specialists in Canada trained by the ADU Specialist Academy in the USA, we understand the value these units bring to homeowners and communities. ADUs offer increased housing options, rental income potential, and enhanced property value, making them a smart investment. They also address housing shortages by creating additional living space for family members, guests, or tenants without expanding the main house. Additionally, ADUs promote sustainable urban development by utilizing existing infrastructure, reducing urban sprawl, and supporting walkable communities. Their small footprint makes them energy-efficient, often leading to lower utility costs. Whether used for rental income, multi-generational living, or a personal workspace, lane houses provide a flexible and forward-thinking solution in modern urban housing.
