Ottawa & Toronto · Address-based zoning check
Will it fit? Check your lot before you pay for drawings.
Enter your address. We pull the real lot, run the setbacks and coverage rules, and show which projects are worth pricing — garden suite, addition, multiplex, pool, or rebuild.
Catches the things that usually kill projects: rear-yard depth, lot coverage caps, the 1.0 m fire-access path, protected trees.
Sample card. Enter your address above for your real envelope.
Pick a project
What are you thinking of building?
Each one runs the same check against your address: setbacks, lot coverage, unit count, height.
Add an income unit
Garden suite, basement apartment, or multiplex.
These have the most zoning constraints, and the most expensive surprises if you skip the check.
- Rear-yard depth & separation distance
- ADU footprint cap & storey limit
- 1.0 m fire-access path to rear
Build out or up
Addition or second storey. We check the interior side yard, rear setback, and your lot coverage cap.
Pool, cabana, or shed
Rear-yard limits, pool fence rules, and accessory-structure setbacks.
Tear down and rebuild
Buildable footprint, max height, max units, lot coverage — before you offer.
What you'd see

What kills projects
Same handful of things, every time.
These are what stop projects after the homeowner has already paid for drawings or design.
Caught here, these are footnotes. Caught after drawings, quotes, or permit prep, they're write-offs.
What we actually check
What happens when you enter an address.
Seven things, in this order. You see the result. We do the math.
Who uses it
Three different reasons to check an address.
Find out if your idea fits before you start calling people.
See which projects are realistic on your lot, then go into contractor calls knowing the setbacks, the coverage cap, and the unit limit already.
Check my addressLeads that already know the lot.
Homeowners arrive with their setbacks, envelope, and project fit already mapped. Less educating, more quoting.
Become a partnerScreen the upside before you price.
Buildable area, max units, and the constraints that move the deal — before the offer goes in.
