Custom homes

New homes built for how you live, from a licensed residential builder with professional schedule discipline. Our Georgie Award–winning Springwood Residence was completed in just six months, from excavation to occupancy.

What’s included
• Tear-downs and haul-offs: demolition and material removal to clear the lot
• Permits, consultant coordination and site staging, so construction begins without surprises
• Floor plan and layout planning, including basement layouts
• The build itself, from excavation and foundations through framing, building envelope and finishing, with fully customized interior design
• Custom features such as an attached garage, a recessed backyard hot tub or a large custom skylight
• Site management: end-to-end construction management

Who it’s for: Homeowners building a new single-family home in Greater Vancouver, whether they’re replacing an older house on their lot or starting on a clear site. Typical projects are new custom single-family homes, knock-down-and-rebuilds, and laneway and coach houses.

How Contour handles it: A new home means hundreds of decisions before the first shovel goes in, so we settle the floor plan, budget and schedule with you up front. As a licensed residential builder, we manage the permits, consultants and every trade from excavation to occupancy, and keep you updated weekly. New homes include 2-5-10 home warranty coverage.

Project example: South Surrey: a new custom home with a redesigned floor plan, basement layout planning and fully customized interior design.

Duplexes, multifamily & mixed use

Purpose-built duplexes, small multifamily projects and mixed-use buildings for owners and small developers who need clear communication and on-time delivery. Every home in the building gets the same principal-led approach and care as a single custom home.

What’s included
• Planning the layout for more than one home on a lot
• Permits, consultant coordination and site staging, so construction begins without surprises
• Foundations, framing and building envelope for the whole building
• Unit interiors: kitchens, bathrooms, millwork and finishes
• Shared elements such as entries, parking and site work
• Construction managed from permits through final completion

Who it’s for: Property owners and small developers. Typical projects are side-by-side or up-and-down duplexes, small multi-unit residential buildings, and mixed-use buildings that include residential units.

How Contour handles it: More homes under one roof means more consultants, more inspections and more trades on site at once. We run the whole building on one coordinated schedule, sequencing foundations, envelope and unit interiors so one stage never holds up the next, and report on budget and schedule weekly so you can plan around real dates.

Project example: Cambie Street: change of use and interior and exterior alterations to a four-storey mixed-use building with dental and insurance offices, residential units and underground parking.

Renovations & envelope

Residential renovations — kitchens, bathrooms, custom millwork, and deck and building envelope repairs. Some renovations refresh how a home looks; others fix how it performs. At Pine Crescent in Vancouver, the work aimed to enhance both performance and aesthetics.

What’s included
• Selective demolition, haul-offs and site management
• Kitchens: modern, upgraded kitchens with custom cabinetry
• Bathrooms: full renovations with contemporary finishes and walk-in showers
• Interiors: custom millwork, refined finishes, new flooring and detailed lighting
• Deck and building envelope repairs
• Exterior and landscape redesign

Who it’s for: Homeowners who want to update the home they have, or need to repair its deck and building envelope. Typical projects are kitchen and bathroom renovations, whole-home interior updates, and exterior, deck and envelope work.

How Contour handles it: Renovating means working with what’s already there, including what’s hidden behind the walls. We scope the work carefully before demolition, flag anything we uncover with options and costs before going further, and keep the work area clean and contained, especially when you’re living in the home.

Project example: Pine Crescent: a residential renovation with deck and building envelope repairs, a complete exterior and landscape redesign, and interior repairs and updates.

Tenant improvements

Commercial and TI projects sized for Contour: churches, sports facilities, retail, and similar scopes where detail and disruption management matter. Our commercial work covers tenant improvements, retail, office and custom commercial spaces.

What’s included
• Opening up layouts by removing enclosed office spaces
• Combining units into one larger space
• Structural work, such as replacing and adding major structural steel beams
• Change of use and occupancy reclassification
• Interior and exterior alterations, including door swing reconfiguration

Who it’s for: Businesses, building owners and organizations fitting out or changing a commercial space. Typical projects are places of worship, sports facilities, retail and office spaces, and mixed-use buildings.

How Contour handles it: Commercial spaces often need to stay open, or open on a fixed date. We plan the work around your operations and lease deadlines, handle change-of-use permits and occupancy approvals, and phase the work to keep disruption to staff, tenants and customers to a minimum.

Project example: Thrive Church: an interior renovation of a place of worship that removed enclosed offices to create an open layout, with door swing reconfiguration and occupancy reclassification.
