Building and renovating in Richmond and North Gower

Richmond's growing village neighbourhoods and North Gower's rural properties offer room to build. Additions, garages and custom homes are common here, along with renovations of older village homes. Rural lots can involve well and septic considerations, which we plan for early.

Richmond and North Gower are rural villages in south-west Ottawa with older village homes, newer subdivisions and many farm and estate properties. Outside the serviced village areas, most homes rely on a private well and septic system, so any addition, new bathroom or secondary suite has to be planned around septic capacity and setbacks; septic approvals in Ottawa go through the Ottawa Septic System Office. Larger lots allow for additions, garages and custom homes that are harder to build in the city, and lots near the Jock River may fall under conservation authority regulations that affect where and how you can build.
