It’s November 2025 and the past six months have been relatively flat when it comes to construction costs in our experience. Trades are hungry, lumber is steady, and quotes from earlier this year are holding. It’s a good time to build. If you’re considering building a new home, laneway, or small multi-unit/multiplex in Metro Vancouver, there are several current market advantages that are worth taking seriously:
As part of the Vancouver Plan, the city has identified 25 future Villages across the city of Vancouver. These villages are small neighbourhood centres made up of local shops, services, and housing. They are located using a 400-metre (5-minute) walking/rolling radius around existing small commercial nodes.
In Vancouver, hardscape surfaces (driveways, patios, walkways, parking pads, etc.) are regulated by how much of your home's lot may be covered by impermeable materials. For most properties, the maximum impermeable materials site coverage is capped, typically at 60% or 70%, depending on zoning.
As urban density increases and housing affordability tightens in Vancouver, laneway homes have become a popular way to add functional, beautiful living space as a mortgage helper or for generational living. But while the idea of building a stylish backyard home is exciting, designing one within Vancouver’s constraints is far from simple.
