When planning your custom home or laneway build, the right builder makes all the difference. Here’s what to look for:
1. Quality First
Visit completed projects. Pay attention to finishes and materials. Great builders are proud to show their work.
2. Transparent Communication
You deserve clear timelines, honest budgets, and updates along the way. If they dodge your questions now—they’ll do it during the build too.
3. Know the Permit Process
In Vancouver, the Development & Building Permit process is complex. Work with a builder who knows the system inside and out to avoid delays.
4. Realistic Budgeting
Beyond construction, plan for permits, design fees, landscaping, and small upgrades. A good builder helps you prepare, not get surprised.
5. Get It in Writing
Contracts should include timelines, payment structure, warranty, and what’s included—no grey areas.
