Secondary suites · Kelowna
A suitebuilt to permit.
Basement and in-home secondary suites in Kelowna, built to the permit and the BC Building Code, with the scope and price written first.
Secondary suites
A suite is a second home inside your home. It has to separate fire and sound, give a way out, and pass inspection. We price it against the permit drawings, not a guess at the end of a tour.

Questions
people ask.
Can my basement become a legal suite?
It depends on ceiling height, exits, windows, parking and zoning. We look before we price, and the City of Kelowna permit decides.
Who deals with the City?
The work order names who applies for each permit. Permitted work does not start before the permit is issued.
Do you finish the suite or just rough it in?
Either. The scope says exactly where our work ends.
