Building and renovating in Westboro
Westboro's older homes and tight urban lots make it a hub for whole-home renovations, second-storey and rear additions, and infill builds. These projects often involve structural work, close neighbours, limited site access and careful scheduling of deliveries and trades. We plan for those constraints from the start and keep the site organized and tidy throughout.
Westboro has older, often smaller homes on narrow lots alongside newer infill, semi-detached homes and townhouses. Renovation here usually means making the most of a tight footprint: rear and second-storey additions, open main floors that require removing a load-bearing wall, and full gut renovations of older houses. Infill and addition projects must meet Ottawa's zoning rules for setbacks, height and lot coverage, and some work may need a minor variance through the Committee of Adjustment. Working beside a neighbouring house also means planning shoring, excavation and access carefully, so we sort those details out before construction starts.
