General Contractor in Vancouver, BC
As a general contractor in Vancouver, BC, we build in a city that rewrote the rules on what a single-family lot can hold. Since December 2023, RS-zoned lots can be developed as multiplexes - up to six strata-titled ownership units or up to eight secured rental units per lot. The city is also exploring incentives for retaining character homes as that density ramps up. That bylaw change opened a fundamentally different set of decisions for homeowners: tear down and build multi-unit, or keep the existing house and add density behind it. We help you read what your lot actually supports under the current rules before you commit to a direction.
Vancouver was also the first municipality in BC to broadly legalize laneway houses, which gives it the deepest laneway-building history and the highest laneway-house density in the region. The permitting path is well-trodden, but the variables that matter - lane access, lot width, setback requirements, how the existing house sits on the lot - still determine what's buildable on your specific property. Whether you're weighing a laneway house against a full multiplex redevelopment, or planning a custom new build from the ground up, we bring proven building experience to reading Vancouver's zoning bylaw against the lot in front of us.

Why Work With Us
Why Vancouver Homeowners Work With Us
Multiplex zoning expertise
Vancouver's December 2023 multiplex bylaw is still new, and most lots haven't been through the process yet. We read the RS-zoning rules against your specific property - unit count, parking, setback, and character-retention provisions - and tell you what's actually buildable before you spend on design.
Deepest laneway experience
Vancouver legalized laneway houses before any other BC municipality, and has approved more of them than anywhere in the region. We know the well-established permitting path and the lot variables - lane access, width, existing-house placement - that determine whether your property qualifies.
Rental vs. strata guidance
The multiplex bylaw lets you choose between up to six strata units or up to eight secured rental units. That's a financing, tax, and long-term-ownership decision as much as a building one. We lay out what each path means for your lot so you decide with the full picture, not just the floor plan.
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 Vancouver project from first dig to final walk-through - whether it's a laneway, a multiplex, or a full custom build.
