You own a good Vancouver lot, but the house on it is tired, too small or not worth renovating. Starting over means a demolition permit, a design, a building permit, a year or more of construction, and a dozen companies to coordinate.

We take the whole job: the demolition, the design, the City, the warranty and the build. You deal with one company and one schedule from the first meeting at your lot to the day you move in.

We wanted to keep our 1920s house, not lose it. They kept the front, the windows and the roofline, gave us a home that works for five of us, and handled every step with the City. We never had to chase anyone.

One team from the first drawing to the keys. The designers chose every finish with us before construction started, so the budget we signed was the budget we paid.

Questions

What does it cost to build a custom home in Vancouver?

Vancouver builders publish a range of about $450 to $800 per square foot before land, and one puts the top end above $1,000. We price your home line by line after the consultation, and tell you early when a decision will move the number.

How long does it take, from the first meeting to the keys?

Builders who publish their schedules report about 14 to 20 months from first meeting to keys, and longer when finding the lot is part of it. The City reports that permits for single-detached homes took 160 days on average in 2025.

What warranty comes with the home?

Every new home built by a licensed residential builder in B.C. carries 2-5-10 home warranty insurance: two years on labour and materials, five years on the building envelope and ten years on the structure. We arrange it before the building permit is issued.

Can you help me look at a lot before I buy it?

Yes. Bring us the address before you commit. We look at what the zoning allows, the trees, the slope, access for construction and what the street calls for, and give you a realistic picture of the house that can go there.

Should I restore or rebuild my character home?

Restore if the house is sound, the street matters to you, and you want the extra floor area the City allows when a character house stays. Rebuild if the structure is failing or the design cannot meet your needs. Many families land in between. A site visit settles it.
