Frustrated by Contradicting

Information About Garden Suites?

You're not alone. Many Toronto homeowners are missing out on thousands in monthly income because of these common misconceptions:

  • "My lot is too small"

    Garden suites can be built on lots as small as 25 feet wide

  • "The permit process is a nightmare"

    Our team has permit-ready designs to fast track construction

  • "I've been told it's not possible"

    Recent bylaw changes have made garden suites possible for 80% of Toronto properties. Even if you've been told "no" before, the rules have likely changed

  • "I don't have time to manage a big project"

    Our full-service approach means we handle everything—you make

    the key decisions, we do all the work.

"Robert B and his team did an absolutely fantastic job... They made significant efforts to parallel track everything to get the job done as quickly as possible. Max and his team did phenomenal work while also pandering to our small kid. Overall, great work by Norseman. We felt like we made the right choice."

"We are thrilled with the results! Our PM worked hard every day to keep us up to date with how the project was progressing and was available almost 24/7 to answer any questions we had. We really appreciate everything he did for us. We even received comments from neighbors about how impressed they were with the speed things moved and how there was someone working on our project everyday, even weekends! Would recommend Norseman any day!"

Frequently Asked Question

How long does the garden suite process typically take?

Every garden suite and laneway project is unique, with timelines varying based on property specifics, design complexity, and current city approval processing times. While we customize timelines for each client, most projects follow a general sequence: design development (typically several weeks), permit approval process (varies based on city processing times), and construction (which depends on the size and complexity of your garden suite). During your initial consultation, we'll provide a more accurate timeline estimate based on your specific project requirements and current conditions.

Are you a licensed garden suite builder in the Toronto area?

Yes! Norseman Construction is a fully licensed and insured home builder serving North York, Toronto, and the surrounding GTA. We maintain all required certifications and strictly adhere to local building codes and regulations for garden suite construction.

How disruptive is the construction to my property?

We take great care to minimize disruption to your home and lifestyle. All construction is contained to your backyard with dedicated access points where possible. Most clients report minimal impact on their daily lives during the construction phase.

What's the ROI timeframe?

Most of our clients see complete ROI within 8-10 years through rental income alone. When factoring in property value increases (typically 20-30%), the investment often pays for itself even faster. We'll provide you with a detailed ROI projection specific to your property.

How do you handle permits and city approvals?

We have permit-ready designs and our team includes zoning specialists who handle 100% of the permitting process. We have a 98% first-time approval rate with the City of Toronto and maintain excellent relationships with all relevant departments. You'll never have to deal with city bureaucracy.
