What Are Legal Secondary Suites?

A legal secondary suite is a self-contained unit that fulfills all the legal Calgary secondary suite requirements, and is legally referred to as a residence. However, it can’t be sold as a separate space. Your basement can be transformed into a dazzling secondary suite so you can hang out with friends, bring in relatives or even rent it out! This is a versatile and attractive addition to your home, and can either be used as a chilling space, or rented out to create a new income stream!

Legal secondary suites can be useful for additional rental income and increase the overall value of the property. With many people moving away from bigger cities like Toronto and settling in Calgary and surrounding areas a higher influx in the market value of properties is seen. With a legal secondary suite in your home you can utilize it to make it a source of income or just make it a lifestyle change and add value to your property which attracts investors. You can also start generating ROI (Return on Investment) in no time!

Also there are no hidden fees or prices: you pay exactly what you see. As long as you do not modify the scope of work you choose, your quoted price is guaranteed from the day you receive it until the day your project is done! - We will bear any additional fees (not you)!

In short, here’s what a Secondary Suite can be used for:

Rent it out or keep it as a spare

Have a friend or family member move in.

Create additional income streams.

Documentation, Done For You!

It is not possible to sell a supplementary suite as a separate property since it is required to have its own permits. Your legal suite in Calgary will have all of the necessary papers obtained well before we begin building, so you can have peace of mind knowing that we will take care of it. We will make sure to thoroughly go through your state’s Calgary secondary suite requirements for building secondary suites in Calgary and get the documentation right the first time for a seamless and smooth construction process. Some essential permits we get are: 

  • Development Permit: A planning approval before you request for other permits.
  • Building Approval: Approval to make sure structure meets building safety requirements.
  • Electrical Permit: For all installations and renovations.

 

Westaim can also help you fulfill the standard requirements for a secondary legal suite. All suites must have:

  • Proper egress windows in all bedrooms.
  • A separate bathroom from the main dwelling unit.
  • Separate kitchen or cooking area/ facilities.
  • A shared stairwell.
  • An entrance accessible from outside without passing the main dwelling unit. 

 

Westaim will help you prepare the application details along with the required documents and plans. You can leave the documentation and permit worries to Westaim, we’re here to take care of it!

Getting To Know You

Once we get to know you, we get to understand what you want and how exactly to build it. That is our guarantee, and that is what bringing success to you is all about. We make sure to sit down with you and discuss each and every detail about your goals for the secondary suite before we begin the designing and building process.

We will put in great effort to learn How will you use the secondary suite in Calgary now and in the years to come? Where will the unit be located: in your current house, in an addition or extension to your home, or as an independent building on your property? How much do you want to invest on it? What is the size of the planned secondary suite Calgary and how many rooms will it have? What facilities and finishes do you desire, etc.?

Building For Flexibility

You already know that you'll have to make a lot of decisions before you begin creating your secondary suite in Calgary. Some of these decisions may feel like you're committing to a tight plan for the future.

However, our bespoke constructions and renovations which come with a 5-year unlimited warranty covering everything we do and proving that our work and materials are the best in the business are designed to be adaptable so that the space can meet your evolving demands. We strive for features that are both contemporary and accessible.

We consider features such as a curbless shower and corridors large enough to accommodate a wheelchair, as well as rooms that can be quickly adapted for different purposes. These may include a games area that doubles as a main-floor bedroom or a fitness room that can be simply converted into a home office.
