What we build.

Four distinct paths from idea to home — each with the same standard of quality, the same care, the same hands.

Multiplex home, Vancouver

Multiplex.

Discover our expertly crafted multiplex homes, designed for modern living.

A multiplex is a residential building that contains multiple separate homes on one property, typically the units are stratified and can be sold separately with unique land titles. Vancouver supports purpose-built rental multiplex development where there is one title for the property and all homes.

In Vancouver, a multiplex under R1-1 zoning can achieve up to 1.0 FSR (living area = lot area) and up to 1.19 FSR for Net Zero and Passive House Design. The minimum number of stratified homes is 3, and the maximum is 6, and up to 8 for purpose-built rental.

R1-1 Zoning · Smart Size Requirements
  • 557 m² (6,000 sq ft) lots: Build 6–8 units
  • 464 m² (5,000 sq ft) lots: Build 5 units
  • 306 m² (3,300 sq ft) lots: Build 3–4 units
Why Averra

At Averra, we believe that every multiplex should be as unique as its owner. We participated in city-led workshops to make multiplex development possible — and we deliver full-service Construction Management including design, permitting, pre-construction, and construction for property owners and developers.

Duplex.

Explore our custom-built duplex homes, where style meets functionality.

A duplex is a residential building that consists of two separate living units, typically side by side or stacked on top of one another. Each unit functions as a fully independent home, with its own kitchen, bathrooms, and living areas. Duplexes are designed to offer the privacy and space of a single-family home while sharing a common structure.

Choosing a duplex offers a unique blend of affordability, flexibility, and long-term value. For homeowners, duplexes provide the opportunity to live in one unit while generating rental income from the other, helping offset mortgage costs. Additionally, they maximize land use, providing the benefits of a single-family home with the potential for investment returns.

From customized layouts to innovative, energy-efficient solutions, we focus on every detail to ensure your duplex is functional, stylish, and built to last.

Custom home, Vancouver

Custom Homes.

Create your dream custom home with personalized design and unmatched craftsmanship.

A custom home is a uniquely designed residence, tailored entirely to your preferences, lifestyle, and specific needs. Unlike pre-built homes, a custom home allows you to have complete control over every aspect of the design process — from the floor plan to the materials used, and even the smallest details of interior finishes.

Choosing a custom home gives you the ultimate freedom to design a space that fits your exact vision and lifestyle. You're not limited by pre-designed templates or restrictive options; instead, you have full control over the architecture, materials, and features that will make your home truly unique. Custom homes also allow for future-proofing, enabling you to incorporate energy-efficient solutions, smart home technology, and spaces that grow with your family.

Why Averra

From the initial design consultation to the final walkthrough, our team works closely with you to ensure that every element of your home is tailored to your vision. We are committed to delivering exceptional quality, using the finest materials and sustainable building practices to create homes that are not only beautiful but built to last.

Net Zero Homes.

Experience the future of sustainable living with our expertly designed Net Zero homes.

A Net Zero Home is a highly energy-efficient home designed to produce as much energy as it consumes, resulting in a carbon-neutral footprint. These homes are built using advanced construction techniques and materials that minimize energy use, while renewable energy systems, such as solar panels, generate the energy required for heating, cooling, and electricity.

A CHBA Net Zero Labeled home satisfies the criteria for a "Zero Emission Building" and is currently eligible for an exclusion of 19% when computing the allowable Floor Space Ratio (FSR). The exclusion of floor space will not be given for applications received after Dec 31st, 2025.

Track Record · Vancouver
  • 10 Net Zero Labeled homes and duplexes since 2022
