NewlinesADU
Coach houses, carriage homes & ADUs
Create rental income, family space, or a downsized home — with a clear path from lot assessment to build.
Squamish-based • Modular, panelized, and custom paths • Practical early guidance
More space. Real income. Same address.
Trying to help your kids get started, bring parents closer, or add stable rental income — without moving?
Start with clarity, not guesswork.
We’ll confirm what’s realistic for your lot, flag the common constraints early, and outline the simplest path forward.
At NewlinesADU, your goals drive the plan — budget, timeline, and how much disruption you can tolerate. Let’s figure out what your property can do.
Fixed-price contracts
Fixed price is possible — when the scope is clear.
Most budget blowups come from unknowns: servicing, access, slope, and design choices that add up. We define scope early so you can decide with confidence.
- Clear inclusions + exclusions
- Site + servicing realities
- Options that fit your budget

Multiple ways to build an ADU — one accountable team.
