At King Homes, our expertise lies in streamlining the legal process surrounding the addition of a legal second suite or multi-family conversion to your home or investment property(s). Our clients are confident in our process and our capabilities, because at King Homes, we are investors too.
We come and complete a thorough analysis of the property in order to determine if adding a legal second suite or additional dwelling units is a viable option. We check zoning bylaws and OBC requirements to make sure that your home or building will be able to meet all of the requirements before we proceed further.
Once we have determined that you will be able to meet the requirements, we come and take complete and accurate measurements of the house or building in preparation for a full architectural permit set. This includes all interior and exterior dimensions of the house or building, including the property itself. With this information, we can put together detailed drawings for the second suite or additional dwelling unit that meets all zoning and building requirements. The architectural plans would include site plans, existing and proposed floor plans, elevations, cross sections, assembly details, mechanical designs and engineering if required.
We take the hassle out of dealing with the municipality. We fill out the application forms, make payments and submit the drawings to the various city departments on your behalf. We work with the city planning and building staff behind the scenes to satisfy their requirements and achieve an issued building permit. You don't pay us until we have an issued building permit for you!
Once we obtain the issued building permit, we will pass over all the documentation to you in a nice and neat package in order for you to begin your project. While we are waiting for approved permits, we can help facilitate the construction work with our own team of skilled trades people. We provide detailed estimates for every aspect of the construction work. We work with the city building inspectors to make sure that every component of the work is completed to high quality standard that exceeds min. building code requirements.
Discover a whole new source of income and increase the value of your home(s) by adding a Legal Second Suite or multi-family conversion.

I have hired Ken for all my duplex conversions, permits and drawings. He is truly a wealth of knowledge when it comes to construction, building codes, municipal requirements to create multi family residence and real estate investing. Ken is very efficient at coordinating and completing the scope of work on time. I am very satisfied with the level of workmanship and respect that Ken and his team had for my properties during the renovations. I would suggest you strongly consider Ken as an addition to your real estate investing team as a one stop shop for your drawings, permits and renovation!

“Ken Bekendam and his team are an indispensable asset to any investor considering the BRRR process in Hamilton, Brantford and the Niagara Peninsula. His unsurpassed knowledge of not only existing bylaws and various codes (building, fire, safety, etc.), but also upcoming new and changing legislation concerning “added value” investment vehicles is vital to the success of our projects. The various cities we are involved with consider Ken’s drawings comprehensive and detailed enough for them to easily assess and approve the project in question. His ability to lobby for variances and permits is an additional asset that makes the entire process smoother and hassle-free. I can’t imagine taking on a BRRR project without Ken’s input.”
