FAQs
How long does a basement suite conversion take?
Most projects finish in 8–12 weeks from permit approval.
Do I need rezoning or a variance?
We check local bylaws; many South Okanagan municipalities allow secondary suites by right in single‑family zones.
Can you work while we’re living upstairs?
Yes—our crews follow strict dust and noise controls to keep your living space comfortable.
Will a suite increase my property taxes?
Yes, but rental income typically offsets the increase many times over.
