DAVID CAVAN FRASER and his wife Karrie purchased their first bunkie in 2015 so they could have space for their parents to stay overnight when visiting the grandchildren.
Their house wasn't large enough for everyone, and David's mom was tired of sleeping on the couch, so she encouraged them to build something on their property, and so he set about searching for a solution. He wanted to find something that was relatively easy to build at a reasonable price. He also didn't want the hassle of needing to get a building permit.
That's when David discovered bunkies - ones you can build from a kit.
They ordered a bunkie kit and David and his dad built their bunkie in one weekend. David and his family loved it so much that he began designing and selling his own kits that can be assembled quickly, easily, and inexpensively.
David and Karrie now have three more bunkies on their property that they rent out on Airbnb as getaways from the city and they're booked almost every night, year-round.
