Can you build a coach home on your lot?
Enter your Ontario address and lot dimensions. We check municipal rules, map your buildable rear yard, and show which FastUP™ models fit — with estimated rental income.
For reference only. Lot size, setbacks, house footprint, and model fit are estimates — accuracy depends on survey data and municipal rules. We handle planning, permitting, and architectural work.
Coach home questions
What is a coach home in Ontario?
A coach home (also called a garden suite or additional dwelling unit) is a small secondary residence on the same lot as a main house. Ontario Bill 23 allows up to three units on many urban lots. Rules for size, setbacks, and height vary by municipality.
How does the Solisterra Coach House Wizard work?
Enter your Ontario address and lot width and depth. The wizard places your property, applies local coach-house bylaws, estimates your main-house footprint, and shows a lot diagram with setbacks. You see which FastUP™ models fit your rear yard, plus estimated monthly rental income.
Which coach home models are available?
Solisterra evaluates six FastUP™ designs: The Student (282 sqft), The Betty (300 sqft), The Coach (400 sqft), The Garden House (500 sqft), Mid Century (800 sqft), The Megan (1000 sqft). All models are FastUP™ designs by Solisterra Homes Inc. Each unit meets or exceeds the National Building Code of Canada and is built for superior thermal protection and energy efficiency.
Can I check any Ontario address?
Yes. This page is the public lot tool. Enter the address and the lot dimensions from your survey. The result is indicative and should be confirmed with the municipality before you build.
Does Solisterra handle permits and design?
Yes. Estimates on this page are for reference. Solisterra Homes handles planning, permitting, and architectural work. Send the book-a-call form after your results to talk about the lot and the model.
Which cities does the wizard support?
The engine includes confirmed rules for Ottawa, Toronto, Hamilton, and Niagara Falls, with provincial defaults for other Ontario municipalities. Always confirm final eligibility with your city before building.
Lot fit, setbacks, and rent are estimates. Confirm the survey and the municipal rules before you build. Solisterra Homes handles planning, permitting, and the FastUP™ install.
