Know the Cost Before Your Courtenay Custom Home Builder Starts Work
With Southpaw Homes as your Courtenay custom home builder, you know what your house will cost before any work starts on your lot. We price our custom homes from complete drawings and competing trade bids, and you sign one contract sum with clear inclusions. If you add or change something later, a written change order shows the cost first, and you approve it before we build it.
You do not need to live near the site to know how your build is going. Through our client portal, you can open the daily logs, progress photos and schedule at any hour, so you see each stage from the footings to the finished cabinetry, wherever you are that day. Milestone notifications tell you when a stage is complete and what comes next.

What You Get When Southpaw Builds Your Home
We settle the major decisions in the drawings first, while they are simple to change.
01
Your Lot and Budget
We meet you at the lot and learn how you live, then give you a budget range and a likely schedule before you pay for design.
02
Design and Engineering
We coordinate your architect or designer with the structural engineer and energy advisor, and confirm finishes and lead times so the drawings are ready to price.
03
The Build
Our project manager schedules the trades and checks their work. At each milestone, we walk the house with you before the next phase begins.
04
Move-In and Follow-Up
At handover, we give you a digital file of manuals, paint colours and trade contacts. We return for check-ins at 30 days and one year.
Building Your Custom Home in Courtenay
We plan for the City's rules and the inspection schedule before you apply.
Lot Review
We Can Review a Lot Before You Buy It
We confirm whether the City or the regional district issues the permit, and check setbacks, service connections and how many trees the City expects the lot to keep or replant.

We are licensed by BC Housing, and we register your new home with Pacific Home Warranty for 2-5-10 protection.

Additions and Renovations From the Same Team
If you like your house but the kitchen feels tight, an addition may suit you better than moving. We can extend the main floor for a larger kitchen and a great room that opens to the yard, at a fixed price like our new homes.
