The attention to detail is incredible. The Andare team has just finished building my home and I'm absolutely blown away. I've been living in here for just under a month now and I still haven't found a single flaw, you can really see their experience and craftsmanship in every part of the home.

Local Context
Accessory Dwelling Units in Pickering
What an ADU includes
The scope can include a separate entrance, kitchenette or full kitchen, bathroom, living/sleeping area, laundry, storage, fire and sound separation, HVAC planning, plumbing, electrical, egress, permit drawings, inspections, and finish work.
An ADU succeeds when the tenant or family member can live independently without making the main home awkward. Entry, noise, services, and maintenance access all matter.
Designed for family or rental use
Inside the same design-build team, layout and finish choices are made around long-term durability, daily privacy, storage, light, cleaning, suite identity, and how the owner will manage the space.
In the GTA homes, ADU feasibility can depend on side-yard width, garage structure, ceiling height, existing services, parking, and municipal rules.
Permits and consultant coordination
ADUs need a careful approval path. Andare coordinates required drawings, engineering when needed, permit documents, inspections, and the construction sequence for services, separation, and finishes.
Process
- ADU feasibility and property review
- Suite layout, entry, and privacy planning
- Approval pathway and technical documentation
- Structure, services, separation, and rough-in
- Kitchen, bath, storage, finishes, and fixtures
- Final walkthrough and handover

Accessory Dwelling Units in Pickering: what shapes the work
Pickering includes older lakeshore communities, post-war homes, family subdivisions, townhouses, newer Seaton growth areas, rural northern properties, and homes near Rouge Park and conservation lands. Common work includes kitchens, basements, bathrooms, additions, legal-suite review, custom homes, garages, and outdoor living.
Pickering projects require local and Durham Region review. Toronto rules do not apply. Zoning, grading, conservation, tree impacts, servicing, parking, fire separation, and building permits can affect suites, additions, custom homes, and major renovations.
Pickering work can shift from compact lakeshore lots to rural-edge properties and new subdivision homes. Access, drainage, conservation, household growth, and transit-oriented family needs all influence the plan.
Andare's design team can help Pickering clients connect layout, lower-level use, selections, storage, exterior access, and consultant review before the job moves into construction.
Andare supports homeowners in Bay Ridges, West Shore, Liverpool, Amberlea, Dunbarton, Rosebank, Seaton, Claremont, and surrounding Pickering neighbourhoods. Andare keeps accessory dwelling units tied to the home in front of us, not a generic city-wide template.
