3802 West 22nd Ave - Custom Home & Laneway Unit
In 2022, Rely Construction demolished the existing 1926 character home at 3802 West 22nd Ave, Vancouver, and built a striking new custom two-storey residence alongside a detached laneway house, all executed per the approved IFC drawings. Throughout construction, we installed independent MEP systems, sound-rated assemblies, and separate entrances to ensure complete privacy and self-containment for each unit.
8080 Alanmore Pl - Custom Home
In 2023, Rely Construction fully demolished the existing home at 8080 Alanmore Place, clearing the way for a striking new two-storey residence complete with an attached rental suite and garage, expertly designed by LQ Design (Qi Li). Working from the IFC drawings, our team executed full-site excavation and foundation work, followed by structural framing tailored to integrate the rental suite seamlessly beneath the second-floor living space.

3019 West 6th Ave, Vancouver – Multiplex Residential Development
Demolition at 3019 West 6th Ave was completed in December 2025, with construction commencing in January 2026. The project is currently in the foundation phase, with formwork underway for the base concrete. Upon completion, this development will transform the former lot into a thoughtfully designed multiplex featuring multiple self-contained units, modern layouts, independent MEP systems, and sound-rated assemblies, all built to meet City of Vancouver zoning and building standards.
2050 SW Marine Drive, Vancouver, BC
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. Rely Construction was entrusted to deliver a site-wide transformation that respected the estate’s original Tudor Revival character while modernizing its infrastructure and outdoor environment. 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.
2040 SW Marine Dr - Home Renovation
In 2021, Rely Construction collaborated with IDO Design Inc., executing a sophisticated renovation at 2040 SW Marine Dr that blends modern luxury with heritage charm. Guided by the IFC drawings, our scope included a full interior gut of select zones, structural adjustments, and the installation of a custom wine room crafted from real oak – featuring integrated shelving, climate control, and designer lighting to double as a functional showcase.
