Our ADU Construction Process: From Vision to Handover

Transforming your property shouldn’t be a complex puzzle. At Pacd Homes, we’ve refined a proven 5-Step Process designed to navigate Ontario’s evolving municipal regulations while delivering high-performance living spaces. Whether you are maximizing your current footprint with an internal conversion, expanding outward with an attached addition, or building a premium detached garden suite, our workflow remains consistent, transparent, and expert-led.

Every project – from our streamlined pre-engineered models to one-of-a-kind custom builds – follows the same rigorous standards for architectural integrity and site-specific engineering. 

Our Unique Detached ADU Models: Designs for Ontario Properties

Experience the freedom of a detached living space designed for privacy and flexibility. Our models serve as a premium foundation for rental income or family retreats –simply choose your layout and add the custom touches that make it home.

Free Initial Consultation

Our process starts with a free initial consultation. Our ADU specialists visit your property to understand your vision, assess possibilities, and discuss your goals without any obligation. During this session, we explore your specific needs, budget considerations, and timeline.

On-Site Assessment & Feasibility Study

Our ADU specialists conduct a comprehensive property evaluation examining soil conditions, utility connections, and zoning compliance. Our assessment covers zoning, services such as plumbing and electrical, size, and restrictions, ensuring your dwelling unit project proceeds smoothly.

Design & Permit Approval

We guide you through the full design and permitting process, starting with selecting the ADU model that best fits your property and goals. From there, we prepare detailed architectural drawings and manage all permit applications. Every submission is carefully aligned with municipal requirements to help projects move quickly through planning review across Ontario municipalities.

Construction & Quality Control

Professional construction by our dedicated ADU team ensures your dwelling unit meets both building code requirements and our superior craftsmanship standards. Weekly updates keep you informed without being overwhelmed.

Final Inspection & Handover

Your completed ADU undergoes a thorough inspection. We handle all documentation, occupancy permits, and utility connections, providing ongoing support after completion.

4 ADU Types: Privacy Without Compromise

Maximize Your Home’s Footprint: The Internal ADU Advantage

Turn underutilized square footage into a high-value asset without the cost of new construction. While detached builds often require complex
foundations and significant yard space, an Internal Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) leverages your home’s existing structure to create a legal,
self-sufficient residence.

At PACD Homes, we specialize in navigating Ontario’s strict building codes to convert basements, attics, and garages into premium living spaces. Whether you are looking to offset your mortgage with $1,500– $3,000 in monthly rental income or create a private sanctuary for family, our internal conversions offer the fastest, most cost-effective path to increasing your property’s value.

Why Choose an Internal ADU?

  • The Most Affordable Entry Point Starts at ~$80k, utilizing your home’s existing foundation and utilities.
  • Minimal Disruption: Construction is contained within your current footprint—no yard space lost.
  • Legal & Compliant: PACD handles all Ontario Building Code (OBC) requirements, including fire safety, soundproofing, and separate entrances.
  • Flexible Utility: Perfect for multi-generational living (aging parents), a private guest suite, or a professional rental.
