Questions
Frequently asked questions about Costar Construction
What does Costar Construction build?
Costar Construction is a Vancouver construction management company. Its work covers multiplexes, custom homes, laneway homes and legal suites, kitchen and bathroom renovations, and commercial tenant improvements for wellness and beauty, healthcare, hospitality, office and retail, and childcare spaces. The office is at 104 - 338 W 8th Ave, Vancouver, and the first one-hour project consultation costs nothing.
What are the stages of a Costar project?
Costar's process page describes five stages: design and planning, pre-construction, construction, handover and warranty. Design and planning starts with a first meeting where you interview the team. Pre-construction covers the budget, the specifications, a written contract and the permit drawings. Construction covers site preparation, the foundation, framing, the trades and city inspections. At handover the site is cleaned, you and the team inspect the home together, and you receive the keys and a project binder. In the warranty stage, the process page says the team inspects at 3, 6 and 12 months.
Who supervises the work on site?
The process page says Costar supervises the crew and the subtrades, conducts the rough-ins for plumbing and heating, and handles the city inspections. It also says you may visit the site regularly and that the team gives you regular progress updates. This supervision belongs to the construction stage, the third of the five stages on the process page.
How is the price set?
According to Costar's process page, you and the team discuss the budget and agree on a cost plus arrangement, and then sign a written contract. A cost plus arrangement generally means you pay the actual cost of materials and trades plus an agreed amount for the builder. Ask your consultant for the exact terms on your project. The process page also says Costar uses CoConstruct software, from Buildertrend, to track progress and expenses.
Do I need a site or drawings before I call?
No. Costar's process page says that if you have not chosen a site, the team can help with an inspection and offer advice on how suitable it is. If you already work with a designer or architect, the team joins the drawings from the beginning to check that the home can be built as drawn. The team can also recommend design and architecture firms it has worked with.
Has Costar won an award or joined a builders' association?
Costar Construction Inc. won the 2024 Georgie Award for Best Multiplex Home, for the project It Takes Two, according to the 2024 winners list from the Canadian Home Builders' Association of BC. Costar is also listed in the member directory of the Homebuilders Association Vancouver (HAVAN).
Can I read a company profile before I call?
Yes. The company profile is a 13-page PDF overview of the team, the services and completed work. You enter your name, email and phone number, and the download starts right away. The file is a PDF, and it is listed on the Downloads page in the Resources section of this site.
