I'm sure u can get one built for even cheaper than 85k, but just like with anything else, you get what you pay for. A lot of contractors will opt to use cheaper quality materials and possibly less experienced people to lower the cost. If I was getting one of these built, I would want to spend the money to get one built that's good quality and looks half decent. Posted via RS Mobile
for sure, but a $25,000 "Green" roof is just insane for somthing like this.

i think i just saw the second laneway house in vancouver currently being build. was driving around 54th and argyle, saw what i believe is to be a laneway house cause it looked nothing like a fuckin garage!! its on the corner if anyone wants to go check it out.
the price lanefab quoted has a lot to do with their architecture and the quality materials they used, theres also a lot of overkill materials used in that home
Was talking to a friend of mine and she saw the news story about laneway houses on the news, and now she's looking into building a laneway house on her property just for her 3 dogs more money than sense

Exactly. Obviously you can build some sort of basic shelter for 85k, the house in the video? Not a chance you will get nice exterior wood, LED lights, etc for that price.

i live like 5 mins away and from what i see when i walk by its pretty well built but its just way too cramped. Thought it looked more like a fancy garage because its so damn close to the alley. the existing house is old and it just looks weird with the laneway being taller than the existing. For 200k you can build a new vancouver special haha
They had one of these houses on display at the Yaletown olympic live venue. It was really, really nice. I'd rather live in one of those than an apartment.
Didn't mean to bump up a really old thread, but this was one of the threads that popped up in regards to laneway housing.
Has anyone recently propped up a laneway home on their Vancouver property?
Did a quick google search, LaneFab.com and smallworks.ca came up as the top search.
Any feedback in regards to these two companies?

my builder was telling me $180k if I wanted to build one(about 500sq ft) along with our new home
Also I'd need to pay my architect, structural engineer, and energy consultant some more money on top of what I'm paying them already, I entertained the idea to make it a man cave but my wife nixed that idea
There is already one in our block, but its not much a house, looks like a party spot above the garage for the kids to chill out, it does have a kitchenette and bathroom though.
We have a large lot, I was looking into this a while back. We are able to fit a two car garage and a nicely sized laneway house in our back yard.

Im looking to start a company offering 3k 100sq micro houses marketed as a shed. Limited to 8x12 x15foot height (being on a slop). see my 3D house at the end of the clip.
Looking for investors! what one could offer in terms of help\backyard\storage space\cnc machine
Currently rebuilding a house with a laneway house on the property. Builder said it would cost roughly 100k more to build one. 2 floors, roughly 480 sq ft if i recall.
To be honest, if you look up specialty companies that specializes in laneways, you should be prepared to pay top dollars for it. Shop around for builders that you trust or have a referral to. And ask for a quote.

100k is NOTHING for a laneway. Honestly that is one cheapass laneway.

What is that statement based on? $100,000 for 500 sqft puts the total for the build at $200 sqft, and that's a totally reasonable number that's appropriately a bit below the average for a custom home in Vancouver.
