The hardest part of a prefab multiplex is often finding the right builder. There are more of them in BC every year, they use different methods, and their prices and timelines vary. This page explains how to choose well, and how we take the legwork out of it by matching you with builders that fit your plan.
The kinds of builders you will find
- Modular factories. They build finished home modules indoors and set them on your lot. Best for speed and standard layouts.
- Panelized and design-build firms. They make wall, floor, and roof panels and assemble them on site, with more design freedom.
- Hybrid builders. They mix factory-made parts with on-site work to suit the lot and budget.
Which kind is right depends on your lot and goals. Our guide to the prefab options explains the methods in plain words.
What to look for in a builder
- Finished multiplex projects you can see, ideally in Greater Vancouver.
- A clear written quote that says what is included and what is not.
- A realistic timeline, and a straight answer on who handles permits and site work.
- Past clients who will speak with you about their experience.
- Proper licensing and warranty coverage for new homes in BC.
Questions worth asking
- Which prefab method do you use, and why does it suit my lot?
- How many homes can I build on my lot, and have you confirmed that?
- What is your all-in price range for a project like mine?
- What could delay the project, and how do you manage that risk?
