Secondary Dwellings
Transform Your Space
Creating Functional and Compliant Rental Units
If your basement is currently unfinished, our dedicated design team at Lion Republic Construction will address all essential factors during the design phase, including insulation, waterproofing, electrical systems, flooring, and heating. When it comes to egress (emergency escape), if your basement already has an exterior exit door, an egress window is not required.
We understand that developing a well-equipped, code-compliant secondary dwelling unit requires expertise and meticulous planning. Our experienced team will guide you through the entire renovation or retrofitting process, ensuring that your space meets all building code requirements set by the City of Ottawa. We prioritize keeping you informed and engaged at every stage of the project.

All secondary dwelling units in Ottawa must adhere to city regulations and meet strict building and fire codes. Failure to comply could make you liable for any incidents affecting tenants due to unsafe conditions. Remember, creating a secondary dwelling unit goes beyond simply adding a bedroom in the basement. Various factors need to be considered to legally establish a secondary dwelling.
At Lion Republic Construction, we take pride in delivering cost-effective, safe, and compliant secondary dwelling units on time and within budget. Contact us today for a quote, and let’s start planning your renovation for a secondary dwelling unit or rental apartment in Ottawa.
