What Is a Laneway Home?
A Second Home on Your Own Lot
A laneway house (or coach house) is a small, self-contained home built at the back of your existing property, typically facing the lane. It's one of the smartest ways for Vancouver homeowners to add long-term rental income, create space for aging parents or adult kids, and increase the value of their lot — all without selling or subdividing.
Vivanta Constructions designs and builds laneway homes end to end — and we price it the honest way, with a fixed, itemized quote before we start. See our per-square-foot pricing →

Common Questions
Laneway Homes in Vancouver
How much does a laneway house cost to build in Vancouver?
Laneway homes are quoted individually, driven mostly by size (typically 500–900 sq ft), finish level and site access. You get a fixed, itemized quote up front. See our pricing tiers →
Do I need a separate lot?
No — a laneway house is built on the same lot as your existing home, usually facing the back lane. On most single-family lots in Vancouver you can add one without subdividing.
Can I rent it out?
Yes. Laneway homes are popular for long-term rental income or family, and can increase your property value. We keep it fully legal and code-compliant.
Do you handle the permits?
