Renovation Contractors in Barrie

Homeowners and investors in Barrie exploring a legal secondary suite need a clear picture of both the City of Barrie's zoning bylaw and the Ontario Building Code. Compire Construction & Renovation helps coordinate the renovation work and the package of drawings, permit applications and inspections required for a legal basement project.

A barrie legal basement project typically involves: a separate side entrance, a basement layout with a self-contained kitchen and bathroom, egress windows sized for the sleeping rooms, fire separation between the unit and the primary dwelling, dedicated mechanical systems and code-compliant electrical. Each property is different — older homes near the lake bring unique foundation and drainage questions; newer subdivisions tend to have cleaner starting points.
