Lot subdivision in Richmond allows you to divide a single property into two or more separately titled parcels — each of which can be sold or developed independently. In Greater Vancouver's land-constrained market, subdivision is one of the most effective ways to unlock land value.

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

Lot Subdivision 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 →
