Local Knowledge

Custom Home Building in Vancouver: What to Know

Vancouver's R1-1 zoning allows up to 6 strata units or 8 secured rental units on most residential lots — one of BC's most permissive urban infill regimes. The City of Vancouver's own multiplex program runs in parallel with BC's provincial SSMUH rules, and the two interact differently lot-by-lot, which is why a site-specific zoning review matters more in Vancouver than almost anywhere else in the region.

Vancouver's competitive land values mean well-executed new construction and renovation projects command significant premiums at resale. Because Vancouver land costs are the highest in Greater Vancouver, getting the maximum permitted density and a well-managed build process right the first time has an outsized impact on your return.

We work throughout Vancouver, including: Shaughnessy, Kerrisdale, Kitsilano, Point Grey, Dunbar, Cambie, Mount Pleasant, East Vancouver, Marpole. View all Vancouver services →

We assess your exact lot during a free consultation and explain how the City's program interacts with provincial SSMUH rules.

Permit timelines are set by the City of Vancouver's Development, Buildings and Licensing department and vary with project complexity, application completeness, and current review volumes.
