Development
Land development across Greater Vancouver, from acquisition through to permitted, shovel ready, fully entitled.

What our development service covers
Major Homes excels at development projects across the Greater Vancouver area. We use our real estate experience to find and secure land suitable for redevelopment, then handle the entire process to city codes and bylaws. Our development service transforms raw land or existing properties into a higher and better use, often residential, commercial, or mixed use.
How we run a development
Every project starts with a feasibility study covering zoning, density, topography, soil conditions, utility access, and environmental constraints. From there we build a pro forma showing projected costs, timeline, and return. Once the development plan is approved, we pull all permits, engage civil engineers for site preparation, coordinate with architects on building design, and run construction.
- Obtain development permits, demolish existing structures where needed, and oversee construction.
- Work directly with city inspectors and neighbours to keep the process clean.
- Detailed work to make sure the new project adds value and fits the neighbourhood.
- Vertical integration: same team manages development and construction, no third party handoffs.
Why work with Major Homes on a development
Most developers hand construction off to a third party. Major Homes is both the developer and the builder, which closes the communication gaps, cost overruns, and quality compromises that show up when development and construction are managed by separate firms. With Rick Garcha's real estate experience and Major Garcha's construction experience, you get market knowledge and building knowledge from the same team.
