Frequently Asked Questions

Steel frame construction offers several advantages over wood frame construction, especially in the context of Lane One Homes. Firstly, steel is stronger and more durable than wood, providing better structural integrity and resistance to fire, pests, and weather damage. This ensures that homes built with steel frames have a longer lifespan and require less maintenance over time. Additionally, steel is a more sustainable and environmentally friendly material, as it is often made from recycled content and can be recycled at the end of its lifecycle. This aligns with Lane One Homes' commitment to sustainability and eco-conscious building practices. Moreover, steel allows for more flexibility in architectural design and allows for larger, open interior spaces without requiring load-bearing walls, offering customers more customization options for their homes. Ultimately, the use of steel in construction by Lane One Homes reflects their dedication to delivering high-quality, long-lasting, and environmentally responsible homes to their clients.

At Lane One Homes, we prioritize functionality, efficiency, and modern aesthetics in our home designs. While peaked roofs are a traditional feature in many homes, we have found that flat or low-sloped roofs not only provide a sleek and contemporary look, but also offer practical benefits. Flat roofs can accommodate rooftop solar panels more effectively, which aligns with our commitment to sustainable and eco-friendly building practices. Additionally, flat roofs can create additional usable outdoor space, such as rooftop gardens or lounges, adding value and versatility to the home design. By opting for flat or low-sloped roofs, we are able to offer our clients innovative, energy-efficient, and stylish homes that reflect the evolving needs and preferences of modern homeowners.

Yes, Lane One Homes' products are built to meet or exceed BC Building Code standards. In British Columbia, construction must comply with the BC Building Code, which sets out the minimum requirements for construction, design, and safety. Lane One Homes, like any reputable builder, is required to follow these regulations to ensure that their homes are safe, energy-efficient, and structurally sound. If you have any specific concerns about compliance with the building code or would like more detailed information on their building practices, it's always a good idea to contact Lane One Homes directly or review any available documentation regarding the construction process.

Lane One Homes navigates municipal zoning and bylaws by working closely with local municipalities and planning authorities to ensure that their developments are fully compliant with zoning regulations, land use bylaws, and other relevant local policies. This process typically involves several key steps: 1. Research and Due Diligence: Before acquiring land or starting a new project, Lane One Homes conducts thorough research to understand the specific zoning regulations for the property in question. This includes understanding the allowable land uses, building height restrictions, setback requirements, density limits, parking requirements, and any other relevant municipal rules that apply to the area. 2. Engagement with Municipal Authorities: Lane One Homes works directly with municipal planners and building departments to ensure that the proposed project aligns with local zoning bylaws. This may include submitting development applications, seeking zoning variances (if necessary), and obtaining building permits. 3. Permitting and Approvals: Once a project is designed in accordance with zoning and bylaws, Lane One Homes submits the necessary plans and documentation for municipal review. This typically includes architectural plans, engineering reports, and any other information required by the municipality. The project is then reviewed by local planning staff and may go before municipal council or a zoning board for final approval. 4. Compliance with Building Codes: In addition to zoning and land use considerations, Lane One Homes ensures that their developments comply with the BC Building Code and any additional local building requirements.
