General Contractor in Delta, BC
As a general contractor in Delta, BC, we work across a municipality where the rules change depending on which part of town your lot sits in. Large portions of Ladner and Tsawwassen fall within the Agricultural Land Reserve, which caps most residential development to a principal dwelling plus one secondary residence and requires Agricultural Land Commission approval for anything beyond that. If your property is inside the ALR, your project runs through a separate provincial review layer on top of Delta's municipal permitting - and we identify that boundary before the first drawing so you're not caught mid-permit.
Outside the ALR, Delta's residential landscape shifted under BC's Bill 44 small-scale multi-unit housing legislation. Secondary suites, garden suites, coach houses, duplexes, and houseplexes are now permitted across most residential zones on lots over 280 square metres, with a minimum of 4 dwelling units - making multi-family builds and laneway homes viable options for many Delta property owners. Delta's three main areas each carry a distinct character that shapes what makes sense to build: Tsawwassen's premium coastal large lots near the ferry terminal, Ladner's historic village centre with its walkable heritage architecture, and North Delta's Sunshine Hills - the most affordable entry point and currently the largest share of the municipality's development pipeline. Some areas near the Fraser River, particularly around Ladner, also carry drainage and flood-plain conditions that require geotechnical assessment before a foundation can be designed.

Why Work With Us
Why Delta Homeowners Work With Us
ALR boundary navigation
If your Ladner or Tsawwassen lot sits inside the Agricultural Land Reserve, you're capped at a principal dwelling plus one secondary residence, and anything beyond that needs Agricultural Land Commission approval. We confirm your ALR status at the start and tell you whether your project is a municipal permit or a provincial review - before you spend on design work that the ALR won't allow.
Bill 44 multi-unit expertise
Outside the ALR, Delta's residential zones on lots over 280 square metres now allow a minimum of 4 dwelling units under Bill 44 - suites, garden suites, coach houses, duplexes, and houseplexes. We confirm the exact unit count your lot supports, then design a configuration that fits your setbacks, parking, and rental or family goals.
Flood-plain and drainage experience
Low-lying areas near the Fraser River around Ladner can require geotechnical assessment for drainage and flood-plain conditions before Delta issues a permit. We bring in the geotechnical engineer early on those lots so your foundation plan accounts for water table and soil conditions before excavation, not after.
One standard, every project
Manvir Singh Mohar founded New Legend Builders and runs the company day-to-day. That means the same hands and the same standard carry your Delta project from ALR confirmation or Bill 44 zoning review through to final walk-through - whether it's a Tsawwassen custom home, a Ladner heritage renovation, or a Sunshine Hills houseplex.
