What is an ARU?
Additional Residential Unit
An ARU is a potential additional home within or alongside a property - for example, a basement suite, garden suite or conversion. What is possible depends on the municipality, zoning, lot conditions, access, servicing and applicable approvals.

Where the study fits
The study is
A property-specific planning and decision aid. It helps you frame the questions, choices and evidence needed before committing to a path.
The study is not
A permit or financing approval, appraisal, inspection, architectural or engineering design, legal or tax advice, or a fixed construction quote.
If you choose to move forward
The study can become the starting point for separately scoped design, permit coordination, project management or construction services. Those services require their own review, scope, professional input and agreement.
For referral partners
Your role is simple: introduce the person and the property question. MV Group handles the technical review, delivery and next-step conversation.
Please read before relying on a decision
Every property is different. We do not promise municipal approval, program eligibility, financing, rent, value creation, return or a construction outcome. Current information is checked for the address and the study date, then should be confirmed with the appropriate municipality and licensed professionals.
