What should I look for when choosing a custom home builder in Vancouver?

Look for a builder with a strong local track record, proper licensing and insurance, transparent communication, and experience navigating your municipality's permitting process. Ask for references, visit completed projects, and make sure you feel comfortable with how they communicate.

Do you handle permits and municipal approvals in Greater Vancouver?

Yes. Speera Custom Homes manages the entire permitting process for all municipalities we serve, including Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, and other Greater Vancouver municipalities. This includes building permits, development permits, engineering requirements, and all municipal approvals.

Can I build a duplex or multiplex on my lot in Vancouver?

Many lots across Greater Vancouver now allow for duplex or multiplex construction thanks to evolving zoning bylaws. Whether your lot qualifies depends on its zoning, size, and location. Speera Custom Homes assesses your property's potential during a free consultation.

What is the difference between a custom home and a spec home?

A spec home is built by a developer based on their design choices, then sold on the open market. A custom home is designed and built specifically for you — every layout decision, material selection, and finish reflects your lifestyle and preferences.

What neighbourhoods in Greater Vancouver do you build in?
