Why an ADU?

Four ways to make better use of your lot.

An ADU small home can meet different needs over time, while letting you make better use of the space already available on your property.

01

Additional income

Depending on applicable regulations, the rental market and the conditions of your project, an ADU can let you generate additional rental income.

02

A home for your loved ones

Offer a parent, an adult child or a loved one an independent, comfortable home just steps from your residence.

03

A more versatile property

A well-designed, well-integrated home can expand the ways your property can be used and add to its appeal.

04

A space of your own

Office, workshop, studio or a place to host guests: Ikaria can adapt to your situation and evolve with your needs.

Price and inclusions

Understanding what makes up your project.

Ikaria is available starting at $149,000, instead of $169,000. The final price depends on the chosen configuration, options, transport, installation and the work required on your lot.

Options and customization

Turnkey

Four weeks. A complete home.

Building an ADU small home follows a four-week cycle. Each week corresponds to a distinct stage, handled by a dedicated team. This breakdown is what makes the schedule predictable, and what lets us give you a delivery date as soon as you sign.

01Week 01

Workshop construction

The home is assembled in our workshop, sheltered from the weather. No weather-related delays, and controlled workmanship from the first assembly to the last.

02Week 02

Excavation and foundation

Excavation of the lot, installation of the insulated formwork and rough grading. The crawl space offers 54 inches of clearance, enough to run all the services.

03Week 03

Installation and finishing

The home is set on its foundation and connected. Interior finishing is completed right after.

04Week 04

Final landscaping

Landscaping of the lot, final connections and last details. The home is ready to move into.

The turnkey service is offered within an approximate 100-kilometre radius of Val-David. Delivery of kit homes may be offered elsewhere in Quebec, depending on the model, site accessibility and project conditions.

Municipal framework

What about Bill 31?

Quebec's housing framework has evolved, but the possibility of adding an ADU still varies depending on the type of project, the municipality, zoning and the characteristics of the lot. Before you start, the rules that apply to your property must be confirmed.

Understand ADUs and the regulations
Frequently asked questions

Before you start your project.

What is an ADU?

An accessory dwelling unit is an additional dwelling located on the same property as a main residence. It can be integrated, attached or detached, depending on municipal rules and the characteristics of the lot.

Can Ikaria be used as a detached ADU?

Yes. Ikaria can be installed as a detached ADU, also called a backyard home, when municipal zoning, siting, connections and the characteristics of the lot allow it. A preliminary analysis is required before the project can be confirmed.

How do I know if my municipality allows ADUs?

Rules vary from one municipality to another. Canopée Développement can carry out an initial analysis of your lot and point you to the necessary checks.

What does the starting price of $149,000 include?

The base price and detailed inclusions are being finalized. The final cost varies depending on the configuration, options, transport, installation and the work required on the lot.

Can Ikaria be customized?

Some options, finishes and adaptations can be assessed based on your needs, the final plan and the project's constraints.

Does Canopée Développement handle permits?

As part of a turnkey project, Canopée Développement can guide you through and coordinate the main steps required. The exact scope of the mandate is confirmed for each project.

What area do you serve?

The turnkey service is offered within an approximate 100-kilometre radius of Val-David. A kit home may be offered elsewhere in Quebec depending on the model and project conditions.

Can I rent out my ADU?

Renting depends on municipal rules, the type of use permitted and the conditions that apply to your property. No rental income can be guaranteed.

With installation, we take care of the excavation, foundation, connections and landscaping. Without installation, the home is delivered to you and you coordinate the rest.

03Your contact information

The municipality lets us know in advance whether the lot requires an independent septic system or a municipal connection. That is what changes the estimate the most.
