Consultation & Feasibility
Bylaw and zoning review against your intended scope. Structural and construction feasibility. We tell you what's possible — and what isn't — before you commit a dollar to drawings.

Buildings, designed
and engineered —
under one roof.
Mavericks BC is a Victoria building design firm with structural engineering in-house. We move custom homes, renovations and complex permits through the city with rigour — and stamp the engineering ourselves, so nothing falls between the cracks.

The Mavericks difference
Not interior design. Not just renderings.
Technical building design, engineered from the start.
Most renovation and custom-home projects stall in the same place — somewhere between a homeowner's vision, a designer's drawing, and the city's permit reviewer. Mavericks BC was built to keep that from happening to you.
We pair senior building designers with licensed structural engineers in the same firm. The drawings that leave our office are coordinated, code-aware, and stamped — ready for the city to review. No three-firm relay race. No surprises at framing.
That's the edge: a building designer who already knows where the load paths are, working beside a P.Eng who already knows what the design wants to do. Fewer revisions. Cleaner permits. Buildings that go up the way they were drawn.
Engineering on its own is just as welcome. Builders, designers and architects engage our P.Eng team as a standalone consultant — drawings we didn't draft, calcs against your scope, stamps on what we sign off.

Project Management & Permits
We act as your agent with the city — re-zoning, variances, development permits, and the conversations in between. PMP-led. You stay focused on your build; we navigate the paperwork.
Talk to usPre-designed stock plans
Thirteen ready-to-adapt plans, from $2,000.
Single-family homes, a duplex and two fourplexes — designed for BC bylaws by the same designers and engineers. The design work is done; we fit the plan to your lot (site plan, zoning data table, lot-specific engineering) so it's ready to submit. Starting from a stock plan saves two to four months of design time on average.

Built around your priorities.
For Builders
Your timeline is the timeline.
We know your schedule is everything. We work to your priorities and adjust ours to suit — including last-minute structural calls from site and rapid-turn detail packages when the framing crew is waiting.
Partner with us→For Homeowners
We work with your house, not against it.
Before you commit to a costly renovation, let us look at what your structure is already telling us. We'll show you the ideas that work — safely, cost-effectively, and without ripping out walls that didn't need to come out.
Plan a renovation→For Designers & Architects
Structural engineering, on its own.
Engage our P.Eng team as a standalone consultant — at concept, at permit, or anywhere in between. We stamp drawings produced by others, run calcs against your design intent, and stay out of the way of your client relationship.

A clear path from idea to occupancy.
Step 01
Scope & Estimate
You reach out, we listen. Every project is different, so we start with a conversation — your goals, the property, the budget — and put a clear fee proposal in writing before any work begins.
Step 02
Concept
Preliminary design: 3D massing, layout options, and structural feasibility. You see — and approve — the building's intent before we invest in the detail work.
Step 03
Permit
Detailed drawings, structural calcs stamped in-house, full permit submission. We handle the city — RFIs, revisions, and the back-and-forth — and hand you a permit in hand.
Step 04
Build Support
Optional, and usually wanted. We stay engaged through construction — site visits, framing reviews, change orders, and the small structural calls that come up mid-build.
