A bungalow-to-duplex conversion transforms an existing single-family bungalow into two fully independent, self-contained residential units within the same structure. Permitted under Ontario’s evolving housing policies and Toronto’s zoning regulations, these conversions allow homeowners to maximize their property’s potential without changing its footprint. The result is a functional multi-unit home that can accommodate extended family or generate strong rental income while significantly increasing the property’s long-term value.

Most detached and semi-detached bungalows in Toronto are eligible for a duplex conversion under current zoning. Bill 23 (More Homes Built Faster Act) now permits up to 3 residential units as-of-right on most residential lots across Ontario — meaning no rezoning application is required in the majority of cases. We confirm your specific property's eligibility during your free feasibility consultation.
A full bungalow-to-duplex conversion in the Toronto GTA typically ranges from $130,000 to $195,000 all-in, depending on the existing basement ceiling height (underpinning may be required), scope of structural modifications, number of new entrances needed, and finish level. A triplex conversion ranges from $210,000 to $320,000. We provide a full itemized quote after your free site audit — no hidden costs.
A standard bungalow-to-duplex conversion takes 20–28 weeks from permit submission to occupancy permit. Permit approval with the City of Toronto typically takes 6–10 weeks (we handle all submissions), followed by 14–18 weeks of construction. Projects that include basement underpinning add 4–8 weeks to the construction phase. We provide a firm project schedule at the time of contract.
In most cases, homeowners can remain in part of the home during construction — particularly during the basement phase. Phases involving structural modifications to the main floor or shared systems (plumbing main stack, electrical panel) may require short-term vacancy of specific areas. We plan phasing with your occupancy in mind and discuss this clearly upfront so you can prepare accordingly.
