We recently had our home renovated by Bobby and his team at By Design Construction and we couldn't be happier with the results. The cabinets are gorgeous, and the tiling and flooring were expertly done.

A clear path from initial consultation to completed construction—built around your vision.
Every property has untapped potential. We'll assess your land, understand your goals, and show you exactly what can be built—and what it's worth.

BDC Homes brings your plan to life with expert craftsmanship. From permits to final walkthrough, we handle every detail so you don't have to.
Your vision. Our expertise. Built right.
By Design Construction builds custom homes, duplexes, laneway houses, multiplex infill (3, 4, 6 units), and whole-home renovations across Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster, North Vancouver, and Coquitlam. As a local design build builder, we manage permits, zoning, and project delivery to maximize value and timeline certainty for high-budget projects.
Have something specific in mind?
If you have an aging home that is in need of improvement, or you want to build a laneway home, garage suite, or accessory dwelling unit on your existing site, we will develop the best money making strategy.
With your address, we will research the zoning regulations for your parcel of land. Our free, no hassle consultation will go over your options including city planning requirements, subdivision details, and zoning laws. This will help give you a clear understanding of what long term planning you can do.
Your personal goals might be to create or increase income from a rental unit, reduce long term utility costs, improve your personal quality of life, keep family close or remain in a community where you are comfortable, all while increasing the value of your property.
No matter what your goals, By Design Construction will work with you to create the right roadmap from where you are now to where you dream of being.
If you have owned your home for a long period of time, there is a good chance you have equity. Sometimes simply unlocking the potential of that equity makes sense from an investment perspective.
You love your home, and don't want to move. Do not let property development opportunities pass you by. BDC Homes undertakes many projects that use financing from a variety of sources.
Instead of letting your home equity sit idle, or savings accounts devalue from inflation, you can put that money to work for you and participate in many profitable real estate development projects.
With the recent changes to zoning regulations, there has never been a better time to participate in lucrative real estate development. Contact us right away, even if you don't think you have enough to get started.
Navigating Vancouver's complex permit requirements and zoning bylaws can be overwhelming. We handle the paperwork, approvals, and municipal processes—so you can focus on your vision while we unlock your property's full potential.
Understand what you can build on your lot—setbacks, height limits, FSR, and density allowances explained clearly.
From development permits to building permits, we prepare and submit complete applications that get approved faster.
Need to change your property's zoning or request a variance? We guide you through the entire municipal process.
We identify opportunities to add laneway homes, duplexes, or additional units based on current zoning regulations.

The company was a pleasure to work with.Work was completed in a timely fashion and we couldn't be more happier with the outcome. It increased not only the value of our home but made it more usable and added curb appeal. Bobby is very knowledgeable and there are no hidden surprises. He consulted with us on cost and ideas throughout the entire process, that worked within our budget.
Bobby managed the project with great insight and care, overseeing all aspects of the project making it stress free for us. We were appreciative of the care Bobby took, and how he paid attention to the details and areas that we had no expertise in , always providing guidance by citing other projects, allowing us to better understand the details of the project.
We would definitely recommend this company for any project, and have leaned on Bobby on advice and support on a number of projects.
