Why build with a Burnaby-based builder
Our head office is at 3745 Warren Street, Burnaby. We build here, we know the City of Burnaby permit process, and we have current and completed homes in the city, including our Warren Street Residence and Smith Avenue Residence. Being close to your site means faster decisions, regular site visits and fewer delays.

Thinking about more than one home on your lot?
Many Burnaby lots can now hold more than a single house. If you are weighing a custom home against a duplex, multiplex or a home with a laneway house, we can show you the options side by side. See our duplex & multiplex builder in Burnaby and laneway home builder in Burnaby pages.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to build a custom home in Burnaby?
Construction of a single-family home typically takes about 8 months once permits are issued. Design and permitting add time before that. Read more in how long it takes to build a custom home.
Do I need to demolish my existing house first?
Usually, yes. Demolition needs its own permit and an asbestos survey for older homes. See demolition before you rebuild.
What about trees on my lot?
Burnaby protects many trees and may require an arborist report. See our guide to tree bylaws and arborist reports.
Can you work with my own architect?
Yes. We regularly build from plans by outside architects and designers, and we can join early to help keep the design on budget.
Is the site walk really free?
Yes. We visit your lot, talk through what you want to build and how we would approach it, with no obligation.
