A backyard suite (also called an accessory dwelling unit or ADU) is a self-contained living space built on your Airdrie property, separate from your main home. It includes a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living area—everything needed for independent living. These can be standalone buildings or built above a new detached garage.

 

Backyard suites in Airdrie typically cost $200-$350 per square foot depending on the design, finishes, and whether it’s standalone or above a garage. For example, a typical 600 sq ft suite ranges from $120,000-$200,000+. Garage suites with living space above tend to be the most cost-effective option.
Yes, both a development permit and building permit are required. Furthermore, Airdrie and Calgary have streamlined the process for secondary suites in recent years. We handle all permit applications and ensure your suite meets all building codes and zoning requirements.

 

Typical construction time is 4-6 months depending on size and complexity. This includes foundation work, framing, roofing, exterior finishes, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, insulation, drywall, and all interior finishing. However, the permit process typically adds 6-10 weeks before construction begins.

 

Yes! Backyard suites are an excellent source of rental income. Airdrie-area suites typically rent for $1,200-$2,200/month depending on size, finishes, and location. As a result, many homeowners use rental income to offset mortgage costs.

 

A backyard suite is a separate, detached building on your property (or above a detached garage), while a basement suite is developed within your existing home’s basement. Backyard suites offer more privacy and typically command higher rents. Check out our Basement Suite page for more on that option.

 

Yes, a well-built backyard suite can significantly increase your property value—often by $80,000-$150,000 or more. Additionally, the rental income provides ongoing financial benefits that make it one of the smartest investments for Airdrie homeowners.
