Our latest Silver Springs backyard suite – one of many projects we have in the area – began as a custom maximum-sized design with 804 square feet of building envelope and 850 s.f. of living space.

During the design phase, the client fully customized the floorplan, switching from a two bedroom layout to a one bedroom with a master ensuite. Our clients selected several upgrades during the design phase, the most notable of which:

• James Hardie exterior cladding
• Smartboard exterior cladding
• Custom woodgrain garage
• Black, triple-pane windows
• Double 4-foot by 4-foot skylights
• Blue stainless steel Samsung appliances
• Understair storage
• Painted garage with knock-down ceiling finish
• Second half-bathroom for guests
• Luxurious light fixtures

With no rear lane power pole, our client required a direct connection to underground power services by Enmax. We initiated this process during the development permit and received a substantial quote cost for the power connection, which we managed to get reduced significantly for our client through hard work and determination.

Silver Springs is a great community for backyard suite construction. Many lots are very large with 50-foot widths and 120-foot depths where the houses are largely centered on the property, allowing for lots of room to build a garage suite.

One important consideration for Silver Springs laneway homes will be the electrical connection. While some properties in the area have a rear lane pole, most do not, meaning these lots will have to connect to underground services for power. If that is the case for your property, be prepared to pay extra for your suite’s electrical connection, to be determined by the utility provider once the design is submitted as part of a development permit package.

If your power trench and wire requirements are lengthy, you can expect to pay a significant amount for this connection. If your power supply isn’t that far away from the suite, then you may be in luck.
