Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about process, budgeting, timelines, and how we build across Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.
What’s included in a free ballpark estimate and discovery call?
Our free ballpark estimate starts with a short consultation / discovery call to understand your project type (custom home, laneway home, backyard studio, or full-scale renovation) and your municipality (Vancouver, Burnaby, or the Fraser Valley, BC). We then provide a practical budgeting range, key cost drivers, and a realistic timeline—plus what to expect for zoning and building permits. It’s the fastest way to get clarity before spending heavily on drawings.
Are you a Vancouver home builder—and where do you build in BC?
Yes. CoreVal Homes is a Vancouver home builder serving Vancouver, Burnaby, and the Fraser Valley (BC). We also build in nearby areas depending on project fit and permitting—often including location variants clients search for like Surrey, Langley, and Delta. If you’re unsure whether we cover your area, the quickest step is a discovery call so we can confirm feasibility and next steps.
What is does 2-5-10 stand for?
The warranty coverage provided includes:
Two (2) Years – Materials and Labour Coverage for defects in workmanship and materials.
Five (5) Years – Building Envelope Coverage against unintended water penetration.
Ten (10) Years – Structural Coverage for major structural defects. Warranty protection is subject to the terms, conditions, exclusions, and limitations set out in the official Pacific Home Warranty certificate and policy documentation issued for each home.
What’s the cost per square foot for a custom home in Vancouver / BC?
Cost per square foot depends on design complexity, site conditions, structural requirements, and finish level—plus municipality factors like building permits and fees. As a Vancouver custom home builder, we don’t rely on generic averages; we help you understand the drivers that affect your project so your budgeting is grounded in reality. If you share your city (Vancouver/Burnaby/Fraser Valley) and target finish level, we’ll provide a ballpark range that’s actually usable for planning.
Do you help with zoning and building permits (including Burnaby permit fees)?
Yes. We guide clients through zoning constraints and the building permits pathway across Vancouver, Burnaby, and the Fraser Valley. In municipalities like Burnaby, permit-related costs and “fees” can influence both budget and timeline, so we plan around them early. If you’re dealing with permit complexity, start with a feasibility call and we’ll outline the likely steps, risks, and sequencing.
How long does a custom home or laneway home typically take (timeline)?
Timelines vary, but most projects follow a predictable arc: discovery → feasibility → design coordination → permits → construction → handover. For Vancouver custom homes and Vancouver laneway homes, approvals and city review can be a major variable—so we manage the process with clear milestones and decision points. Our goal is a transparent timeline: what happens next, what decisions are needed, and what can impact schedule.
What’s the difference between laneway homes and backyard studios in Vancouver?
A laneway home is typically a secondary dwelling with more defined requirements around zoning, servicing, and building permits, while a backyard studio is often a smaller-footprint space used as an office, guest suite, or flexible living area (rules vary by municipality). We help you compare options based on property constraints, intended use, timeline, and long-term value—then recommend the best path for your property in Vancouver, Burnaby, or the Fraser Valley, BC.
Where can I see your portfolio / case studies, and what should I look for?
You can explore our portfolio to see real work across custom homes, laneway homes, backyard studios, and renovations—then use the case study details to evaluate build quality and process discipline (scope clarity, decision points, timeline control, and how change orders are handled). We focus on repeatable standards and communication—not just “good finishes.” If a project style matches what you want, the next best step is a discovery call for a ballpark estimate and feasibility review.
