* How A Contractor Becomes A Builder

 

  New home construction  in the province of British Columbia is a tightly regulated Industry. To build homes in this province the contractor must become a licensed builder in the province of British Columbia.

  In order to obtain a licence the contractor approaches a warranty provider, and applies to obtain government mandated insurance coverage to protect the consumers purchasing the builders units.

  This requires the contractor to prove financial stability and integrity and display thorough experience in the home building industry. If approved the builder can then apply to obtain their builder licence from The Home Owners Protection Office.

 

  As a new home builder in the province of British Columbia Greenwave Construction has completed these steps. Consumer protection has always been one of our core values and we the salute the legislation that tightly controls the industry.

Although the days of the horse and carriage have long ago slipped into history, in the past, the term “carriage house” described a building for the housing of carriages, coaches and the like. These structures commonly had servants’ quarters located above them. As the years went by the carriages evolved into automobiles and the servant quarters in many cases have become secondary suites used for a variety of purposes.

Today the term carriage house is commonly used to describe a small home located in the rear yard of an existing home. This home can be used as a mortgage helper, for extended family or for visiting guests. These days carriage houses have made a big comeback. Many municipalities are now allowing carriage homes in their zoning. Cities have seen this zoning as an opportunity to increase density, and their tax base without installing additional services for these residences. In Kelowna Carriage homes can also serve to reduce urban sprawl

Kelowna carriage homes offer a wonderful opportunity to get that mortgage helper or keep a family together as it grows or allow a family to move back closer together. If you are curious as to whether or not you can erect a carriage home just check with your municipal building department. They will sit down with you, answer your questions and make suggestions. There are certain setback and parking requirements that must be met. It is also prudent to enquire about your water, sewer, gas and hydro services; they may be required to be upgraded to allow for the proposed development.

Final project complete re clad and suite added,
Is that a new house?

Recently, Greenwave Construction actually built a Carriage house on top of a home as a penthouse suite (see our video series) because the lot did not allow for the carriage home to be built in the rear yard. The home had a flat roof and the end result is a real head turner. With the home receiving a new cladding it now looks like a new home. Another option could be to attach the carriage home to the existing in the form of an addition; this can save space as well.

 

 

If you are considering a carriage home or another construction project for your home or business please give Greenwave Construction a call; we want to help. Our 30 years of experience and full in construction management can save you time and money. We will produce a high quality project at a down to earth price. Today’s mortgage money has never been cheaper and financial institutions usually look favorably upon revenue properties. Carriage homes rent well and are favoured by many as an alternative to suites and condos.
