Navigating your municipality’s stringent building codes while creating functional multi-unit properties that comply with BC’s evolving density regulations.
We specialize in duplexes, triplexes, and townhouse projects that align with Metro Vancouver’s Small-Scale, Multi-Unit Housing initiatives. From zoning analysis to permit acquisition, our team handles complex municipal requirements, including recent bylaws allowing 3-8 units on single-family lots. Services include site feasibility studies, community-oriented designs preserving neighborhood character, and construction management for mixed-use residential/commercial spaces. We integrate energy-efficient systems and modular techniques to accelerate timelines without compromising quality, ensuring compliance with the city’s most rigorous standards.
Building dream homes in a high-regulation environment where cost overruns and delays are common.
Jawshstone delivers turnkey residences from concept to occupancy, handling everything from architectural design to final inspections. Our fixed-price model locks in costs post-design approval, eliminating surprise expenses. Specializing in luxury custom builds and spec homes, we prioritize materials that balance aesthetics with Vancouver’s coastal climate demands. Recent projects include heritage-sensitive restorations in Shaughnessy and modern laneway homes in Richmond, all completed within 6-12 month timelines.
Outdated spaces that fail to meet modern functional or aesthetic needs.
Full-scale renovations transforming kitchens, bathrooms, and great rooms into elevated living areas. For exteriors, we design durable cedar decks, weather-resistant cladding systems, and drainage solutions tailored to BC’s rainy climate. All projects include 3D renderings for visual planning and adhere to Vancouver Heritage Commission guidelines for character homes.
Underutilized properties needing secondary suites or vacation rentals.
We maximize lot potential through detached laneway homes (up to 900 sq ft) and compact cottage designs. Services include soil assessments for foundation stability, legal secondary suite certifications, and custom layouts optimizing narrow footprints. Recent approvals include 8-month builds in East Vancouver with 25% faster permit processing through our municipal partnerships.
