A Metcalfe village-core lot can carry different setback rules than a larger rural property nearby, so we check your property's specific zoning designation before designing.
Metcalfe is a rural village in Ottawa's Osgoode ward, with a small village core surrounded by larger agricultural and rural residential properties.
Some Metcalfe lots are in the village and others are agricultural or rural, so we confirm services and drainage before planning the footings.
This Metcalfe addition was planned around natural light. The new room is framed with the roof rafters in place, and a set of glass doors and a tall window unit are already installed and taped in the front wall. The photo shows the framing stage, before sheathing, insulation and interior finishing.
Reviews given to us directly by clients.
We hired them to add an extra bedroom and bathroom to our Ottawa home. The workmanship was excellent, and the team kept us informed throughout the entire project. We are very pleased with the finished space.
Our new second-storey addition looks like it has always been part of the house. The builders paid close attention to every detail and kept the worksite clean and organized. I would gladly recommend them.
Metcalfe’s small village core, in the Osgoode ward, sits surrounded by larger agricultural and rural residential properties, and the two can carry different setback rules under different specific zoning designations.

Setback and coverage rules can differ between the two within Metcalfe.
