Common questions about ADUs, ARUs, and configuration types

ADU & ARU Frequently Asked Questions

They're the same thing! ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) is the common term used across North America and what most people search for. In Ontario, the zoning bylaws officially refer to them as ARUs (Additional Residential Units). We use "ADU" on our website because it's the universally recognized term, but we're fully compliant with Ontario's ARU regulations.

Absolutely! The City of London actively encourages ARUs to improve housing affordability and diversity. ARUs are permitted on residential properties under Ontario Regulation 711/91. You can have up to 4 total dwelling units on a residential lot, with a maximum of 2 bedrooms per unit. Kuzyn Builds handles all permitting and compliance.

There are four main ways to add an ADU to your property: (1) Interior/Basement Conversion—convert existing space ($75-150K, 2-4 months), (2) Garage Conversion—transform your detached garage ($80-160K, 2-4 months), (3) Addition—build attached to your home ($120-220K, 4-6 months), and (4) Detached Unit—our specialty with The Paul, The Maria, and The Henry ($148-350K+, 4-8 months).

It depends on several factors: lot size, budget, timeline, and your goals. Small budgets or tight lots? Interior conversion or garage conversion. Want multi-generational living with preserved space? Consider an addition. Have ample lot space and want premium design? A detached unit is ideal. Contact us for a free property assessment—we'll recommend the best fit.

Timeline depends on configuration type: Interior conversions: 2-4 months. Garage conversions: 2-4 months. Additions: 4-6 months. Detached units (The Paul, Maria, Henry): 4-8 months. These timelines include design, permitting, and construction.

The Paul, The Maria, and The Henry are premium detached standalone units—fully independent, custom-built homes with Tarion warranty protection and high-end finishes. However, we also offer interior conversions, garage conversions, and additions to existing homes if your property or budget is better suited to those options. Every property is different, and we specialize in finding the right solution.

Yes! ARU rentals are permitted in London, Ontario. You'll need a rental license (obtained through the City), but there's no requirement for additional parking spaces. Your ARU can provide steady monthly rental income. Kuzyn Builds can guide you through licensing requirements.

Yes. All ADU configurations require building permits and compliance with Ontario Building Code. For rental units, you'll also need a rental license. Kuzyn Builds handles all permitting and regulatory submissions—it's included in our comprehensive service.

Monthly rental income varies by configuration type and location: Interior conversions ($700-1,200/month), Garage conversions ($800-1,400/month), Additions ($1,000-1,600/month), Detached units ($1,200-1,800+/month). These are London market estimates and depend on unit size, finishes, and demand.

Yes! Our detached ADU models (The Paul, The Maria, The Henry) come with Tarion New Home Warranty protection. For conversions and additions, standard construction warranties apply. We stand behind all our work with comprehensive coverage and ongoing support.
