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!
Port Moody Permits, Energy Rules, And Strata Realities
Port Moody requires permit applications to be submitted online. We assemble the package, upload through the eServices portal, and keep documents current. The City’s inspection requests are booked through an online form, which helps sequence work cleanly.
City of Port Moody
Projects may need specific forms: hazardous materials report, letter of authorization for strata properties, and energy intensity reporting. We confirm what applies at the outset to prevent review delays.
City of Port Moody
The City has adopted an accelerated path for Energy Step Code and Zero Carbon Step Code, including Step 4 and EL‑4 for most new low‑rise homes filed in 2025. We plan for air‑tightness testing, mechanical strategy, and documentation with your energy advisor. For sites near creeks or steep slopes, we coordinate required studies and design responses early.
Should You Renovate Or Build New In Port Moody?
Renovations keep your address and can move faster when the structure is solid and you want a new interior plan. New builds deliver total control over layout, envelope, and performance. They demand more design, City reviews, and carrying costs, but can maximize views, light, and long‑term efficiency.
As of January 1, 2025, Port Moody requires Part 9 single‑ and two‑family homes to meet Energy Step Code Step 4 and Zero Carbon Step Code EL‑4 “zero‑carbon‑ready,” with Step 5 targeted for 2027 under the City’s accelerated timeline.
Applications, supporting forms, and inspection bookings are handled online through the City’s eServices and inspection request process, which helps us maintain momentum between trades and reviews. We manage submissions and timing on your behalf. Either path—renovation or new build—starts with a clear plan and a fixed price.
