MDM Harp Contracting specializes in custom-built multiplex homes, transforming single-family lots into modern, high-quality duplexes, triplexes, and multiplexes of up to 8 units.
Whether you’re looking to maximize the value of your property, create additional rental income, or design a living space for extended family, our team of expert builders and project managers ensures your vision becomes a reality.
Constructing a multi-unit or multi-family home offers a range of benefits, from creating additional living spaces for extended family members to supporting multigenerational households. These properties are ideal for fostering closer family connections while maintaining separate and private living areas for everyone.
Alternatively, multi-family dwellings can serve as rental properties, generating a steady stream of passive income. Another advantage is the potential to sell individual units, providing an opportunity to recover a portion of the construction costs while still retaining ownership of part of the property.
When you build with MDM Harp, you’re involved at every step of the construction process. Our user-friendly online platform gives you real-time access to project details, including materials costs, schedules, subcontractor quotes, and the overall budget. This transparency ensures you stay informed and confident as your vision comes to life.
At MDM Harp, we excel in managing the complexities of securing building permits, ensuring the process is handled with precision and efficiency. We collaborate with top-tier architects, home planners, interior designers, and skilled tradespeople to deliver exceptional results. Whether you’re building a duplex, triplex, multiplex, or laneway home in Vancouver, we are committed to achieving unparalleled quality and design excellence.
We begin with an in-home consultation. This meeting allows us to discuss your vision, address any concerns, and establish a mutual understanding for a successful luxury home project.
Following our initial meeting, we finalize a pre-construction agreement. This document outlines expectations, timelines, and responsibilities, ensuring a well-organized construction process.
Next, we spend time at your property to fully grasp your vision. This phase allows us to conceptualize personalized design solutions and facilitate informed decision-making for your renovation or custom build.
Our project manager and coordinator begin organizing and planning your project, preparing a Class D Budget. This stage ensures smooth execution and effective resource allocation for your renovation or new home build.
We assemble a team of experienced professionals tailored to your project’s needs, which may include engineers, architects, interior designers, and more. This collaboration guarantees expert guidance throughout the building process.
With detailed information, we create a project estimate and budget, setting realistic expectations and ensuring cost control throughout the process.
At MDM Harp, we prioritize environmentally conscious construction. Our team presents cost-effective, sustainable, and energy-efficient solutions to enhance your home.
We assist you in selecting high-quality materials that align with your aesthetic preferences. Our project coordinator prepares a Class B Budget based on architectural and interior designs, allowing us to solicit detailed quotes from multiple trades.
After obtaining building permits, we select primary trades such as electrical, plumbing, and heating. At this stage, we develop a Class A Budget that covers all anticipated costs, including materials, labor, and permits.
We collaborate with energy consultants and organizations like Built Green Canada to conduct quality inspections throughout the construction process. These independent evaluations ensure compliance with industry standards and enhance overall craftsmanship.
Our team provides regular project scheduling and status updates, keeping you informed and ensuring smooth progress on your project.
Upon completion, we conduct a final walk-through with you to address any concerns and confirm your satisfaction with the work done.
For your peace of mind, your home comes with a 2-5-10 home warranty, which covers 2 years on labour and materials, 5 years on the building envelope, including water penetration, and 10 years on structure.
We offer a wide range of services for custom home building and commercial renovations, from concept to completed construction. MDM Harp Contracting is your one-stop shop for all your building needs, making the process more convenient and efficient for you.
We recently renovated our 1961 Vancouver Special to a bright, modern craftsman home with all the latest amenities and comforts after employing MDM Harp Contracting. It was a big undertaking to transform our living space into a place that we are pleased to show to all our friends.
We are extremely impressed with MDM Harp Contracting’s workmanship, attention to detail, integrity and highly recommend them for any renovation. Evan has excellent communication skills with everyone involved during the project: owners, designers, sub trades and suppliers. He is friendly and easy to talk to while resolving any design issues. He managed to maintain the original budget of the project with no unexpected surprises and skillfully managed the sub trades to coordinate their time onsite when necessary. Evan ensures everything is exactly correct and to our satisfaction before considering it completed.
We are so happy with our newly renovated space and all its comforts. We are very grateful and fortunate to have chosen MDM Harp Contracting and highly recommend them for your project.
Thank you for a lovely job well done
Evan Gallagher was our contractor for our kitchen renovation last summer, which involved completely gutting the old kitchen and installing new everything. We had never heard of a kitchen reno that went ‘according to plan’ - there were always delays, cost overruns, disagreements with the trades, etc. Now we can say we know of at least one!
Our renovation went exactly as Evan predicted it would, and within budget. Evan was always pleasant, professional and punctual. He knew exactly what he was doing and wrangled the trades, making sure they did what they were supposed to do, when they were supposed to do it. When one contractor was unable to delivery our counter-top on time, Evan found someone who could. And Evan is a skilled worker, able to perform some of the work himself and keep costs in line.
We’re thrilled with the end product and very happy we chose Evan Gallagher as our contractor. We plan to use him for our up-coming bathroom renovation.
Thank you for a lovely job well done!
I have worked with Evan Gallagher on both the design and construction of condo & single-family house renovation projects. Evan has extensive technical and practical knowledge of architectural design and the BC Buildlng Code. He has been invaluable in preparing architectural permit drawings and navigating through the permit application process.
As a general contractor, Evan's approach to building is solutions-oriented and he has a keen eye for detail and respect for the design intent. Evan works with top trades and the quality of workmanship is excellent. I would highly recommend Evan for both architectural consulting and general contracting.
