A whole home renovation in Richmond is the most comprehensive way to transform your existing property — updating every room, every surface, and every system to match how your family lives today. Speera Custom Homes manages complete home renovations with the same turnkey approach we bring to new construction: one team, one contract, one point of contact from design to final walkthrough.

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

Whole Home Renovation 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

Whole Home Renovation in Richmond: Common Questions

Two things shape almost every Richmond project. First, Richmond sits on the Fraser River delta with a high water table, so the large majority of homes here are built slab-on-grade with no basement — which means relocating plumbing runs through a concrete slab rather than open joist space below the floor. Second, Richmond lies within a floodplain protected by dikes, and the City sets a minimum Flood Construction Level for habitable space. Both need to be understood before a layout is finalized, not after.

It depends on the scope. Interior and cosmetic work generally does not, but substantial structural work, additions, or creating new habitable space can bring the City of Richmond's Flood Construction Level into play, which governs how high a finished habitable floor must sit. We confirm this with the City early in design, because discovering it late can force a floor elevation change that reshapes the whole plan.

Look for a contractor who manages design, permits, and every trade under one contract rather than brokering between separate subcontractors. Ask specifically about Richmond experience: whether they have worked on slab-on-grade plumbing relocations, how they handle Flood Construction Level questions, and how familiar they are with the City of Richmond's permit and inspection process. These are the details that separate a smooth Richmond project from a stalled one.

For most whole-home renovations we recommend relocating during active construction. In Richmond this is often more pressing than elsewhere, because slab-on-grade homes require saw-cutting and trenching concrete to move drains, which is loud and generates significant dust. We sequence that work early and communicate milestones so you know when returning is practical.
