Coach Homes & Garden Suites

01 · What Is This Service?

Coach homes and garden suites are detached secondary dwellings built on the same lot as a primary home, providing rental income, space for family, or a private studio. Hans Development designs and builds laneway homes and garden suites that maximize compact square footage with thoughtful layouts, full kitchens and baths, and energy-efficient construction that meets BC's secondary suite regulations.

02 · When Is This Service Necessary?

A coach home or garden suite is the right choice when you want rental income from your property, a private space for extended family, a home office or studio, or when you're planning for aging-in-place near relatives. It's also ideal when your lot has lane access and zoning permits a detached suite.

03 · What Is Required for This Service?

Building a coach home or garden suite requires confirmed zoning for a secondary suite, a site plan addressing setbacks and parking, and municipal permits including utility connections. You'll need a compact, efficient design and a budget. Hans Development handles zoning review, design, permitting, and construction so your suite is delivered compliant and turnkey.
