Burnaby Basement Suite — Legal Secondary Suite Conversion

This Burnaby project involved converting a previously unfinished basement into a legal, permitted 2-bedroom secondary suite. The clients purchased the home with the intention of generating rental income to offset their mortgage.

VGC managed the full permit application with the City of Burnaby, including drawings, engineer stamps for the egress window openings, and electrical and plumbing sub-permits. The suite includes a separate entrance, full kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom, and in-suite laundry. Total project cost: $95,000 fixed price. Project duration: 11 weeks.

The legal suite now generates $2,200/month in rental income — a 27% annual return on the renovation investment at current Burnaby rental rates.
