Pre-Reviewed Detached Additional Residential Units (ARUs) in Kingston

 

Adding a detached Additional Residential Unit (ARU) to your property just got easier! The City of Kingston has partnered with local companies to develop pre-reviewed building plans that comply with Ontario Building Code standards and have been previously checked by building staff. This program aims to simplify the process for property owners looking to enhance their homes with a secondary suite. Reddens Contracting Inc. has worked with House of Three to develop a pre-reviewed building plan that complies with this program.

 

Important Consideration

It’s important to note that having plans pre-reviewed for Building Code compliance does not guarantee they meet the local Zoning Bylaw. Each property will still need to be assessed during the final permit process to ensure compliance with local zoning regulations. Since each lot configuration and ARU placement can differ, this step is essential.

 

Faster Review Process

While you still need to submit your ARU Building Permit application to the City of Kingston, using our pre-reviewed plan will significantly speed up the review process as it has been vetted by City building staff.

 

If you’re considering adding a detached ARU to your property, our pre-reviewed plan can make the process smoother and more efficient. Ensure you check zoning compliance through the final permit process, and you’ll be on your way to creating additional living space in no time! The hardest part will be choosing a colour!
