 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used IDS for a bathroom design and rebuild about a year ago.  We were very pleased with Kev's process, management and quality of delivery. When we moved to a condo earlier this year, we felt confident enough to hire IDS for a major overhaul of the condo, obviously a much bigger project. And our confidence was totally justified.  The quality and thoroughness of the design (a gutted and completely rebuilt kitchen), the workmanship, the commitment to the planned schedule, the flexibility responding to new options during the work, the availability of Kev at all times - this is the standard of IDS. We are so grateful as we live in our condo that we only discover new examples of how well the design and workmanship were done.  We cannot recommend this company highly enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. IDS demolished a 3-piece bathroom in our house and rebuilt it from scratch.  The project came in on schedule, and exactly as designed.  Kev has a solid design sense and produced something modern and compatible with the rest of the house.  Kev is a great planner, manages his trades effectively and also implements his plan as promised.  We will certainly use this firm for any future renovation work we want done.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We completed the main floor remodel including the kitchen and enlarge the entire front porch deck. Kevork and the team were amazing. Their attention to detail and responsiveness made the project proceed smoothly, and now, approx 10 months after completion, we are very satisfied. The design achieved our goal of adding value and utility to our house, and there have been no issues whatsoever. We highly recommend Bianco Design & Build!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are so happy with the work that IDS has done on our home. Everything from the design, to the work, to the friendliness and professionalism of the team has been exceptional. We were meeting with a few teams to get an idea of what we could do and Kevork arrived with ideas for the floor plan already drawn, how to optimize the space better, and examples/testimonials so we could visualize his other projects. Throughout the project he gave us renderings of the rooms, incorporated all of our feedback, came to choose materials with us and was very transparent about pricing and timelines. He was very organized, took our calls and answered emails very promptly and minimized the stress of the renovation. His team is great, all our neighbours commented on the professionalism of the team. Everyone who walks into our home is amazed by the level of craftsmanship and design details. We highly highly recommend IDS!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kev helped us convert our basement into a legal second unit, and we greatly appreciated the work he and his team did. The project had its own set of obstacles, but Kev and his team managed to think of creative ways to overcome them. Kev was really patient with answering my questions regarding the project and he showed great people skills when it comes to communicating with city inspectors and other related parties.  I would highly recommend IDS!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kevork is polite and highly professional. He sent us 3D design of the bathroom, and after our approval the project was done within the agreed time line. They covered all areas with special protective film and kept the house clean during the whole renovation. The quality of finishing is very high which is quite rare these days! I am extremely happy with Kevork and am planning to her new projects with him soon!

Our Garden Suite Building Process

Bianco Design & Build team reviewing renovation plans

Step 1: Backyard Suitability Review

We start by looking at how your backyard can support a detached suite. This includes access, available space, privacy, sunlight, drainage, servicing, and how the new structure would relate to the main home.

We also discuss who the suite is for and how it should function, whether it is meant for family, guests, rental use, or a private backyard living space.

Step 2: Suite Layout & Approvals

Next, we shape the garden suite layout around comfort, privacy, and efficient everyday living. We plan the kitchen, bathroom, sleeping area, storage, windows, entry points, and outdoor connection so the space feels complete, not cramped.

Our team then prepares the required drawings, coordinates technical details, and manages the permit process before construction begins.

Step 3: Backyard Build & Finishing

Once approvals are in place, we build the garden suite with careful attention to structure, access, exterior details, utilities, and interior comfort.

We coordinate the trades, review the work at key stages, complete the final finishes, and walk you through the finished backyard suite before handover.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are laneway houses and garden suites the same thing?

Not always. A garden suite is usually located in the backyard, while a laneway house is typically built near a laneway. Both can create detached living space, but the design depends on the property layout, access, and local requirements.

Can a garden suite be built in a small backyard?

It depends on the lot size, setbacks, access, servicing, and municipal rules. A property assessment helps determine whether your backyard can support a suite and what size may be possible.

Can a backyard suite have a full kitchen and bathroom?

Yes. A backyard suite can be designed as a complete living space with a kitchen, bathroom, sleeping area, living space, storage, and mechanical systems.

How do you keep a garden suite private?

Privacy can be planned through window placement, entrances, fencing, landscaping, lighting, and the way the suite is positioned in relation to the main home and neighbouring properties.

Can a garden suite be used for rental income?

In many cases, a garden suite may be used as a rental unit, but rental use depends on local rules and property requirements. These details should be reviewed during the planning stage.

What makes a backyard house comfortable year-round?

A well-built backyard house needs proper insulation, heating, cooling, ventilation, natural light, storage, and durable finishes so it feels comfortable in every season.
