Custom home construction involves many complex variables. Making informed decisions on developing a suitable design, selecting the right materials and keeping on budget can be challenging for most clients. Sechelt Home Builders can help you with every stage of the building process, including hiring the right subcontractors and trades. We can manage your custom home project from start to finish.
New Home Construction
Sechelt Home Builders is experienced in working on custom home projects of various types and sizes. Homes have become more complex over the years and building code requirements more stringent. This has affected the timeframe it takes to obtain building permits in the Sechelt area.
Many of our customers have found that it is helpful to understand the building process before construction begins. Sechelt Home Builders gives you realistic expectations and can help you make informed decisions about what is involved in construction in the following areas:
- Site specific design and material selection
- Budget preparation
- Building permits and approvals
- Site preparation and improvement
- Installation of foundations
- Completing the basic structure of the home
- Finishing the interior of the home
The cost to complete your home to occupancy will be dependent on the size, location and complexity of the project. The time taken, availability and quality of trades-people used will affect the labor component. The reality is that it is more important to consider the value of work being done than simply choosing trades based on a low hourly rate.
Choosing the right people can save on a lot of labor cost and fixing problems later on. Generally the use of higher quality material gives you a better finished result, less waste and lower maintenance as well as substantial cost savings during construction. Sechelt Home Builders uses best construction practices in all of their projects.
Home Additions
A well-designed addition to your home takes thorough planning. Your addition should not only consider lifestyle needs, but also increase the value of your property by more than the construction cost. Structural changes resulting from your addition may give you a chance to improve other outdated components.
Sechelt Home Builders uses up-to-date, energy-efficient construction practices. Home additions often require changes or upgrades to air handling equipment to improve moisture control and air quality in the house. The objective is to increase the comfort as well as the function and size of the home.
Many additions will require a building permit, particularly when the external footprint of the home is increased. Sechelt Home Builders has access to professional designers who can take your ideas and prepare blueprints that will meet structural and permitting requirements.
Sechelt Home Builders can help you make sure that your addition is structurally sound, meets your living requirements and looks like an integral part of the existing home.

Our Expertise
Most homeowners require external expertise to take their project from concept to completion. Technical advice and support are often required prior to and during construction. This is especially true if the nature of the property presents construction challenges.
No matter if you are building a new home, renovating an existing one or adding an extension, Sechelt Home Builders has access to the building resources required for custom projects.
You get a much better finished result and more value in your home when you use the right materials and hire the right expertise. The cost to fix problems caused by the use of the wrong materials or poor installation can be substantial. Better quality materials and skilled people will pay for themselves during the construction process because building goes faster with fewer problems and less waste.
Critical areas where homeowners need external expertise usually include:
- Obtaining permits and approvals
- Design and material selection
- Structural load bearing and other engineering requirements
- Assembling the right human resources
- Constructing the home to meet building code standards
- Controlling and managing the project

Working with Sechelt Home Builders you can be confident that your project will come in on time and on budget.
Design and Construction Options
The design you choose will determine what kind of construction method needs to be used to build the home. More complex structures, such as post and beam or timber-frame homes, use different structural techniques to support the roof and floors. They may also require different foundation load bearing points.
These structures have the advantage of being able to incorporate open plan living, vaulted ceilings and large expanses of glass to maximize the use of natural light. Although they are a little more costly to build than conventional homes, they generally have a much higher appraised value. Sechelt Home Builders can help you determine the right kind of design for your budget.
Your choices of design, materials and construction method also play a major role in the look and feel of the finished home. Building different types of homes takes special skill sets. Sechelt Home Builders is capable of building a wide variety of custom homes and uses premium quality building materials to give you a better-finished result.
