Multiplex buildings are springing up on Vancouver's residential streets. Where single-family homes once stood alone, multiplexes now offer 3 to 6 homes on a single lot. This new type of home is a critical answer to Vancouver's housing shortage, and at the same time the multiplex is creating new opportunities for property owners.
Recent Vancouver zoning changes opened the door for homeowners to reimagine their properties. Building a multiplex means contributing to your community's housing needs while potentially generating significant rental income or creating space for extended family. These projects deliver value to your whole family when done right.

Vancouver multiplex projects are complex. Between new zoning rules, building code requirements, and design constraints, there's a lot to understand. That's where Smallworks comes in.
We handle everything under one roof. No chasing down separate architects, builders, and permit specialists. Our team manages your entire project from first sketch to final inspection. Our streamlined approach saves you time and keeps your project on track.
Every multiplex starts with understanding your property's potential. On our consultation call we will assess your lot size, lane access, existing trees, and location to determine what you can build. Your site might accommodate 3, 4, or even 6 units depending on these factors. We figure out the best configuration for your specific property.
Our designers listen to your needs. Multiplex design gives owners so many options, such as keeping one or more units for themself or their family. We take into account how you will use your units. Our designers create privacy between units, fit in parking, and meet Vancouver's strict building code from the start.
Vancouver's multiplex approval process is about precision. We prepare complete permit packages and handle city communications. This includes coordinating with consultants like surveyors, tree experts, and engineers.
As your builder, we keep tight control over quality and timeline. Our experienced build crews understand Vancouver multiplex-specific challenges; from firewall separation to water drainage.
