Vancouver Duplex, Triplex & Multiplex Builders

Smithwood Builders – Building Homes with Purpose

At Smithwood Builders, we believe that building better homes means building a better Vancouver. Our focus on craftsmanship, transparency, and sustainability ensures that every duplex, triplex, or multiplex we create improves our clients’ quality of life while reducing the environmental impact of construction.

With Vancouver facing an ongoing housing shortage, the city has introduced new housing bylaws to encourage “missing middle” housing – multi-unit homes that bridge the gap between single-family houses and large condo towers. Smithwood Builders is proud to help families and investors unlock the potential of their properties by creating high-quality multi-unit residences that benefit both homeowners and the community.

The Smithwood Vision in Action

Our vision is simple yet powerful: to enhance the standard of living for Vancouver homeowners while minimizing the footprint our industry leaves on the planet. When you choose Smithwood for your duplex, triplex, or multiplex construction, you’re not just investing in a home – you’re contributing to a future where housing is more accessible, efficient, and sustainable.

Vancouver Duplex Builders

A duplex is a two-unit home built within a single structure, often sharing a wall but with separate entrances and living spaces. This design is ideal for families looking to house multiple generations together or homeowners who want rental income without sacrificing privacy. The benefits of a duplex include efficient land use, strong long-term value, and flexibility in ownership and design. As leading Vancouver duplex builders, Smithwood Builders brings precision craftsmanship and local expertise to every project—ensuring your duplex feels custom, cohesive, and built to last.

Vancouver Triplex Builders

A triplex takes the concept of multi-unit living further, offering three distinct residences within one property. Whether configured side-by-side or stacked, triplexes provide increased income potential, optimized density, and smart investment advantages in Vancouver’s growing housing market. They also deliver modern design opportunities and sustainable living solutions for urban families. As trusted Vancouver triplex builders, Smithwood Builders guides clients through design, permitting, and construction with clarity and care, delivering homes that balance beauty, function, and long-term performance.

Vancouver Multiplex Builders

Multiplexes—typically four or more homes within a single building—are a progressive answer to Vancouver’s demand for more housing. They maximize land efficiency, support sustainable urban growth, and create vibrant communities while giving homeowners flexibility to live in one unit and rent the rest. The benefits of a multiplex extend beyond financial returns: they foster intergenerational living and expand housing diversity. As experienced Vancouver multiplex builders, Smithwood combines proven construction methods with a deep understanding of local bylaws to deliver multiplex projects that meet both your personal and investment goals.

Why Build a Multi-Unit Home in Vancouver?

Multi-unit housing isn’t just about addressing the city’s housing crisis – it’s about creating opportunities for families and property owners:

Multigenerational Living: A duplex or triplex allows families to live close together while enjoying privacy and independence.
Rental Income: Vancouver’s rental market is strong – adding extra units can provide steady revenue.
Added Value: Converting your single-family lot into a multi-unit property can increase resale value and expand your investment options.

Smithwood’s Mission – Homes Built With Care

Our mission is to elevate homes through exceptional craftsmanship and a thoughtful, integrated approach to the entire building process. From initial planning to the final walkthrough, Smithwood approaches every phase with precision, care, and a deep respect for our clients’ vision .

Vancouver’s Missing Middle – What Can You Build?

Under the City of Vancouver’s new housing policies, many single-family lots now qualify for:

Three to six units (depending on lot size and configuration)
Up to three storeys in height
Seven or eight units on larger lots, if designated as long-term rentals (with the owner permitted to live in one unit)

This opens up new opportunities for duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and multiplexes across neighbourhoods such as Kerrisdale, Kitsilano, Hastings-Sunrise, and West Vancouver.
