A Richmond village-core lot can face different setback and coverage rules than a larger rural property just outside it, so we check your property's specific zoning designation.
Richmond is a village in Ottawa's rural west end, within the Rideau-Jock ward, with a historic village core surrounded by larger rural properties.
Some Richmond lots are on municipal services and others are not, so we confirm which before planning footings and trenching.
For this Richmond home we built a single-storey rear extension with folding glass doors that open the kitchen to the yard. Outside the doors, a timber pergola and deck frame are going up. The photo shows the extension finished on the outside and the deck frame before the decking boards went down.
