WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Real reviews from our Google Business Profile
“We recently completed a project with BRIO Construction, and it was a pleasure working with Amir. He was very clear with his requirements and communicated his vision effectively, which made the collaboration smooth and efficient.”
TeamUP Cabinets Ltd.
Kitchen Cabinetry Project
“Amir & BRIO Team took our 2000 sqft office and completely transformed it into a sleek, high-end workspace. The place feels brand new — modern, stylish, and super professional. The lighting, layout, and finishes make such a difference.”
88West Realty
Commercial Office Renovation
“BRIO Team built a stunning duplex for our investment group in 2021, and they absolutely delivered — on time and on budget, even with all the challenges of COVID. With supply chain delays and labor shortages everywhere, Amir & BRIO Team kept everything on track.”
Soroush S.

FREE LOT EVALUATION
Laneway rules differ by municipality and are changing fast under B.C.'s new housing legislation. Rather than rely on a generic chart, your free lot evaluation gives you the exact, current numbers for your specific property.
We confirm whether your lot qualifies for a laneway house under current zoning — and the setbacks, height, and rules that apply to it today.
The exact square footage you can build on your specific lot under today's municipal rules — not a one-size-fits-all number.
A realistic, itemized cost range for your project, so you can plan the investment with confidence before committing.
What a completed laneway house could realistically earn per month in your neighbourhood.
Building across all 8 Greater Vancouver municipalities
Laneway rules vary by municipality and change frequently — BRIO tracks every update and confirms exactly what's permitted on your specific property.
Most contractors leave you guessing. Every BRIO project runs on Keystone, our own project-management app — your private portal into the build, from first day to handover.
