Fixed-price contracts
Clear Pricing. Fixed-Price Contracts.
Budget surprises often come from unknowns: servicing, access, slope, and design choices that add up. We define the scope early so you can make a better decision before committing.
Based in Squamish • Serving Sea-to-Sky, North Vancouver, Vancouver, and nearby areas
What we define early
01
Clear inclusions and exclusions
So you understand what is included, what is not, and where allowances may still be needed.
02
Site and servicing realities
Access, utilities, foundations, slope, drainage, and delivery logistics can all affect cost.
03
A build path that fits the budget
Modular, panelized, and custom options can be compared before design costs start adding up.
Backed by Newlines Contracting since 2006, with multiple build paths under one local team.
Before the ADU arrives
From empty backyard to move-in-ready coach house
Most people only see the finished ADU. This video shows what happens in between.
While the home was being built off-site, we completed the foundation, services, and site preparation so everything was ready for delivery day.
In about one month, this Squamish backyard went from site prep to a move-in-ready coach house.
Watch the installation below.
★★★★★
“The build itself came together smoothly and right on schedule. The fixed price contract also ensured we didn’t have to pay more than we signed up for, even when unexpected costs came up.”

How it works
A clear path from first review to build A clear path to build
The goal is to narrow the right path early, reduce rework, and move into design, permits, and construction with more confidence.
Start with the lot, then choose the right path before design costs add up.
Most homeowners do not need drawings on day one. They need to understand what may fit, what could get in the way, and what the smartest next step looks like for their property.
We start with the lot, then shape the right build path — modular, panelized, or fully custom — before the project moves too far in the wrong direction.
24–72h • Remote • No obligation
Free lot assessment
A remote first look at likely fit, early constraints, and the next steps before you spend money on design.
Site review when needed
We verify access, slope, utilities, siting, and the conditions that shape the project.
Pre-construction planning
We narrow the siting, likely build path, planning budget, and permit roadmap so the project can move forward with more clarity.
Permit + technical coordination
Survey, engineering, energy work, drawings, and submission are coordinated once the direction is clear.
Build + handover
Site work, assembly or construction, utility connections, inspections, and final walkthrough — all tied back to the plan set early.
