Homebuilders Association Vancouver\u0027s CEO Ron Rapp takes a look at what issues to consider when upgrading outdoor areas. Find out more.
Professionals will create a plan to balance spaces from the inside out, ensuring flow, consideration of the home’s architecture, integration of structural elements, and material choices while accounting for timing, sequence, the environment, maintenance, and overall costs. The same way we apportion space within a home to serve our needs and lifestyles, when, we also need to consider how and what it will be used for and the relationship to adjacent indoor spaces.
Permits are also required to protect or remove trees. Just because a tree is on your property does not give you the right to cut it down. Speaking with HAVAN member Victor Kulla of, he points out that existing or newly planted trees play a critical role in the design and feel of our outdoor spaces. Placed in the right location, even a single tree can provide privacy and shade, reducing the surrounding temperature by a few degrees.
In addition to these considerations, driveways, utility lines above and below ground, stormwater management systems, existing structures, trees and their root systems impact how builders can efficiently and effectively undertake construction and move around the site with new builds or major renovations.
