Grand River Modular

Finding a place to live shouldn't be this hard. Between sky-high prices, small lots, and layers of city rules, adding space for family feels out of reach. We build self-contained homes on residential lots, fully permitted and installed. Families use them to house aging parents, generate rental income, or add real value to a property they already own.
Warm weather is here and our build season is filling up fast. Come see the homes for yourself. Book a free visit to walk through a current build, see exactly what you're getting, and meet the team. 🏡
👉 Free property assessments and facility tours available. Email [email protected] or send us a DM to get started.

400 square feet. At least six ways to use it.
Most backyard builds get locked into one purpose. A shed stays a shed. A garage stays a garage. Once it goes up, you are stuck with whatever it was meant to be on day one.
Our ADU builds are fully serviced, independent homes on the same footprint:

Rental income suite
Space for aging parents close by
Backyard home office or studio
First place for an adult kid
Guesthouse for visiting family
Future caregiver suite

You do not have to pick today. The use can shift through the years.
Permit timelines and municipal funding windows shift every year. Locking in a 2026 build start protects this season's pricing and approval pathway.
Free property assessments and facility tours available.

**Retirement can be right next door to family, friends, & community**

Retirement shouldn’t have to mean less options or re-locating. But downsizing can limit locations vs budget, & multi-generational living often has challenges for space and independence.

An Accessory Dwelling Unit on the family property answers both. The land is already there, so retirement budgets don't compete with the local housing market. A self-contained home, own entrance, own utilities. Close enough for daily support, separate enough for independence.

When you choose the local, licensed experts at Grand River Modular, you’re investing in a fully compliant Additional home from permitting and site works to move in ready completions.

We have just a few remaining construction slots available for this year's build schedule. Secure your spot now to ensure your project stays on track for a 2026 completion.

Sitting on an oversized Ontario backyard? You're missing out on the biggest housing tax incentive in a decade.
High building costs have made adding a rental unit or family suite feel out of reach. Wait too long to start and you miss the construction deadlines required to qualify.
The window is open, but it closes fast. Between April 1, 2026 and March 31, 2027, Ontario's expanded HST relief returns up to $80,000 per new rental unit, with the federal HST portion stacking on top.
Grand River Modular is a Brantford-based, HCRA-licensed builder. The principal is on every project, which means your build moves at the pace this window demands.

Following the legislative shifts of late 2022, Bill 23 changed the landscape for property owners by removing red tape and granting the legal right to add up to three units on most residential lots. This law protects your right to build a future for your family directly on your own property.

While this legislation addresses the housing shortage, the daily struggle for multi-generational families remains. In cities like Kitchener and Brantford, many homeowners feel stuck while trying to care for both children and aging parents. The usual options each carry their own cost:

Financial Strain: Private retirement and assisted living can run $5,000 a month or more, draining family savings within a few years.

The Mortgage Trap: A larger home means high interest rates and higher property taxes.

Privacy Conflicts: Converting existing rooms means everyone loses some autonomy.

Construction Fatigue: Traditional builds can occupy a backyard for a year or more.

A purpose-built independent suite on your existing lot avoids most of these hurdles.

At Grand River Modular (GRM), our Indigenous and local roots drive us to help families reclaim their properties. These high-quality suites provide parents with their own kitchen, bathroom, and front door, keeping them close without sacrificing independence.
