Custom Home Builder in Coquitlam
Major Homes builds custom homes across Coquitlam and the Tri-Cities, from family residences in Westwood Plateau to modern builds in Burke Mountain and infill projects across central Coquitlam.
Coquitlam has become one of Greater Vancouver's most active custom home markets, with a strong mix of larger lots, mountain views, and growing transit access. Major Homes has worked across Coquitlam's neighbourhoods for years, building family homes in Westwood Plateau, modern residences in Burke Mountain, and infill custom builds in Maillardville, Como Lake, and central Coquitlam. Each area has its own zoning bylaws and neighbourhood character. We know how to navigate the City of Coquitlam permit process and design homes that fit the block while standing on their own.
Neighbourhoods We Build In
Westwood Plateau
An established hillside neighbourhood with larger lots, mountain views, and a quiet, family focused atmosphere. Custom homes here range from updated traditional to contemporary modern.
Burke Mountain
One of Coquitlam's fastest growing communities, with newer larger lots, mountain backdrops, and proximity to outdoor recreation. Popular for modern custom builds.
Maillardville
Coquitlam's historic Francophone neighbourhood, with a mix of heritage character homes and infill custom builds. Walking distance to amenities and transit.
Como Lake
A central Coquitlam neighbourhood with mature streets, family schools, and steady demand for tear down and rebuild custom homes.
