5 Qualities of a Great Custom Home Builder in Vancouver

Not all builders are created equal. If you're looking to build a luxury custom home in Vancouver, look for these key traits when vetting your builder.


1. Deep Local Experience

A great builder knows:

  • Local bylaws and codes
  • Municipal permitting processes
  • Zoning challenges in neighborhoods like Kitsilano or Dunbar

2. Transparent Communication

They should:

  • Provide regular updates
  • Offer one point of contact
  • Use tools like Buildertrend or CoConstruct
