Southpaw Homes is a BC Housing licensed residential builder serving Nanaimo and Central Vancouver Island. Marking ten years in business, the company builds custom homes and renovations on a true fixed price set before construction begins, rather than the open-ended cost-plus contracts common across the industry.<\/div>\n

Nanaimo, British Columbia – July 28th, 2026 –<\/strong> Southpaw Homes, a custom home builder and renovation contractor serving Nanaimo and Central Vancouver Island, is marking ten years in business<\/strong> with a renewed focus on the fixed-price design-build model that has defined the company since 2016. The firm is a BC Housing Licensed Residential Builder<\/strong> carrying Pacific Home Warranty 2-5-10 coverage, WorkSafeBC compliance, and $5 million in commercial liability insurance, and is a long-standing member of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of Vancouver Island.<\/p>\n

Rather than working from allowances and open budgets, Southpaw Homes<\/a> finalizes scope, engineering, and material selections during pre-construction, then collects competitive bids from every trade before a contract is signed. The result is a single fixed number the homeowner can plan around. The approach is aimed at owners who want a build they can budget for with confidence rather than one that reveals its true cost partway through framing.<\/p>\n

The company works throughout Nanaimo, Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Ladysmith, Duncan, Courtenay, Comox, Cumberland, Salt Spring Island, and Gabriola Island, building to BC Energy Step Code performance targets and to the specific structural and moisture demands of coastal Vancouver Island construction.<\/p>\n

“Most custom home budgets fail long before anyone picks a countertop,” said Jeremy Harper, Owner of Southpaw Homes. “They fail because the plan was not finished when the contract was signed. We do the hard thinking first, price it honestly, and then build it. That is not a sales pitch. It is just the only version of this that respects the homeowner’s money.”<\/p>\n

Alongside custom builds, Southpaw Homes offers home additions and suites, full home renovations, kitchen renovations, and bathroom renovations. Every project runs through a single point of contact with weekly progress updates, photo logs, and milestone walkthroughs, and closes with a digital turnover package plus 30-day and one-year follow-up visits.<\/p>\n
