FREE LOT EVALUATION

What Can You Build on Your Lot?

B.C.'s Bill 44 let every municipality set its own multiplex rules — unit counts, height, and parking all differ, and they keep changing. Rather than rely on a generic chart, your free lot evaluation gives you the exact, current numbers for your specific property.

Zoning & unit count

How many units you can build on your lot under current zoning — triplex, fourplex, or more — and the density bonuses that may apply.

Maximum buildable area

The exact floor area and height permitted on your specific lot today, based on your municipality's current rules.

Estimated build cost

An itemized cost range for your multiplex, so the numbers are real before you commit a dollar.

Rental income or strata value

Projected monthly rental income, or the combined sale value if you strata and sell the units.

Frequently Asked Questions

Total build cost (excluding land, which you already own) depends on unit count, finishes, site conditions, and municipality-specific requirements — parking in particular. Because every lot and design is different, we don't publish fixed prices online. BRIO provides an itemized, fixed-price quote after your free lot evaluation, covering design, permits, demolition, construction, and strata registration.
Bill 44 (SSMUH) ended single-family-only zoning across BC. On a standard lot (280+ m2): 4 units. Near transit: up to 6 units. However, each municipality has different rules. Vancouver (R1-1 zoning) is the most permissive — 6 market strata or 8 rental units, no parking minimums. Burnaby limits to 3 storeys with 1.5 parking per unit. North Vancouver has the fastest permits (3-5 months). BRIO's free lot evaluation checks your specific zoning and tells you exactly what's permitted.
Total timeline is 18-30 months from initial design to occupancy. Permitting: 4-8 months depending on municipality (North Vancouver is fastest). Construction: 14-20 months for a fourplex, 18-24 for a sixplex. BRIO includes a guaranteed completion date in your contract. If we miss it, your final payment is on us.
Two paths: (1) Rent all units — a fourplex generates rental income across four separate households. (2) Sell as strata — each unit can be sold individually, and since you already own the land, much of that is upside. Many homeowners keep one unit for themselves and sell or rent the rest. Either way, a multiplex typically increases your property's value substantially within 18-24 months of completion.
Yes — BRIO has permitting expertise across all 8 Greater Vancouver municipalities: Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Coquitlam, New Westminster, and Port Moody. Each has different SSMUH rules, and we know them all. Our multi-city expertise is one of our biggest advantages — fewer revisions, faster approvals, no surprises.
Every BRIO project includes access to BRIO Keystone, our own project-management app. You get a private portal where you can see live progress against the schedule, view the latest site photos, message your project manager directly, approve selections and change orders, and access your contract, payment schedule, and warranty — all in one place. On a project this size, that real-time visibility means you always know exactly where things stand.
For most multiplex projects, yes — the existing home is demolished to make way for the new building. Typical construction takes 14-24 months. Some homeowners rent nearby, stay with family, or use proceeds from a HELOC to cover temporary housing. If staying on-site is important, consider a laneway house instead — you stay in your main home while the laneway is built behind it.
