From Idea to Move-In – Our Step-by-Step Process
At Milan Builders, our process for building Garden Suites in Canada is clear, collaborative, and designed to give homeowners confidence at every stage. We guide you from idea to move-in, with full transparency.
Our journey begins by understanding your vision and aligning it with local zoning and building regulations. Once permits are approved and plans are finalized, we take care of the entire construction process — managing timelines, materials, and craftsmanship to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience.
Permit Timeline: From Property Check to Green Light
We begin by evaluating your property to determine if a garden suite is feasible under local zoning bylaws. Not all lots qualify — setbacks, space, and city rules vary. Let’s find out if yours does.
With zoning limits defined, you can choose from our pre-designed models or collaborate on a custom plan. Design time varies based on layout, size, and detail level — from structure to finishes.
Beyond architectural drawings, most cities require a complete permit package. We help gather everything: land surveys, tree reports, grading plans, and more — so nothing slows you down.
Once your documents are ready, we submit your application. While we move fast (usually within one week), municipal review times vary. As soon as permits are approved, construction begins.
Construction Timeline
Your garden suite will be fully serviced — with water, drainage, and electricity — just like any home. Our licensed contractors trench and connect lines from the main house, following Ontario Building Code and ESA standards. All utility work is inspected and approved before construction proceeds.
A solid foundation is essential. We excavate the site, pour concrete footings, and install a slab base. Heated floors? We can embed them at this stage. Then we frame the suite with high-quality lumber and LVL beams where needed — built on-site, never prefabricated.
We seal and protect your suite with durable, weather-resistant materials. This includes siding, windows, roofing, gutters, and drainage systems. Our focus is on both function and curb appeal — the exterior will look as good as it performs.
Before closing the walls, we install plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems based on our mechanical plans. Everything is handled by certified Ontario professionals and inspected to meet code compliance.
With drywall up and insulation in place, our team begins transforming your space — installing flooring, cabinetry, tiles, doors, and fixtures. A walkthrough is conducted with you to review the work and identify any final tweaks.
Before occupancy approval, we take care of the last details — from appliances to towel bars. Once the home is clean and city-inspected, we hand over the keys to your brand-new garden suite. At Milan Builders, we build with care — and we’re here even after the build is done.
