The Results for the Second Poll Question are in!


The second poll question was: How much do you think it will cost to build a laneway house?
The most votes went to the $80000-100000 range, with a total of 4 votes, and the next highest was the $150000-275000 range, with a total of 3 votes. When I was discussing the cost involved in building a laneway house with a local builder, he mentioned that the average cost for a laneway house would be around $200000, with a range of lenience both higher and lower than $200000 depending on size and materials used. This is a good piece of information to carry on with for the rest of my research.

    Hi Teralynn!
    Why would it be so much to build such a small house? Any chance you know the breakdown of those costs?

    Thanks for the input Desiree. As far as the cost for the laneway house goes, a portion of the cost involved happens to come from the rezoning and application stages.The average construction cost depends on the materials involved so the cost does range and could be a bit lower than the price discussed with the builder.
