How It Works

The 8-Step Process

Step 1: Feasibility Check

Timeline: Day 1

We assess your property to determine if it can accommodate a garden suite. This includes checking lot size, access, setback requirements, and local zoning regulations.

• Free property assessment
• Zoning verification
• Preliminary layout options
• Budget consultation

Step 2: Site Survey

Timeline: Week 1

Professional surveyors measure your property and document existing conditions. This data is crucial for accurate design and permitting.

• Topographical survey
• Utility location mapping
• Access route planning
• Site photos and documentation

Step 3: Design & Permitting

Timeline: Weeks 2-4

We prepare all necessary drawings and documentation, then submit to your local municipality for approval. We handle all communication with building departments.

• Architectural drawings
• Engineering calculations
• Permit application submission
• Revision management

Step 4: Engineering

Timeline: Week 3

Licensed professional engineers review and stamp all structural, electrical, and mechanical plans to ensure code compliance and safety.

• Structural engineering review
• Professional engineer stamps
• Load calculations
• Building code compliance verification

Step 5: Foundation Preparation

Timeline: Week 5-6

Once permits are approved, we prepare the site and pour the foundation. This creates a level, stable platform for your garden suite.

• Site excavation
• Foundation forms
• Concrete pouring
• Utility stub-outs

Step 6: Module Delivery

Timeline: Week 7

Your pre-fabricated garden suite modules arrive on site via crane truck. Modules are precision-built in our controlled factory environment.

• Factory quality inspection
• Transportation coordination
• Crane placement
• Module positioning

Step 7: Assembly & Connections

Timeline: Week 7-8

Our expert team connects modules, completes utility hookups, and finishes all interior and exterior details.

• Module joining and sealing
• Electrical connections
• Plumbing connections
• HVAC installation
• Interior finishing
• Exterior siding completion

Step 8: Final Inspections & Handover

Timeline: Week 8

Building inspectors verify all work meets code requirements. Once approved, we hand over the keys to your new garden suite.

• Municipal building inspections
• Quality control walkthrough
• Occupancy permit issuance
• Owner orientation and handover
• Warranty documentation

Traditional vs. Axya Process

Traditional Construction

• Timeline: 6-12 months
• Weather delays: Frequent
• Cost certainty: Variable
• Quality control: On-site dependent
• Permitting: Owner manages

Axya Process

• Timeline: 6-8 weeks
• Weather delays: Minimal
• Cost certainty: Fixed price
• Quality control: Factory precision
• Permitting: Fully managed

Why Choose Pre-Engineered?

Faster Timeline

Factory construction happens simultaneously with site prep, cutting total time by 60-70% compared to traditional builds.

Precision Manufacturing

Controlled factory environment ensures consistent quality, perfect measurements, and superior materials protection.

Cost Predictability

One fixed price includes everything. No surprise costs, change orders, or budget overruns during construction.
