We recently had our home renovated by Bobby and his team at By Design Construction and we couldn't be happier with the results. The cabinets are gorgeous, and the tiling and flooring were expertly done.
Expert Guidance
Zoning, Permits, and What You Can Build
Zoning, permits, site conditions, and municipal requirements can shape a Vancouver project long before construction begins. By Design Construction helps you understand these requirements early, so you can make better decisions about what to build and how to move forward.
Property and Zoning Review
We look at the property, local requirements, and your goals to help you understand what may be possible.
Permitting and Pre-Construction
We help coordinate the planning and permitting process, working through the requirements that need to be addressed before construction begins.
Site and Project Feasibility
Every property comes with its own considerations. We help identify the issues that could affect design, budget, servicing, or construction before they become surprises.
Explore Your Options
Custom home, addition, laneway home, duplex, or major renovation: we help you compare the possibilities and determine which direction makes the most sense.

The company was a pleasure to work with.Work was completed in a timely fashion and we couldn't be more happier with the outcome. It increased not only the value of our home but made it more usable and added curb appeal. Bobby is very knowledgeable and there are no hidden surprises. He consulted with us on cost and ideas throughout the entire process, that worked within our budget.
Bobby managed the project with great insight and care, overseeing all aspects of the project making it stress free for us. We were appreciative of the care Bobby took, and how he paid attention to the details and areas that we had no expertise in , always providing guidance by citing other projects, allowing us to better understand the details of the project.
We would definitely recommend this company for any project, and have leaned on Bobby on advice and support on a number of projects.

We had a very positive experience with Bobby. We decided to postpone our build for personal reasons but he was very helpful and professional when we were working with him in the design phase.
BY DESIGN CONSTRUCTION
About Us
By Design Construction is a Greater Vancouver builder focused on custom homes, laneway homes, duplexes, major renovations, additions, and select multifamily projects.
Founder Bobby Purba grew up around construction and later studied finance, economics, and software engineering before moving into the industry full-time. That background still shapes the way we approach projects today: look at the numbers, understand the property, plan carefully, and make decisions that hold up over the long term.
We work with homeowners from early planning through construction, helping them understand their options, navigate zoning and permitting, and make informed decisions before committing major funds.
Our approach is practical and collaborative. We look at the property, the budget, the long-term plan, and how the home needs to work for the people living in it before we bring the right project together.
