How do I know if I can build an addition on my lot?

It depends on your zoning: setbacks from the lot lines, maximum height, lot coverage and floor area. We review these for your address at the start and tell you what fits as of right and what would need a variance.

What is a minor variance?

It is permission from your municipality's Committee of Adjustment to build slightly outside a zoning rule, such as a reduced setback. It involves an application and a public hearing, and it happens before the building permit.

Home Additions in Brampton

An addition gives you the space you need without leaving the street you like. We design it to look like it was always part of the house and tie it properly into the existing structure. In Brampton, most homes are subdivision houses built from the 1970s to today, many with basements suited to a second unit.

Before you start

What to know.

Zoning comes first
Every lot has limits on how far, how high and how much of it you can build on. We check those before design begins. If the addition goes beyond them, a minor variance from the Committee of Adjustment is needed.
Permits
All additions need a building permit, with drawings showing structure, insulation and how the new part connects to the old.
Joining old and new
The connection is the hard part: matching floor levels, carrying the loads of the opened wall, and extending heating and plumbing.
