2050 SW Marine Drive - Multiplex

Nestled within the prestigious Southlands neighbourhood and anchored by the heritage-designated Wilmar Residence and coach house, the 2050 SW Marine Drive project presented a rare opportunity to blend historical restoration with contemporary civil and landscape sensibilities.

The result is a seamless fusion of old and new – where subtle grading, strategic hardscaping, and elegant planting design reinforce both heritage integrity and functional outdoor living.

Residential Projects Q&A

How long does it take to build a custom home or large renovation?
Timelines vary with scope and complexity  – a typical custom home or major residential build in Metro Vancouver can take 10-16 months from start to finish, depending on site conditions, permit approvals, material availability, and weather.
Yes. Most new homes, additions, and structural renovations require municipal permits, which differ in process and timing between Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, and other cities. Rely Construction manages the entire permit process for clients so you don’t have to navigate it yourself.
Costs are influenced by design complexity, materials, site access, and finish level – for example, custom homes in the Vancouver area often range significantly depending on these factors. A qualified builder will provide a transparent estimate with realistic ranges rather than vague numbers.

Key things homeowners should verify include:

  • Proper licensing and insurance, including verification through BC Housing’s Licensed Residential Builder (LRB) registry
  • Transparent pricing and contract structure
  • Experience with local permits and municipal bylaws
  • Clear communication and project management plans
    (Rely Construction is fully licensed through BC Housing, insured, and BBB-accredited with an A+ rating, and a member of HAVAN — giving you professional oversight and accountability.)

Homeowners commonly want to know what to expect during the build. Typical construction phases include:

  • Final selections and decisions (fixtures, cabinets, flooring)
  • Scheduled building inspections at key stages
  • Site access planning and communication
  • Opportunities for client walkthroughs before completion
    (Your project manager will keep you informed about each stage so you always know what’s happening and when.)

Multiplex Homes (Duplex, Triplex, Fourplex)

How long does it take to build a multiplex home?
Multiplex timelines vary based on unit count, site conditions, and municipal approvals. In Metro Vancouver, a typical duplex or multiplex project can take 14–20 months from permitting to completion. Factors such as rezoning requirements, servicing upgrades, and inspection schedules can affect overall timing.
Yes. Multiplex projects require more extensive approvals, often including rezoning, development permits, servicing agreements, and multiple building inspections. Each municipality – such as Vancouver, Burnaby, or Richmond – has its own process and timelines. Rely Construction manages the full permitting and coordination process on behalf of our clients.

Costs are influenced by unit count, building size, parking requirements, servicing upgrades, and finish level. Because multiplex projects involve shared infrastructure and stricter code requirements, it’s important to work with a builder experienced in multi-unit construction who can provide transparent, realistic cost ranges early in the process.

Custom Homes

How long does it take to build a custom home?
A typical custom home in Metro Vancouver takes 10–16 months to construct once permits are issued. Timelines depend on design complexity, site conditions, material availability, inspections, and weather. Pre-construction and permitting can add additional time before breaking ground.
Custom home costs are shaped by architectural design, structural complexity, materials, site access, and finish selections. Rather than one-size-fits-all pricing, a qualified builder should provide a detailed estimate with clear ranges so homeowners can make informed decisions.

Homeowners should confirm that their builder is properly licensed and insured, experienced with local permitting, and transparent with pricing and contracts. Clear communication, organized project management, and accountability throughout the build are critical to a successful custom home project.

Laneway Homes

Can I build a laneway home on my property?
Laneway home eligibility depends on zoning, lot size, access, servicing, and municipal bylaws. Cities such as Vancouver and Burnaby have specific requirements that must be reviewed before proceeding. A feasibility review is the first step to determining what is possible on your lot.
Once permits are approved, a laneway home typically takes 8–12 months to build. Timelines can vary depending on site access, servicing upgrades, and design complexity. Permit approval timelines differ by municipality and should be factored into overall planning.

Yes. Laneway homes require full municipal permits, inspections, and compliance with building codes, utility requirements, and access regulations. Rely Construction manages the entire process – from feasibility and permits to construction and final occupancy, so homeowners have a clear, guided experience.
