For Architects

Get Hired for the Multiplex Projects You Want to Design

The best multiplex work in BC is being built right now under the new zoning. Homeowners, builders, and small developers need architects who understand small-scale multi-unit design — and most of them don't know how to find you.

The honest picture

Great work shouldn't depend on word-of-mouth

Your portfolio is strong. The problem is that the homeowners now considering a fourplex on their family lot don't know your portfolio exists.

Architecture-specific directories underperform

AIBC and architect-finder sites generate near-zero project leads. They're credentialing tools, not lead engines.

Buyer-side discoverability is broken

Homeowners searching 'multiplex architect Vancouver' find a Maps panel of generic firms and one Reddit thread. They give up and call whoever their builder suggests.

Builder referrals are constraining

Relying on builder referrals means you take the project the builder wants designed, not the project that fits your practice. We send you the buyer first.

What you get

What you get as a MultiLiving Architect partner

Editorial-grade presentation and the buyer audience to match.

01

A real portfolio page

Project photography, plans, design intent, awards, and contact. We treat your work the way you do — not as thumbnails in a grid.

02

Linked from every project you designed

Wherever a buyer sees a multiplex you designed, your name links to your profile. Recognition compounds across the marketplace.

03

Direct homeowner inquiries

Owners considering a multiplex on their lot reach you directly — before they've chosen a builder, before they've committed to a template plan.

04

Editorial features

We profile architects whose work is genuinely interesting. Long-form pieces with full photography — distributed to our buyer audience and indexed for search.

05

Speaking & event opportunities

Buyer education panels, virtual tours, neighbourhood deep-dives. You're the voice in the room when buyers are forming their taste.

06

Search authority for your firm name

Backlinks from a high-authority real-estate domain to your firm and project pages. SEO benefit for your own website, not just our listing.

Who this is for

This is a fit if…

  • You've designed at least one completed multi-unit residential project — duplex through small-scale multi-family.
  • You can supply photography, plans, and project details for 3–5 representative projects.
  • You're open to taking on multiplex work — homeowner-driven, builder-driven, or small-developer-driven.

Questions

Frequently asked

Do I need to be an AIBC-registered architect?
Registered architects and architectural designers permitted to do small-scale residential under the BC Architects Act are both eligible. Tell us about your scope in the application.
What does it cost?
We discuss pricing on the intro call. There's a partnership fee, with optional premium editorial and featured placement add-ons. Straightforward, no surprises.
Will buyers contact me directly or through a gatekeeper?
Directly. Your profile has a contact form that goes straight to you. We don't intermediate or rebrand inquiries.
What about competition between architect partners?
We list multiple firms. Buyers self-select on aesthetic and approach. We don't push leads to a 'favourite' — we present partners fairly and let the work do the talking.
Can I update my portfolio over time?
Yes. Send us new project assets whenever you complete work and we'll add them. Profiles stay current.
