Let's Figure Out If Your Dream Is Possible
Most projects fail because they start with a drawing instead of a plan. We offer two ways to start, depending on your readiness.
Path 1: The Assessment
Not sure if you have the right zoning, budget, or group alignment? Select your situation below to take our 3-minute feasibility quiz.
Path 2: Strategy Call
You're serious. You have land (or a target), a group, and you're ready to get professional eyes on your project.
- 30-Minute Video Consultation
- Review of your specific site/zoning
- Clear "Next Steps" Roadmap

The 3 Pillars of Feasibility
Before you build, you need three "Green Lights". If any one of these is red, the project stalls. We help you check all three.
1. The Land
Zoning, Conservation Authorities, Septic Capacity, and Access. Can you legally build what you want where you want?
2. The Money
Construction costs, servicing costs (wells/hydro), and financing. Does the group have the liquid cash and borrowing power?
3. The People
Governance, Decision Making, and Legal Structure. Do you have a "prenup" for your property?
Are you one of these?
See how we tackle your specific challenges.
The Family Compound
Multi-generational families wanting to live on one property while maintaining privacy.
Most zoning bylaws explicitly ban 'two main dwellings' on one lot to prevent density.
We use 'Cluster' designs, breezeway connections, or severance strategies to legally create multiple private units.
Aging in Community
The 'Golden Girls' model. Friends retiring together to avoid institutional care.
Banks struggle to finance retirees who are 'asset rich but income poor'.
We implement Net Worth lending programs and Universal Design principles from day one.
Co-Ownership with Friends
Pooling resources to buy a property that no single person could afford alone.
Friendships often implode over undefined exit strategies.
We draft robust Co-Ownership Agreements (TIC) that define exit valuation formulas before you buy.
