A guest house is a secondary dwelling on a single-family residential lot. Generally, a guest house is completely independent from the main house, although this is not always the case. Over the past decade, building guest houses or granny apartments on property has become a more common trend in the country. With housing and rental rates steadily increasing, many have found it convenient to create a space on their property for their elderly parents, out-of-school children, visiting friends, or as rental housing.

Revamped cottage or shed
The average cost of building a shed can range from $800 to $4000, and the price will depend greatly on the materials you choose as well as whether you hire a professional to complete this renovation project.
In addition, this cost does not take into account electricity and labor costs. If you are calculating a budget, be sure to take these elements into account.
Here is a presentation of the prices of the sheds:
Wooden shed: $500 to $4000, $10 to $40 per square foot
Metal shed: $500-2000, $8-30 per sq. ft.
Resin shed: $600-6000, $12-45 per sq. ft.
Please note that the prices listed above do not include materials for floors, doors and hardware, the cost of additional materials including nails, screws and trim, or electricity or labor. Again, the price will also depend on the size of the shed, so consider this when calculating the budget!
