Frequently asked
How long does it take to build a custom home in Vancouver?
A typical custom home in Greater Vancouver runs 9–14 months from permit-in-hand to occupancy, plus 3–8 months of pre-construction (design, geotech, permitting) depending on the municipality. Larger or heritage-adjacent properties extend that range.
Do you work with our architect, or provide one?
Either. Many clients arrive with their own architect and we partner directly. For clients without one, we have long-standing relationships with several Greater Vancouver architects whose style matches the kind of homes we build.
Do you handle permits, geotech, and structural engineering?
Yes. Permit drawings, geotechnical investigation, structural engineering, mechanical engineering, BC Energy Step Code modelling — all coordinated in-house. The homeowner sees one written budget and one schedule covering every layer.
What is the typical cost per square foot for a custom build in BC?
Cost-per-sqft is misleading on its own because finish level and lot complexity dwarf size on the budget. A typical custom Naybur home falls into the premium-build range, but the only honest number is the one we put on a written quote after a site assessment and design concept.
What's covered under your new-home warranty?
New home warranty in BC has three tiers — workmanship (2 years), building envelope (5 years), structural (10 years) — and Naybur projects are registered accordingly. On top of that, our 5/5 service guarantee covers details a code warranty does not.
