Multi Generational Living in Vancouver

Multi-generational living is possible for your family through renovation, new construction or a combination of both.
With growing concerns of housing affordability and how it affects the future of our families, it's becoming very important to use our homes and properties as wisely as possible.
JDL Homes has the expertise to help guide you through the complexities of municipal zoning, Vancouver bylaws and building codes and how they affect your ability to create both security and space for you and your family.
This may involve renovating your existing character home into a duplex or renovating your home to include an in-law suite. You may want to explore a custom addition or new build such as infill housing, a laneway house or coach house.
Another option for new construction is to develop a duplex, duplex with walkouts (suites) or triplex on your property.

Benefits of Multi-Generational Living
More and more families are now considering multi-generation living for these benefits:
- Family Closeness: Being close to family members in terms of proximity will further strengthen bonds and relationships between family members. Children can spend more time with their grandparents and vice versa, creating meaningful bonds and bringing them closer together.
- Safety: Grandparents and young children both have one thing in common: they require care and attention. Through multi-generational living, it is possible to rest assured knowing your older and younger family members are tended to at all times.
- Financial Savings: Having multiple generations in the same household can yield major financial benefits! The biggest factor is that you only need to pay for one home. Even with multi-generational living options such as laneway homes or home addition renovations, the costs are still much lower than purchasing and maintaining a second home altogether.
Vancouver's Leading Multi-Generational Home Builder
At JDL Homes, we were industry firsts in designing and building a single family home with both a secondary suite (built on 3 levels at the rear of the home) and laneway home on one property zoned "Single Family". The secondary suite gave extended family their own space as if they were living in a duplex and the laneway home gave the primary homeowner much needed rental income but also flexibility and security for their growing family.
We're not only licensed home builders experienced in laneway, infill, coach and new home construction, but also award-winning Vancouver home renovators. We specialize in custom major renovations including adding extra levels, additions and lifting homes to improve foundation and build secondary suites. We also have experience working with the many Peat Bogs that are throughout Vancouver and the engineering challenges they present. |
