Our Home Addition Services
Second-Storey Additions
Want more space but don’t wish to sacrifice your backyard? We can design a second-storey addition that expands your living area while allowing you to preserve your outdoor space. Our team assesses your existing foundation and structure to determine what options are viable for your Burnaby home.
Bedroom Additions
Are you expecting a new family member or would like to add a comfortable guest room? A Bedroom addition gives each individual their own private space. We design the most efficient layouts that connect naturally with your home.
Kitchen & Dining Room Additions
When you have limited space in the kitchen, it can make everyday activities and family dinners difficult. Our kitchen and dining room additions in Burnaby provide you with extra room for cooking, storage, gatherings, and entertaining. We plan functional spaces with options such as custom cabinets and quartz or granite countertops to improve the use of your home.
Bathroom Additions
A bathroom addition gives your family more privacy and comfort. We design functional bathrooms with modern fixtures, spacious walk-in showers, heated floors, and storage solutions that suit your needs. Our team ensures your new bathroom blends naturally with your existing home.
Home Office Additions
When you work from home, having a designated space away from everyday distractions is essential. We design home office additions that include ample natural light, sufficient storage, personalization, and the electrical connections needed for a comfortable workstation.
Rental Units
Adding a rental suite creates an additional income source by providing separate living areas for tenants or relatives. We plan the space design, access, privacy, and all building system components, as well as ensure compliance with Burnaby’s zoning by-law and permit requirements.
Rear Additions
Additions to the back of your home allow you to create additional space for larger living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, offices, and at-home gyms. We carefully plan the connection between your home and the new space to maintain a consistent appearance and comfortable flow.
Side Additions
If your property has enough available space, a side addition can increase your home’s floor area without changing its existing height. We evaluate your property to review Burnaby’s minimum setback requirements, lot coverage limits, and structural requirements before developing your design.
Deck & Outdoor Living Additions
Spend more time outside enjoying nature with a custom deck or covered outdoor living space that flows seamlessly with your home. We design outdoor additions for Burnaby’s climate conditions, using high-quality materials and thoughtful layouts that promote year-round use.

Steps in the Additions Process
Our design-build approach includes project management throughout every stage of your home addition, from the first conversation until the final walkthrough.
1. Initial Consultation
During this meeting, we discuss your goals, needs, preferred style, budget, and how you intend to use the additional space.
2. Property Assessment
We analyze your existing home’s structure, foundation, lot conditions, zoning requirements, and available space to define what is possible to do on your property.
3. Design & Budget Planning
We develop floor plans that tie together the addition with your existing home and then develop a detailed budget which outlines the specific materials and finishes, as well as all construction details.
4. Permits & Approvals
Before starting the construction, we coordinate the required drawings, engineering, and permit applications with the City of Burnaby. Additional development, electrical, or plumbing permits may be required.
5. Construction & Final Walkthrough
Our project managers coordinate trades, track the project’s progress, and maintain clear communication throughout construction to reduce delays and address challenges early. At the end, we conduct a final walkthrough.
