Custom Home Builder & Renovation Contractor in Vancouver

Custom Home Building

Building a custom home in Vancouver requires navigating the city's complex zoning regulations, heritage considerations, and lot-specific challenges. Whether you're building on a standard 33-foot lot in Dunbar or developing a larger property in Shaughnessy, StudioBuild provides end-to-end project coordination including site analysis, in-house design, City of Vancouver permit strategy, pre-construction planning, and full construction management.

Interior Renovations

Vancouver's housing stock ranges from 1920s Craftsman homes to modern glass-and-steel construction. Our renovation experience spans full home renovations, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, basement developments with legal suite conversions, and heritage home updates that maintain period character while upgrading systems.

Custom Decks & Outdoor Living

Vancouver's mild climate makes outdoor living spaces a valuable addition. We design and build cedar and composite decking, covered outdoor kitchens, multi-level deck systems, privacy screens, and hot tub and fire pit integration.

Permits & Approvals

Navigating Vancouver's permit process requires experience with Development Permit applications, Building Permit submissions, heritage alteration permits, laneway house regulations, secondary suite requirements, and BC Energy Step Code compliance. StudioBuild handles all permit coordination.

Typical Project Scope

Popular scope includes full-home renovations, laneway-adjacent outdoor upgrades, and custom-home pre-construction planning.

StudioBuild supports homeowners throughout Vancouver with design-led renovations, custom decks, and custom homes delivered through a disciplined process. We work across Vancouver's diverse residential areas, understanding the unique building conditions and architectural character of each neighbourhood.
