The Process Of Building A Custom Home
Pre Meeting Assessment
Before we even meet, we gather essential details about your property, including zoning laws and neighborhood bylaws, to prepare for our initial discussion.
Vision Meeting
We sit down with you to fully grasp your vision for your dream home. This meeting sets the stage for the entire project.
Design & Planning
Using the insights from our vision meeting, we develop detailed building plans, choosing materials and designs that align with your preferences and lifestyle.
Budget & Schedule Approval
With plans in place, we present you with detailed blueprints, a development plan, and a cost estimate. We finalize the timeline and budget, ensuring everything aligns with your expectations.
Construction
As construction progresses, we keep you updated frequently, involving you in decisions and ensuring that every detail reflects your vision.
The New Home
Upon completion, a thorough inspection is conducted to guarantee that everything is built to the highest standards. Then, it’s time to hand over the keys and let you enjoy your new home.

OUR EXPERTISE
Why Work With Us?
By Design Construction has spent more than 15 years building across Vancouver, Burnaby, and North Vancouver: larger renovations, custom homes, duplexes, laneway homes, and small multiplex projects. That range is the point. It means we can tell you honestly which one your property is actually suited for, rather than selling you the only thing we know how to build. Bobby Purba handles the zoning review, the feasibility numbers, and the permit applications himself, then runs the build from excavation through your final walkthrough. One person accountable, start to finish.
