What We Build
Income suites, in-law units, and detached cottages, permitted and built properly.
Ontario’s housing policy has shifted significantly in favour of secondary units on residential lots. What used to require variances and committee hearings is now largely as-of-right zoning in most municipalities. If you have a garage, a large basement, or room on your lot, there’s a real opportunity here. We’ve built over 60 of these units across Northumberland County. We know the process, the permit requirements, and how to build a unit that actually generates income and holds its value.
Accessory Dwelling Unit
Northumberland County, ON

The Process
From feasibility to finished unit
01
Feasibility Review
We review your lot, existing structure, and municipal zoning to tell you exactly what’s buildable and what it’ll cost.
02
Design & Permits
We design the unit around rental marketability, handle all permit applications, and navigate secondary suite bylaws.
03
Build
One crew, one manager, fixed timeline. Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing all in-house: no subcontractor delays.
04
Inspection & Handover
Municipal inspection handled. Unit delivered tenant-ready. You start generating income from day one.

Why Cobourg Construction
We’ve built over 60 ADUs. We know what renters want and what municipalities require.
There’s a real difference between a secondary unit that passes inspection and one that commands top-of-market rent. The layout matters. The finishes matter. The soundproofing matters. We build units that are easy to rent and hold their value long-term.
And because we handle permits in-house, you’re protected. An illegal unit is a liability. A properly permitted ADU is a long-term asset that adds to your property value and qualifies for rental income programs.
