Our Recent Projects
See What Our Clients Have to Say About Working With Mavish
We recently worked with Mark and Mavish Homes on a full-scale renovation of our condo. This was a massive project, and Mark made us feel informed and comfortable throughout. He brought in an excellent team of vendors, and brought our vision to life in ways we couldn’t have even imagined.
Of particular note, we wanted to make some changes that made our place more accessible for me as a wheelchair user, and Mark was incredibly considerate in this, and checked in with me continuously to make sure the changes would work for me.
I feel more comfortable in my home than I ever have!
Over the years I have had a number of renovations done on my home/homes and have worked with countless contractors in my professional career, never have I been my comfortable with a contractor and satisfied with their work than I have been with Mark and Mavish Homes. Mavish Homes was recommended to me by a friend and from my first meeting with Mark I knew I was in good hands. His professionalism, attention to detail, recommendations and everything to do with our renovation was over the top.
I have referred, and will continue to refer, Mavish Homes to friends and co-workers with absolutely no reservations and will continue to do so.
We recently had Mavish Homes renovate our kitchen, floors, ensuite, and powder room, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From the start, they were incredibly communicative and transparent, keeping us informed every step of the way. Their honesty and straightforward approach made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
What impressed us the most was how they stuck to the project budget and schedule. There were no unexpected changes or delays, which is rare in construction projects. The workmanship was top-notch, and the team’s attention to detail truly stood out.
We are thrilled with the outcome and wouldn’t hesitate to hire Mavish Homes again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!
Local Insight For Smoother Abbotsford Permits And Inspections
Abbotsford provides building permit guides and forms for single‑family, secondary suites, and multi‑family alterations. We prepare the drawings, assemble the package, and coordinate inspections with the City.
Abbotsford also maintains detailed Step Code and Zero Carbon requirements, energy‑modelling expectations, and rebate information for upgrades. We handle e‑submissions, status checks, and inspection requests through their system.
Should You Renovate Or Build New In Abbotsford?
Start with goals and constraints. Renovations preserve your address and often move faster when the shell is solid and you want a new interior plan. New builds deliver total control over envelope, daylight, and systems, but require deeper design, more reviews, and carrying costs. In Abbotsford, permits are typically required for structural changes and for plumbing, gas, or electrical work. The City posts application guides for single‑family additions, secondary suites, and multi‑family alterations.
Abbotsford accepts many residential building permit applications online and provides checklists for additions, basement finishes, and suites. New homes must meet the provincial BC Energy Step Code, and Abbotsford currently requires Part 9 homes to achieve Step 3 with Zero Carbon EL‑1. We’ll model both paths for your property, outline costs and timelines, and lock pricing before construction so you can choose with confidence.
