We’ve seen it happen too many times—homeowners sign a vague contract, then watch costs snowball with every trade that walks through the door. Material allowances get blown. Timelines stretch. Surprise invoices pile up... That doesn’t happen here.

Our fixed price model includes everything:

  • Architectural plans & interior design
  • Engineering (structural, mechanical, and envelope)
  • Permits, inspections, and energy‑code compliance
  • Materials and finishes, sourced and scheduled
  • Labour, site management, safety, and cleanup

Every detail is finalized before we begin, and the number on your contract won’t change unless you decide to change it. We build clarity into every step—so you can plan your life while we build your home.

BUILD INVESTMENT GUIDE

(Metro Vancouver & Fraser Valley)

Most custom homes in our market fall between $500–$800+ per square foot, depending on design, finishes, and site conditions.
The homes below represent starting points for planning purposes.


🌲 Craftsman Estate

Starting at $550 / sq ft

If you want a home that feels warm, timeless, and rich in character with natural materials and thoughtful detailing, a craftsman style is the right fit.

Craftsman homes focus on texture, structure, and detail—often featuring exposed beams, stonework, and custom millwork. These homes feel grounded and inviting, with a strong sense of craftsmanship throughout.


🌲 Timber Frame Estate

Starting at $650 / sq ft

If you want a home that feels bold, natural, and architecturally striking with exposed structure and a strong connection to its surroundings, a timber frame estate is the right fit.

Timber frame homes are defined by large spans, exposed structural elements, and a dramatic architectural presence. These are highly custom builds that require specialized engineering and execution.


🌲 Modern Farmhouse Estate

Starting at $600 / sq ft

If you want a home that blends clean, modern living with timeless farmhouse character—bright, open, and effortlessly refined—a modern farmhouse estate is the right fit.

Modern farmhouse homes combine traditional forms with contemporary finishes, creating spaces that feel both classic and current.


🌲 Traditional Estate

Starting at $650 / sq ft

If you want a home that feels elegant, timeless, and rooted in classic architecture with refined details and a strong sense of symmetry, a traditional estate is the right fit.

These homes emphasize balance, proportion, and detail, often featuring formal layouts, detailed trim, and a more structured architectural language.

HOW TO CHOOSE

Most homeowners don’t fit perfectly into one category—and that’s exactly how it should be.

Our role is to take elements from each style and create a home that feels uniquely yours, while ensuring the design aligns with your budget from the very beginning.


⚙️ OUR APPROACH

At Mavish Homes, we don’t just build homes—we guide the entire process:

  • Aligning design with budget early

  • Coordinating architects and consultants

  • Providing fixed-price construction agreements

  • Managing every detail through construction

This ensures a clear, structured, and predictable experience from concept through completion.

🚨 TRUTH (YOU SHOULD KNOW)

  • Anything under $500/sq ft today =
    👉 either outdated
    👉 spec-level
    👉 or missing scope

  • Real custom + Step Code / Step 5 builds:
    👉 $600–$900+/sq ft is where serious projects land
