The First Step

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.

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?

Who We Help

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.

The Hurdle

Most zoning bylaws explicitly ban 'two main dwellings' on one lot to prevent density.

The Fix

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.

The Hurdle

Banks struggle to finance retirees who are 'asset rich but income poor'.

The Fix

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.

The Hurdle

Friendships often implode over undefined exit strategies.

The Fix

We draft robust Co-Ownership Agreements (TIC) that define exit valuation formulas before you buy.
