Every great home starts with the lot it sits on. We design around your land, your family and the way you live.

Overview

What this service does for you

A custom home starts with the property. Lot size, setbacks, slope, views, sun and zoning all shape what the best design looks like, so we start there before a single room is drawn.

From the first site visit to the permit set, we design homes that fit your lot, your budget and your daily life. That includes single-family homes, duplexes, multi-generational homes and homes with suites, garden suites or carriage houses where zoning allows.

Ideal for
  • Owners building a new home on a lot they already own
  • Families planning a multi-generational home or a home with a suite
  • Owners replacing an older home with a new build
  • Small builders and developers planning duplexes and infill homes

FAQ

Questions about Custom Home Design

Every property is different, so we confirm the details for yours during your consultation.

Ask Us Directly
How long does it take to design a custom home?
It depends on the size and complexity of the home and how quickly decisions are made. We give you a schedule after the first consultation, and municipal permit review time is in addition to design time.
How much does custom home design cost?
Design fees depend on the size of the home, the complexity of the site and the scope of services. We provide a clear quote after reviewing your property and goals.
Do you prepare drawings for building permits?
Yes. We prepare complete construction drawings for building permit and coordinate with the structural engineer, surveyor and energy advisor your project needs.
Can you design a home with a legal suite or garden suite?
Yes, where zoning allows. Many Lower Mainland municipalities now permit suites, garden suites or multiple units on single-family lots. We confirm what your lot allows before we start.
Will I be able to see the home before it is built?
Yes. We provide 3D renderings during design so you can see the exterior and make decisions before drawings are finalized.
Do I need a building designer or an architect for a house?
Most single-family homes, duplexes and small residential buildings in BC can be designed by a building designer. Larger or more complex buildings may require an architect, and we will tell you if your project falls into that category.
