Additional Dwelling Units in East York

Atlas Designs provides Additional Dwelling Units in East York and across Toronto. We build each package around the property, the municipality and the approval path that best fits the scope.

East York is part of one of our favourite permit markets to work in. For Toronto-area projects like these, we build the drawing package around City of Toronto review expectations, local lot conditions and the type of dwelling unit being proposed.

In East York, we focus on permit-ready drawings that anticipate common zoning and code questions early, which helps keep the submission cleaner once it reaches review.

FAQ

What counts as an ADU in East York?
An ADU is an additional dwelling unit on a residential property. Depending on the property and the municipality, that can include a basement apartment, garden suite, laneway house or another approved unit type.

Can I build more than one ADU in East York?
That depends on the municipality, the lot and the type of additional units proposed. We review the property first so the design starts from what is actually permitted.

Do ADU projects in East York need full permit drawings?
Yes. Even when the concept seems straightforward, ADUs still need a coordinated permit package that addresses zoning, code and construction scope.

George did all drawings and granted permits for a secondary basement unit. I am very happy with the service, the constant follow ups and making sure we have guidance throughout construction phase. Highly recommended.

We engaged Atlas Designs to assist with a residential alteration to an existing building (floor plan changes, permit submission). From start to finish, the team was highly professional, responsive, and knowledgeable about municipal permit requirements. Thanks to their expertise, we successfully secured our building permit without any major delays or issues. We wholeheartedly recommend Atlas Designs for any residential permit/alteration project and also architectural designs. There are amazing.

I had an excellent experience working with Atlas Designs to obtain a building permit. George was always responsive, patient and willing to help. He listened to my ideas, but also brought his own, better ones. He revised the drawings when I asked to change them and answered all my questions repeatedly. He completed his work on time and always communicated clearly and promptly. I highly recommend working with George!
