(06) — How we build

A clear arc — from first site visit to final key.

1:500 site model of a 50-unit multi-family build in the Lower Mainland, BC
01

Site & feasibility

We read the land before anything is designed — access, orientation, zoning potential, and market context. For land development projects, we underwrite the pro forma before committing.

2—4 wk
02

Design & permits

Working drawings, municipal submissions, and engineering coordination. We manage the permit process directly — no consultant handoffs on the critical path.

8—20 wk
03

Procurement

Trade selection, scheduling, and material procurement locked before ground is broken. A fixed cost plan, not an estimate that drifts.

2—4 wk
04

Build

Daily on-site supervision. The principal is on site, not in an office. Quality, schedule, and budget managed in real time from foundation to final coat.

4—24 mo
05

Handover

Deficiency clearance, occupancy permit, and complete document handover. We stay available for twelve months post-completion.

(08) — About the practice

Engineering discipline. Development ambition.

Kyrax Developments is a BC Housing licensed builder with active site supervision on a 50-unit, 6-storey residential project in the Lower Mainland — and a growing portfolio of land acquisitions, spec homes, and commercial work across BC and Alberta.

We work across the full development stack — from identifying and acquiring land, through design and permitting, to construction and handover. One team, fully accountable, start to finish. The same standard goes into a spec home in Surrey as a 50-unit building in the Lower Mainland.
