A home in six months, at the price you signed.

Yes. Every Elk Ridge home is built to CSA A277, so it's fully mortgageable. It isn't a mobile home or a tiny home: it's a permanent home on a solid foundation, and lenders treat it the same as a site-built house. It can be your main home, a carriage house, a secondary suite or a laneway home. RBC has a great modular mortgage program, and many local credit unions finance our homes too.

Yes. Every home is CSA A277 certified, which means it's built to the latest building code for wherever it's going, including the current BC Building Code. Every home is also fully engineered, even when it doesn't have to be. With a structural engineer signing off, building inspectors approve permits faster and with fewer questions. Engineering is included in your price, and we apply for your building permit for you. You cover the permit fees; we handle the paperwork. We've never had a project fail to get a permit.

As far as you need. Most of our homes go across Western Canada, including off-grid sites, barge and ferry deliveries, and even helicopter drops to remote spots, and we can quote projects anywhere in North America. Distance mostly changes the delivery price. The real limit is usually size: some routes and sites restrict how tall or wide a module can be. Tell us your location and the model you like, and we'll confirm exactly what we can deliver there and what it costs.

About six months from start to move-in, on average. The biggest variable is you: some people settle their layout and finish selections in a few weeks, others take a couple of months. Permits are the other one. Depending on where you are, they take anywhere from 2–3 weeks to 12–14 weeks. Home size and our current order book play a part too. Some homes go faster and some take a couple of months longer, but six months is typical. Your site work happens while your home is being built, so the two run side by side.

Your home is built in our shop, so we can set its price up front. Site work and foundations depend on your land: soil, slope, access and what the geotech report says. We look at your property first, then give you a clear estimate.

Yes. Choose just the home, and we'll deliver it and set it on your foundation.

Every home comes with a 1-5-10 warranty: 1 year on workmanship, 5 years on water penetration (windows, doors and the building envelope) and 10 years on the structure. Appliances and mechanical equipment carry their own manufacturer warranties on top of that. If you sell, the warranty can transfer to the new owners. We just come out first to inspect the home, take up-to-date photos and confirm what's still covered.

50% to start, 20% halfway through the build in our shop, 20% when your home is finished in our shop, and the final 10% when we schedule delivery. The first payment gets your engineering drawings done and your materials ordered right away, especially long-lead items like windows and doors, so everything is here and ready when your build starts.

Yes. Our models are homes we've designed and built for ourselves and for clients, and most people start with one they like and ask us to change a few things. That's easy. Sometimes your lot and setbacks don't fit any of our current designs, so we design a home that makes the most of the space you have. Custom design usually doesn't add much cost. We price it on how much design work it takes. The bigger effect is time, since finalizing a custom plan takes longer.

Yes. We offer solar packages, composting toilets, propane appliances and on-demand hot water, and we can build a home solar-ready if you'd rather add the system later. Water tanks and cisterns sit outside the home, so those are part of your site work. Our cabins are already running fully off-grid at homes and resorts across BC.

The whole home, completely finished: appliances and everything you see in the photos. We don't advertise a low starting number and then charge for every little thing. Our standard finishes include standing-seam metal and composite exterior cladding, quartz countertops, solid birch cabinetry, stainless appliances, a tiled walk-in shower with glass, and higher-end European flooring. Most people spend $5,000–10,000 on upgrades, and no one has gone past $30,000, usually because they wanted a higher-end wood stove. What isn't in the home price is your land, delivery and crane, your foundation, site work and utilities, permit fees and GST. You'll find real examples in the budget section above, and we price yours exactly after your property review.
