Carriage & Laneway HOmes

Add Liveable Space to Your Property
The BC Government has introduced legislation aimed at increasing small-scale, multi-unit housing in the province by forcing municipalities to change zoning rules to make it easier to build cottage homes, town homes, multiplexes, and laneway houses.
This presents an opportunity for homeowners to add more liveable space from their property, whether for the family, in-laws, or rental tenants.
Yager has years of experience building cottage homes across the province and would be happy to help you make more from what you’ve got. For more information, contact us today!
How it works
-
We start with an in-depth consultation to discuss your vision for your new laneway or carriage home. Our team takes the time to understand your lifestyle needs, budget, and any specific design preferences, whether you’re planning a guest suite, rental space, or a private home office. During this phase, we’ll explore your goals and discuss how your new space can integrate seamlessly with your existing property. Our experts will answer any questions, helping you gain a clear picture of the process ahead and laying the foundation for a successful project.
-
Building a laneway or carriage home requires careful planning to meet local zoning and building regulations. Our team collaborates closely with local authorities to handle all necessary permits and approvals on your behalf. We stay up-to-date with any regulatory changes to ensure a smooth application process and eliminate potential delays. From zoning checks to final permits, we guide your project through this critical stage, prioritizing efficiency and compliance so you can feel confident about every step forward.
-
Once permits are in place, our design and construction teams get to work bringing your dream space to life. We involve you in key design choices, offering our professional guidance to select the best materials, layouts, and finishes for durability and style. Throughout the construction phase, our team maintains clear communication with you to ensure your carriage or laneway home reflects your initial vision. With an eye on quality and timelines, we manage every detail to deliver a structure that exceeds your expectations.

After the build is complete, we’ll conduct a final walkthrough to ensure every aspect of your laneway or carriage home meets our high standards—and yours. We’re here to answer questions, introduce you to key features, and confirm that all your finishing details are perfect. Now, all that’s left is for you to enjoy the benefits of a thoughtfully designed and expertly built space, tailored to your needs and ready to be part of your everyday life.
