House Plans Nanaimo
and Vancouver Island

The right house plan is the foundation of every successful build. At Buck Robertson Contracting, we design house plans that match your lifestyle, your lot, and your vision. From basic layouts to custom 3D designs, we make sure your home works on paper before we break ground.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PRE-DESIGN

Why Start with A Professional House Plan?

A house plan is more than a drawing. It sets the flow of your home, defines how you use each space, and ensures your project is practical and buildable. With a professional plan, you avoid costly changes during construction and have confidence that your design meets local code and zoning.

PLAN TYPES OVERVIEW

Basic House Plans VS Custom House Plans

Basic plans give you a starting point at a lower cost. They cover standard layouts and are ideal if you want a simple, proven design.

Custom house plans go further. We tailor every detail to your lifestyle, your budget, and your property. This means better use of space, unique features, and a home that fits you perfectly.

How To Choose The Right House Plan

Think about your family’s needs today and in the future. Consider your lot’s shape, slope, and views. If you choose to do a Design-Build with us, our professional designer will help you balance your budget, function, and style so you get a plan that works now and grows with you.

The right house plan isn’t about square footage it’s about how you want to live.

Designing For Vancouver

What Our Clients Say

We believe good work speaks for itself — but it means even more when our clients speak up too.

“Jordan and his skilled team at Buck Robertson Contracting not only renovated and converted my suite into a legal unit but also gave me the peace of mind that comes with knowing it was completed in a meticulous and above-board manner. In addition, they expertly tackled the repair of my deck. Initially, it appeared to be a small task, but as they delved into the project and revealed more issues, it became evident that I had made the right choice in entrusting them to handle a much larger job.”
