Renovations & legal basements in Kitchener
Kitchener has strong rental demand from families and students, which makes a legal basement unit a smart investment. We design, permit and build second units, kitchens and washrooms across Kitchener.
Waterloo Region
Your Kitchener contractor, from drawings to final inspection
Empire Design & Construction Limited serves Kitchener from our Brampton office, about 80 km west of Brampton along Highway 401. The same team handles your design, permits and construction, so nothing gets lost between trades.
Ontario allows up to three residential units on most lots, but zoning, parking and permit rules are set locally by City of Kitchener. We confirm what applies to your address before you commit, and our in-house BCIN designer prepares the drawings.
