Laneway Homes in Burnaby & the Tri-Cities
Metro Vancouver's inner suburbs are opening up fast to backyard housing. With large lots, strong rental demand, and provincial legislation pushing municipalities to allow more homes per lot, Burnaby and the Tri-Cities are among the best places in BC to add a laneway home or garden suite.
01 — Bylaws & feasibility
What Burnaby & Tri-Cities allows
Burnaby, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, and Port Moody each permit forms of detached accessory housing, with programs that have expanded significantly under BC's small-scale multi-unit housing legislation. Rules differ by municipality — lot size, lane access, and servicing all matter. We handle the feasibility review municipality by municipality.
02 — Why modular here
Why modular here
We're next door in Surrey — short delivery runs, easy site visits, and crews familiar with Metro Vancouver site conditions. CSA A277 factory certification keeps plan review predictable, and the home arrives finished instead of spending months as a backyard construction site.
