Essentially we would like to build a guest home and in the home we love in has a very large amount of space surrounding it. Would it be possible to install a small prefab and what would be the procedures to move forward with the install?
Thanks!

Putting a prefab kit house in your backyard is sometimes possible but it really depends on your municipal regulations. Some cities have programs such as the Ottawa Coach House pilot project or the Vancouver Laneway house movement, where cities are encouraging urban densification. I would check with your local building authorities to know for sure. We have Prefab tiny House Kit houses for sale here that are available across the US. This is of course dependent on availability, and everything slowed down due to Covid but this is the perfect time to start planning at least!
