The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver put together a comprehensive chart about secondary suite. This chat is based on the old Building codes (BCBC 2006). However, new codes are out and many things have changed. You can see the chart by clicking here.
Regardless of changes, some facts are still the same about legal secondary suites. Metamorphous Interiors solely promotes legal secondary suites and we do not advice to home owners to consider this document as a sole reference for their next Secondary Suite project.
If you are considering a legal secondary suite, we recommend hiring a professional and consult with your local authorities. We will post more topics about secondary suite and our findings. You can check this page weekly to find more about secondary suite or contact us and see what we have to offer.
