Garage Suite Packages: Find the Right Solution for Your Property
Every homeowner’s property is different, which means every garage suite project starts from a different place.
Some homeowners already have a garage that can potentially be converted into living space. Others are planning to build a brand-new garage suite from the ground up. Some are looking for a practical investment property, while others want a fully customized home with premium finishes.
That’s why we don’t believe in one fixed package or one fixed price.
Instead, we’ve grouped our projects into three common categories to help you understand what type of project best fits your property and your budget.

Package 1 – Garage Conversion
Starting from $150,000
Already have an existing garage?
If the structure is suitable, converting it into a legal living space can be one of the most affordable ways to add value to your property.
Projects in this category are typically designed as one-bedroom, one-bathroom suites created within the existing building.
However, every conversion is unique.
The condition of the existing foundation, framing, roof, utilities, and overall structure will determine how much work is required before the building can meet today’s residential building standards.
Some projects require only moderate upgrades, while others may involve significant structural improvements.
For that reason, $150,000 should be viewed as a typical starting budget—not a fixed project price.
Package 2 – New Two-Storey Garage Suite
Starting from $250,000–$300,000 - Our Most Popular Package
This is the option chosen by most Calgary homeowners.
It involves building a brand-new detached garage with a fully finished residential suite above, creating additional living space while significantly increasing the value and functionality of your property.
Most projects in this category include:
Two to three bedrooms
One or two bathrooms
Full kitchen
Open-concept living area
Laundry
Private entrance
Modern detached garage
The final investment depends on several important factors, including:
Total square footage
Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
Utility connections
Site conditions
Architectural design
Interior finishes
Window configuration
Garage size
For homeowners looking for the best balance between budget, functionality, and long-term return on investment, this is the package we recommend most often.
Package 3 – Fully Custom Garage Suite
Starting from $350,000+
If you’re looking for something truly unique, our Fully Custom Garage Suite package gives you complete freedom to design your project exactly the way you want it.
Instead of working from a standard concept, we create a custom solution around your property and lifestyle.
Whether you’re planning a larger footprint, multiple bathrooms, premium materials, custom architectural details, a home office, oversized windows, or luxury interior finishes, every element is tailored specifically to your vision.
Because every custom project is different, the final investment depends on:
Building size
Architectural complexity
Engineering requirements
Utility work
Site conditions
Material selections
Interior finishes
Custom features
Projects in this category typically begin around $350,000 and increase based on the scope of work and level of customization.
