Rezoning your Richmond property can unlock significant development value — allowing you to build more units, increase density, or change how your land is used. Speera Custom Homes guides you through the rezoning process in Richmond, from initial feasibility through municipal approval.

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

Rezoning 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

Rezoning Services in Richmond: Common Questions

Rezoning is needed when you want to build something not permitted under your current zoning — such as a larger multiplex, a mixed-use building, or a density increase beyond what BC's SSMUH rules allow as of right. We assess whether your project requires rezoning during a free consultation.

Rezoning timelines are set by the City of Richmond and vary based on application complexity and current municipal workloads. We outline a realistic timeline for your specific application during our initial consultation.

Yes. BC's SSMUH legislation now allows 4+ units on most Richmond residential lots without rezoning. This means projects that previously required rezoning may now proceed as of right. We confirm whether your project qualifies during a free consultation.

Yes — this is one of our key advantages. We guide your Richmond property through rezoning and then transition directly into the design and construction phase, eliminating the need to coordinate between separate teams.
