Professional garden suite services in Mississauga and Peel Region. Licensed, insured, free estimates.
Planning a garden suite in Mississauga? Konstruction Group provides the framing, insulation, and drywall services that form the structural core of your backyard dwelling. Mississauga homeowners across Port Credit, Streetsville, Erin Mills, and Lorne Park are adding Additional Residential Units (ARUs) to their properties — and we deliver the trade work that takes your project from foundation to paint-ready walls.
Mississauga permits Additional Residential Units (ARUs) as detached garden suites under Peel Region's official plan and the City's updated zoning by-law. Garden suites in Mississauga must be between 55 and 100 square metres in size. The City offers pre-approved architectural plans to streamline the permit process, saving homeowners design costs and approval time. Your property must have adequate lot area, meet rear and side yard setback requirements, and provide parking as specified. A building permit is required, and the unit must meet Ontario Building Code standards for a full dwelling — including bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, and a separate entrance.
Mississauga's housing market makes garden suites an attractive investment. With average home prices among the highest in the GTA outside Toronto, adding a rental unit generates significant income. Neighborhoods like Port Credit and Lorne Park have large lots well-suited for backyard dwellings, while areas like Erin Mills and Meadowvale offer suburban lots that comfortably accommodate garden suites within setback requirements. Mississauga's proximity to Toronto employment centres via the GO Transit network also makes garden suites desirable rental units for commuters.
Mississauga offers pre-approved garden suite designs that can significantly reduce your permit timeline and architectural costs. These plans have already been reviewed for zoning compliance, so approval is faster. We're experienced with framing to pre-approved plan specifications and can also frame custom designs. Whether you're using a pre-approved plan or a custom architectural design, we ensure the structural work meets all Ontario Building Code requirements.
You provide architectural and structural drawings. We review framing requirements, identify steel beam needs, and assess site access.
