Ship · site · assemble · live — in weeks, not months
Whether you call it a backyard dweller, granny pod, or garden home, Mini Me is sized for infill lots where every square foot must work harder — without sacrificing the feel of a much larger living space.
Site
Deliver to a prepared foundation on a backyard, cottage, or infill lot across the Greater Toronto Area and beyond.
Assemble
Tipical turn key assembly +- 15 days
Live
Move in with cabinets, appliances, and bedroom furniture in place — ready for family, tenants, or guests.
Energy performance
Continuous outside insulation, high-performance glazing, and an airtight shell engineered for cold-climate efficiency from day one.
Rental potential
Model the unit as a long-term rental or short-stay — the compact footprint suits backyard ADU bylaws and seasonal cottage demand.
Coordinated delivery
One bill of materials, one factory schedule, one onsite assembly window — no chasing trades for months on a tight lot.
Factory quality
Panels, envelope layers, and finishes are cut and checked in factory conditions before they reach your site.

Illustrative catalogue scenarios, not guaranteed energy savings, rental income or completion dates. Actual outcomes depend on the project.
Explore a rental scenario
Adjust the catalogue’s starting assumptions to explore a simple mortgage and rental-income scenario.
Illustrative planning only. Financing, taxes, rental demand, expenses and eligibility require confirmation; this is not a mortgage offer.
Explore construction-time savings
Compare equivalent completion scopes. Earlier rental income assumes the home is complete, approved for occupancy and rented; a weather-tight shell alone does not qualify.
