Frequently Asked Questions
What is the typical timeline for a contemporary home build in Vancouver?
Most contemporary home projects take between 12–18 months from design kickoff to final handover. This includes permitting (2–4 months), construction (8–12 months), and commissioning (1–2 months), though timelines can vary based on complexity and site conditions.
How much does it cost per square foot for a custom contemporary home?
Costs generally range from $350–$600 CAD per sq ft, depending on design intricacy, material selections, and site accessibility. High-end finishes or passive-house specifications can increase the budget to $700+ per sq ft.

Yes. Avangard Development manages all permit applications, including Development Permits, Building Permits, and Heritage Alteration Permits when applicable. Our team works closely with the City of Vancouver to ensure compliance with local bylaws and zoning regulations.
Can you integrate sustainable and energy-efficient features?
Absolutely. We specialize in Passive House–ready construction, triple-glazed windows, heat-pump HVAC systems, and solar-ready roofing. These features not only reduce your carbon footprint but also lower long-term operating costs.
