Local Knowledge

Custom Home Building in Burnaby: What to Know

Under BC's Bill 44 (SSMUH), most Burnaby single-family lots now allow 4–6 units as of right. The City of Burnaby has updated its zoning bylaw to align with the provincial minimums and continues to permit secondary suites and coach houses on most residential lots, alongside its own multiplex and duplex design guidelines.

Burnaby's diverse neighbourhoods — from Capitol Hill to Metrotown — offer strong opportunities for custom home construction, multiplex and duplex infill development, and whole-home renovation. Burnaby's central location, SkyTrain access, and strong rental demand make multi-unit construction especially attractive on qualifying lots.

We work throughout Burnaby, including: Capitol Hill, Brentwood, Metrotown, Deer Lake, Burnaby Heights, Edmonds, Highgate, Sullivan Heights. View all Burnaby services →

Custom Home Builder in Burnaby: Common Questions

We assess your specific lot during a free consultation and give you an honest picture of your options.

Permit timelines are set by the City of Burnaby's Building Department and vary with project complexity, application completeness, and current volumes. We submit thorough, code-compliant applications to minimize review rounds and keep you updated throughout the process.
