BC's new Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing legislation has unlocked multiplex development on thousands of Richmond residential lots. Properties that once allowed only a single-family home can now accommodate four, six, or even eight units — without rezoning. Speera Custom Homes helps you take full advantage.

Speera Custom Homes is a Richmond-based custom home builder with completed projects across the city — including the Aragon half-duplex in Broadmoor and homes built on Herbert Road. We've submitted permits to the City of Richmond's Building Approvals department, worked directly with Richmond plan checkers, and managed construction across multiple Richmond neighbourhoods. That direct local experience means your Richmond custom home build benefits from a team that knows the process — not one learning it on your project.

Featured Project

Aragon Half-Duplex — Broadmoor, Richmond

Our completed Aragon project is a custom half-duplex in Richmond's Broadmoor neighbourhood — strata-titled, fully custom, and finished to a high standard throughout. The project navigated Richmond's duplex permit requirements, lot coverage bylaws, and the City's construction inspection process from design through final occupancy. It reflects the quality and attention to detail we bring to every Richmond custom home build.

Local Knowledge

Multiplex Construction in Richmond: What to Know

Richmond's RSM (Residential Small-Scale Multi-Unit) zone, introduced in June 2024, permits 4–6 units on most single-family and duplex lots — without rezoning. The City of Richmond raised the maximum building height under RSM to 10m in March 2025. Speera has direct, active experience navigating Richmond's RSM and RAD zoning, with completed projects in Broadmoor, Brighouse, and Terra Nova.

Richmond is Speera's home base. Our completed Aragon half-duplex in Broadmoor, and homes built along Herbert Road, are finished projects — not renderings. When you hire Speera as your Richmond custom home builder, you're working with a team that has already navigated the City of Richmond's permit process, worked through the same construction environment your project will face, and delivered finished homes across this city.

We work throughout Richmond, including: Steveston, Terra Nova, Broadmoor, Brighouse, Garden City, Hamilton, Seafair, Quilchena. View all Richmond services →

FAQ

Multiplex Builder in Richmond: Common Questions

Under BC's SSMUH legislation, most standard Richmond residential lots can now accommodate 4 units as of right. Larger lots and transit-adjacent sites may support 6 or 8 units depending on municipal rules. We assess your specific lot during a free consultation.

In most cases, no. BC's SSMUH legislation requires all municipalities to permit at least 4 units on standard residential lots without rezoning. We confirm exactly what's permitted on your specific Richmond lot.

For many Richmond landowners, a multiplex is now the highest-value use of their property. The economics depend on your lot value, construction costs, and local market conditions. We walk through the financial case during our free consultation.

Yes. We work with strata lawyers and surveyors to create separate titles for each unit in your Richmond multiplex — allowing each unit to be sold independently, which typically unlocks significantly more value than a single-titled rental building.
