Ballard Fine Homes
Builders in Nanaimo, BC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 October 2018
“Amazing company! Ballard Fine Homes did our home renovations and we are thrilled with the transformation. Don Ballard and his design team are incredible at what they do and we would highly recommend using them. We saved thousands of dollars just on our kitchen alone over any other estimates we had. First class service and quality all the way through. We look forward to working with your company again in the future. Trevor and Rae”
Alair Homes
Builders in Nanaimo, BC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 January 2017
“Alair Homes Nanaimo is the best! They completed the reno of our original 1980's west coast home almost two years ago. We completely redid the interior - kitchen, flooring, 3 baths, two fireplaces and the laundry room. Dan and Stu were professional and a joy to work with. I always felt they kept our best interests in mind and were very conscientious in managing our budget and time constraints. The entire project came in on time (under six weeks!), and on budget and we could not be happier with the end result. We plan on using them again this spring to update the exterior and our garage... Thank you Alair!!”
Just Wright Renovation Experts Inc.
Builders in Nanaimo, BC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 October 2023
“Colin and his crew were fantastic! Our previous shower was only 6 years old, but had been poorly installed and caused a nasty leak that destroyed the shower as well as the flooring. Colin, Toshi and D worked quickly and efficiently, and the final result is absolutely beautiful. We absolutely recommend Colin for any project you have.”

Alair Homes Nanaimo
Builders in Nanaimo, BC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 November 2014
“We were very impressed with Alair Homes when they built our home in late 2014/early 2015. One thing we have found outstanding is the work done under their warranty over one year later. No item is too small for them to fix up so the customer is totally satisfied with the work they did. Things like paint touch ups, nail pops and a cabinet door being a little out of line were fixed quickly. We had a wood beam at the top of our entrance which had twisted and they replaced the center beam and supporting timbers and it looks better than when it was first done. In talking to some other people who have had homes built by some other builders they have certainly not had the same level of service that we've had after the home is built. We only had to send one email to get everything done, where our friends had to harrass the builder for months to get some things fixed. This is something very important which people should check out when they hire a company to build their home.”
MAC Renovations LTD.
Builders in Nanaimo, BC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 February 2013
“I have had Mac Renovations do several major projects on my house over the past four years, all of which have been of exceptional quality. The first big one was turning my unfinished basement into a two bedroom unit for my father, including kitchen and bathroom. They got it done on time and on budget. Mac has also overseen the painting of the exterior of my house, including managing several repairs needed during the painting process. Mac oversaw the new roof placed on my house as well, including undertaking repairs needed during the roofing process. In addition to these bigger projects, they've also handled some smaller jobs, such as my house's skylights, which started to show small signs of leaks after 20 years. They had someone here to measure and order the new skylights within hours, and they were installed within a week. They've also built exterior sheds on my property that are safe, secure and solid. I generally have left town during my renovation projects, and I have complete confidence that Mac will get my job done while I'm away. I trust them 100% with what is by far my greatest asset, my house.”

“We hired Westmark Construction to build a custom home for our family. We were very impressed with the quality of workmanship and the service from the entire company. We would not hesitate to recommend Westmark Construction and would build with them again if the opportunity presented itself.”

Builder FAQs
There are several reasons why you should hire a local builder in Nanaimo:
  1. Local builders will be familiar with your local authorities building regulations, being able to advise on any relevant permits you need before work can begin.
  2. Builders near you will be aware of the climate of your area, and can recommend materials and construction methods suitable for your area.
  3. Building firms nearby will provide quicker responses and quotes compared to contractors outside of your local area, as they are nearby, they will often drop in to talk to you about your project and view the property.

For home builders, you will usually receive a quote for a building project instead of daily rates or hourly fees. The cost depends on various factors such as the type of job, builders experience and length of the project.

Expect to pay less for a small maintenance job such as brickwork repair or an extension of an existing wall than a new build project such as a kitchen or bathroom renovation and home extensions. After you’ve found a local builder for your project, speaking with them in detail about your project will help them give you an accurate estimate for the work required.
If you hire a home builder for a lengthy project, such as an extension, your builder may charge a daily rate. You can expect to pay around £350 per day for this. If your builder charges this way, ask for an estimation of how long this will take so you know roughly how much the total cost will be.

Compile a shortlist of at least three builders in Nanaimo that can handle the full scope of works, either by themselves or through sub-contracting. It is often a good idea to play devils advocate and ask what the builder will not be responsible for. Be wary of unusually cheap quotes. Ask for references and stories about how the builder has met different challenges along the way. If you can, you could try to see previous projects and talk to previous clients, or if not, read reviews, recommendations and ratings, and look at detailed photos of projects. All of which you can find on Houzz.
