Thinking of building a Duplex- what should I know?
the parents and i are thinking of building a duplex but i have no idea where to start. read some threads here from past but i think i need even more basic info...
some questions i have:
1- how to determine a lot size?
2- is there a min lot size for duplex?
3- once i find a lot (assume there is a SFH), can i knock it down and build a duplex or does it need to go through a re-zone process?
4- in terms of cost what are some realistic prices for Oct 2020 days...
what we are looking for
2200sqft - 2500 on each side
4 bedrooms upstairs with 2/2.5 bath
1 bedroom suite or laneway (are suites / laneway allowed for duplex in cities where laneways are authorized)
Honda/Toyota type appliances - no need for Infinity or Ferrari.
2 car garage for each side
5- from Land is there a place to find plots of (i looked on realtor.ca) or is my only option to buy a tear down
6- anything else i need to know for basic info?
