Why do you do what you do?

We are passionate and excited about good development in well-established neighbourhoods like Esquimalt, Victoria and Saanich. We enjoy building homes that attract families and people who want to live close to where they work and play and enjoy the community where they live.

We love creating spaces that people love to live in and love to live around, and we want to keep doing it for a long time.

What types of projects do you do?

We're open to a lot of different projects, but right now, we like multi-family developments and creating more homes for people in the same amount of space.

Young families and many professionals have told us that they like the idea of smaller yards and shared responsibilities, as they seek to create community with their neighbours.

We like this market and think that we need more of it.

Would you help me with my project?

Absolutely. Even if you're just looking for ideas, owner Ryan Jabs is always happy to discuss a potential development project.

What does Lapis Homes mean?

Lapis is latin for "stone" or for "milestone." There are many milestones along the way in any development project, so we felt the name fit well with what we do.

You may be more familiar with the lapis lazuli stone. We were too, and really loved the rich blue patterns in that rock. The added bonus? With a stone like that, it isn't too hard for our graphic designers to be inspired.

What projects are you working on now?

We have a couple of projects in the design and development phase, and a 10-unit townhouse that's under construction and being sold by LIDA Homes.

Have a look at our current projects tab to find out more info on what we're working on. You can even reach out and tell us your thoughts about a project that we're rezoning. We love to hear any idea.

Do you have anything for sale?

The 10-home townhouse that we developed on Lampson and Colville is being built and sold by LIDA Homes. We'll update our project page (here), when LIDA begins selling.

We're also hoping to start construction on 937 Colville in the Fall of 2019 or winter 2020. We'll provide more information here when we begin selling these homes.

What kinds of finishings do you use?

We build for families, retirees and working professionals (So, nearly everyone!) and use quality finishings like hardwood, stainless appliances and quartz countertops.

We are proud of our projects and love to live in what we build. This is a principle we carry with us in every part of our design and development process. If we wouldn't want to live in it, we wouldn't build it.

Check out our photo gallery of our Five Two One Foster project to get an idea of how we build.

If I bought while under construction, could I pick my own finishings?

Definitely. If you get in early enough, we'll give you a couple of options to finish out your home.

What warranty do you offer?

Lapis Homes works with quality builders in Victoria that provide full two-five and 10 year warranties.

Our reputation is only as good as the last time we talked with you. So we want to make sure you remain completely satisfied. Buyers can be assured that if any issues pop-up they will be addressed right away.
