We plan and deliver custom homes and major renovations in Ladner with a single point of accountability. You get a fixed‑price contract, a realistic calendar that we stick to, and a client portal that logs progress with photos every day. Our PHBI‑trained, BC Housing‑certified team handles drawings, permits, vetted trades, and inspections.

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 Rules That Truly Shape Projects In Ladner
Applications flow through Delta Online. We assemble drawings, upload forms, pay fees, and keep permits current. Inspections are scheduled, rescheduled, and confirmed through eInspection—handy when the weather shifts or tides affect access.
Sites near streams, sloughs, and marshes can trigger Streamside Protection DPAs; we confirm setbacks before design gets too far. On low‑lying parcels, flood construction levels and covenants influence floor heights and tie‑ins. We verify titles and plan details early.
Strata properties require a signed letter of authorization; we secure it so permits aren’t delayed. Considering more units on a single‑detached lot? Delta has adopted small‑scale multi‑unit housing regulations—ask us to check eligibility for your address.
Should You Renovate Or Build New In Ladner?
Renovations keep your address and can move faster when the bones are sound. They’re ideal for re‑planning interiors, improving services, and upgrading finishes while staying within the existing shell.
New builds give full control over layout, daylight, and performance. They demand more design and carrying time, but reward you with long‑term efficiency and low maintenance.
In Ladner, plan early for flood construction levels and streamside setbacks near sloughs or ditches. We confirm minimum elevations, handle Streamside Protection DPAs when required, and book inspections online to keep trades moving. Provincially, Energy Step Code applies to new homes; starting March 10, 2025, most new buildings must also meet Zero Carbon Step Code EL‑1. We coordinate energy modelling and documentation so targets are practical and priced.
