Frequently asked questions.

  • The cost to build a custom home in BC can range from $170 to $230+ per square foot, depending on your location, lot condition, design complexity, and chosen finishes. In areas like Delta, Surrey, Richmond, and Langley we typically see mid-range builds fall between $185–$205/sq ft, while high-end or unique architectural builds may go beyond that.

    ➡️ Pro Tip: We offer free consultations to give you a real estimate based on your vision and land.

  • From initial design to move-in day, most custom home builds take 8 to 12 months, depending on the project's scale and the city's permitting speed. In Delta and surrounding regions, city permits and inspections can take 1–3 months alone, so we plan accordingly and manage the full process to keep your build on track.
