What Custom Home Building Includes

Building a custom home with VIBE means full collaboration from the start. We work with architects and designers throughout pre-construction so when we break ground everyone knows exactly what we're building and why. Whether you're on a lot in Langley or building contemporary in Burnaby we handle everything from permits to final walkthrough.

Who Is This For

Custom home builds are right for you if you own a lot (or are buying one) and want to build from the ground up. Our clients typically fall into a few categories: families who want a home designed around how they actually live, homeowners replacing an older property with something modern, or buyers who've found the perfect location but not the perfect house. If you have a vision that goes beyond what's on the market, we can help you build it.

What's Included

Every custom home project includes: site assessment and feasibility review, full design collaboration with architects and interior designers, permit applications and city approvals, complete construction from foundation to finishing, coordination with engineers surveyors and utilities, BuilderTrend access for real-time budget and schedule tracking, final walkthrough and 2-5-10 warranty coverage. We handle the entire process so you're not managing multiple contractors.

Why Choose VIBE for Your Custom Home

We don't just build—we collaborate. Here's what sets us apart.

Learn About Us

Design Collaboration

We're involved from the very first sketch. Our team works alongside architects and designers so the home we build matches your vision—not a generic floor plan.

Full Transparency

BuilderTrend gives you real-time access to your budget schedule and project updates. No surprises no guesswork.

Experienced Trades

We work with trades who care about quality. From foundation to finishing every detail is handled by professionals we trust.

What to Expect

Custom home costs typically range from $400 to $1000+ per square foot depending on finishes, materials, and design complexity. We start with an investment range based on your goals then refine the budget as design progresses. Timeline depends heavily on location—Vancouver permitting can take 6-9 months due to higher step code requirements while Langley, Burnaby, or Surrey often allow construction to start within 2 months. Once construction begins, expect 10-14 months to completion depending on size and scope.

Building Across the Lower Mainland

Each municipality has different building codes, permit timelines, and requirements.

See All Locations

Surrey

Surrey is BC's fastest-growing city and set a record in 2024 for housing permits. From luxury custom homes in South Surrey to urban development near SkyTrain stations there's significant building activity across diverse neighbourhoods.

View Location

Langley

Langley is one of the best places in the Lower Mainland to build a custom home. Available land faster permit timelines and established neighbourhoods like Brookswood and Willoughby make it ideal for ground-up construction.

View Location

Burnaby

Burnaby offers a middle ground—close to Vancouver with more reasonable permit timelines and surprisingly less competition. From post-war bungalows in Deer Lake to modern builds near Brentwood there's variety here.

Vancouver

Vancouver has the most complex building environment in the Lower Mainland. Longer permit timelines higher step code requirements and heritage considerations make experience essential. We know how to navigate it.

Our kitchen needed some renovations and Vibe Design Build did a beautiful job. They started with a revision to the layout which included a beautiful design, then suggested we put in modern appliances, custom cabinets, and a big island. Now the room is great for cooking and having people over. They paid great attention to detail and were very good at planning and execution.
