About Sophie's Flats Inc.
Sophie’s Flats is a one-stop shop for as-of-right accessory dwelling units (ADUs), helping homeowners and small landlords add high-quality rental housing with clarity and confidence.
We specialize in the design and construction of custom ADUs that are permitted as-of-right under local zoning, eliminating unnecessary risk, delays, and guesswork. Our focus is on practical, buildable solutions that work for real lots, real budgets, and real housing needs.
From early feasibility and design through permitting and construction, we manage the entire process in-house. Every ADU is custom-designed to suit the property, rather than forced into a pre-fabricated or one-size-fits-all model. This allows us to optimize layout, size, and functionality while respecting zoning constraints and neighbourhood context.
All of our builds are Tarion-enrolled and constructed by an HCRA-registered builder, providing full new-home warranty protection and peace of mind—an important distinction in a market where many ADU builders operate without registration or warranty coverage.
Our projects are primarily built to support:
-
Long-term rental income
-
Multi-generational living
-
Gentle density and housing supply
We work closely with homeowners and landlords who value transparency, regulatory certainty, and high construction standards. Our goal is simple: make it easier to turn underutilized backyard space into durable, income-generating housing, without unnecessary complexity.
Based in Ontario, with a focus on Guelph and surrounding communities.
