This stunning garage suite project is located a short drive from Cochrane in the rural Rockyview County. Originally based off our “Sampson” package, the suite has taken on a fully custom design that gives it the “farmhouse” look to match our client’s soon-to-be-built house.

Apart from the fully customized floorplan and exterior elevation, this suite has an impressive list of features including:

• Two custom carports
• Extended garage
• Smartboard siding
• Additional bathroom on ground level
• Black exterior windows with white interior

…and so much more!

One of the great benefits of building a backyard suite in a rural area near Calgary is the fact that you don’t have to wait a long time for the development permit. In fact, for Rockyview residents, you skip the DP all together and apply for a building permit as your first step in the process. Therefore, from design to build, your time to build a garage suite like this is significantly shortened — potentially just two months or less between our first design consultation and when we break ground.

Utility connections for this rural garage suite project in Rockyview will be a challenge. That being said, we know what process we have to follow to successfully connect sewer, water, natural gas and electricity to the suite, and are currently coordinating with the municipality to make sure all goes smoothly.

Located just a few minutes east of Cochrane, Rockyview County is a great place to live if you value privacy and enjoy the great outdoors without losing access to the big city amenities.

Home to some of Calgary’s most exclusive and luxurious properties, Rockyview acreage landowners should have no issues pursuing backyard suite projects because of the size of the lots. Utility connections can be a limiting factor, therefore homeowners will need to carefully plan the location of a garage suite so that extensive trenching isn’t required (which can drive up costs significantly).
