FAQ

Duplex Builder in West Vancouver: Common Questions

In most West Vancouver residential zones, duplexes are now permitted as of right under BC's Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing (SSMUH) legislation. We assess your specific lot, confirm what's permitted, and advise on the configuration that maximizes your return.

A duplex is the full two-unit building. A half-duplex is one of the two units of a side-by-side duplex — often strata-titled with its own separate entrance, yard, and utilities. Many West Vancouver clients build half-duplexes on a shared lot with a neighbour or as coordinated infill.

Duplex timelines depend on design complexity, lot conditions, and the City of West Vancouver's permit processing times. We provide a specific project schedule during our free consultation.

For most West Vancouver properties, duplexes offer strong returns — through rental income, strata sale proceeds, or both. The economics depend on your lot, build quality, and local market conditions. We walk through the financial logic during our free consultation.
