Modular and prefab in Etobicoke
Where a factory-built home fits in Etobicoke
A modular home is built in sections in a factory, then trucked to your lot and set by crane. It goes through the same building permit as a site-built home. In Etobicoke, the right fit usually comes down to lot access, servicing and the local unit rules.
Units allowed on the lot
Toronto's By-law 474-2023 permits duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes in the R, RD, RS, RM and RT zones city-wide, so up to four units. Lots still zoned under the former Etobicoke Zoning Code may differ.

A factory-built garden suite has to meet Etobicoke's detached unit limits for size, height and setbacks. Our Etobicoke garden suite guide lists them, with links to the official sources.
Site logistics
Modules arrive by truck and are set by crane, so street width, overhead wires, trees and the path to the foundation all matter. Deep Kingsway and Islington lots suit larger custom homes. Some south Etobicoke lots are candidates for a fourplex like our Shaver Ave project.
Check with the city: modular homes need the same zoning and building permits as any new home. We confirm the rules for your lot with Etobicoke before you order.
