Garden Suite Toronto

Professional Garden Suite Framing in the GTA

Building a garden suite in Toronto? Konstruction Group provides the framing, insulation, and drywall services that form the structural backbone of your backyard dwelling. Whether you're a general contractor building garden suites for clients or a homeowner acting as your own GC with permits in hand, we deliver the trade work that gets your project from foundation to paint-ready walls. We've completed dozens of garden suites and laneway houses across Toronto - from tight Leslieville lots to spacious North York properties.

What is a Garden Suite?

A garden suite is a self-contained residential unit built in the backyard of an existing home. Toronto legalized garden suites city-wide in February 2022, allowing homeowners to add rental income, house family members, or create flexible living space. Garden suites differ from laneway suites in that they don't require laneway access - they can be built on any qualifying residential lot. Typical sizes range from 400-1,000 square feet, and they must meet Ontario Building Code requirements for full dwelling units including bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and separate entrances.

For General Contractors & Builders

If you're a GC building garden suites for clients, we can be your reliable framing subcontractor. We understand the coordination required on tight residential sites - showing up when promised, working efficiently, and communicating proactively about scheduling. Many builders use us for their projects, bundling framing with soundproofing and fireproofing to keep one crew on site and simplify coordination. We carry $10M liability insurance and full WSIB coverage, so your projects are protected.

For Homeowners Acting as Their Own GC

Many Toronto homeowners manage their own garden suite projects to save on general contractor fees. If you've got your permits and foundation in place, we can handle the framing, insulation, and drywall - three major trades under one contract. For insulation, we offer spray foam for maximum energy efficiency or traditional batt options. For structural support, we install steel beams where open floor plans require them. You'll still need to coordinate other trades, but we make the structural phase straightforward.

Laneway Suite Expertise

Laneway suites face unique challenges: limited access for material delivery, tight spaces for crews to work, and coordination with existing structures. We've framed laneway houses throughout Toronto's older neighbourhoods - Leslieville, The Beaches, Riverdale, High Park - where crane access is impossible and lumber is hand-carried through narrow side yards. Our experience with constrained sites keeps your project on schedule.
