Vision & Permitting
Planning
Every build starts with clarity. We translate intent into permit-ready drawings, navigating zoning, feasibility and budgeting before a single shovel touches the ground.

What could your lot actually build?
Put in an address and get a proforma for that lot: the unit mix its zoning supports, what the build is likely to cost, and what the numbers look like at the end. Free, and no signup to start.
The Philosophy
Build the home of your dreams.
Building custom homes since 2004, Icon Projects is the builder homeowners across Greater Vancouver, Burnaby, and Abbotsford trust to bring bespoke homes to life. We refine your ideas, align them with proven construction practice, and apply the latest building innovations, so your custom home is designed for the way you actually live.
We don't build for magazine covers. We build for real life, for how a home holds up against everything this climate throws at it, the winter cold and snow, the summer heat, the rain in between. And for how it actually lives: how it feels to move through, not just on handover day, but ten and twenty years in. Years from now, the home should still feel like the best decision you made. We build for that day.

What clients say after living in the house.
My husband and I are so pleased with the work Sanj has done. We built it as an investment property, but seeing the finished product, we're now looking for land to build for ourselves.
Alex Kotai
Private Client
Sanj and Dan were patient with every question we had through the design process. Start to finish, simply excellent.
Shelly Hansal
Custom Home Owner
The workmanship was excellent and the work was completed ahead of schedule. Great work all around, a big thank you to Sanj and his team.
Adam Dorosh
Private Client
From the first site meeting to the day we got our keys, Icon was communicative, precise, and honest. The craftsmanship genuinely exceeded what we'd hoped for.

Building a custom home in West Vancouver: slopes, views and steep-slope permits

View on Instagram: We're comparing two homes in Burnaby, a brand new multiplex at Coldicutt and a pre-owned 1955 home.
View on Instagram: Most people don't realise how much your address affects your health, walkable neighbourhoods make daily movement automatic.
View on Instagram: This can't be built in Burnaby anymore, not a design choice but a bylaw restriction.
View on Instagram: Most people think they're choosing between two homes, the real choice is what each one will cost you over the next twenty years.
View on Instagram: Nobody talks about this when you're buying a home, you'll see the finishes, but not what's behind them.
