Detached structures framed to the same standard as the main home.

A garden suite or pool house is a smaller structure — but it carries the same framing requirements as any other building on the property. The walls need to be plumb. The floor needs to be level. The roof needs to shed water and carry its load. And because these structures sit close to property lines, the tolerances on layout and setback accuracy matter more, not less.

We frame detached backyard structures with the same discipline we bring to full custom home builds. The scale is smaller. The standard is not. Garden suites in particular are subject to municipal setback requirements, building permit conditions, and in many cases, laneway or accessory dwelling unit regulations that affect how the structure is positioned and built. We work from your approved drawings and build what the permit calls for.

Pool houses and cabanas present their own framing considerations — proximity to water, humidity exposure, and the finish expectations that come with a luxury backyard environment. We frame these structures to give the cladding, roofing, and interior finish trades a solid, true substrate to work from.

Whether it’s a fully self-contained garden suite with its own mechanical systems or a poolside cabana with a simple roof and open walls, we frame it right and hand it off clean.

01

Permit Drawing Review & Site Verification

We review your approved permit drawings in full before we begin. Setback dimensions, foundation layout, structural details, and roof geometry are all confirmed against the site conditions before any material is ordered or cut.

02

Estimate & Schedule

You receive a clear scope and price. Detached accessory structures are typically faster to frame than the main home — we give you a realistic timeline and sequence that coordinates with your other site trades.

03

Precise On-Site Framing

We frame the structure from the foundation up — floor system, walls, and roof — to the approved drawings and to the standard the finish trades expect. Setback accuracy, plumb walls, and a true roof plane are non-negotiable on every job we take on, regardless of scale.
