The Power of Pre-Reviewed Plans: Squamish's Innovative Approach to ADU Construction

The District of Squamish is taking bold steps to address the housing crisis with an innovative solution: Pre-Reviewed accessory dwelling unit (ADU) plans. As housing demand continues to rise, these plans streamline the building process, making it faster, easier, and more affordable for homeowners to add valuable living space to their properties.

At Newlines ADU, we’re proud to be part of this forward-thinking initiative, using award-winning designs from the Squamish ADU Design Competition to deliver high-quality, eco-friendly homes.

What Are Pre-Reviewed Plans?

Pre-Reviewed ADU plans are design blueprints that have already been reviewed and approved by the District of Squamish. These plans meet local zoning regulations and building codes, saving homeowners weeks, if not months, in the permitting process. They offer a plug-and-play solution, eliminating much of the red tape and uncertainty associated with custom builds.

The Squamish ADU Design Competition

To create a library of top-tier Pre-Reviewed plans, Squamish held a design competition inviting architects to submit innovative and practical ADU concepts. The result? A collection of thoughtfully designed ADUs tailored to the unique needs of the Sea to Sky community. These plans prioritize sustainability, functionality, and aesthetic appeal, ensuring they blend seamlessly into local neighborhoods while meeting the highest standards of energy efficiency.

At Newlines ADU, we’re proud to feature these award-winning designs, which include options for diverse property sizes and homeowner needs.
