Build or renovate your home with a developer's team behind you.
BuildReady walks you through every step, from finding the lot to selling or moving in. Each step is a service we run for you. Take the whole path or only the steps you need.

Red Cedar has built 20 multiplex homes in Coquitlam and Burnaby, with 21 more in the pipeline. BuildReady packages the way we plan, tender and manage those builds into a step-by-step service for owners, so a first-time builder or renovator gets the same discipline a developer would.
One journey
Every project starts with the property and splits into two paths: renovate what you buy, or build new. Click any step below to see what we do for you.
Steps, each a service
Floor plans, scope, permits, bids, financing, site supervision, sales. Take the whole path or just the steps you need.
Trade packages
Every quote is built on the same 18 trade packages we use on site, so bids compare line by line and nothing is missed.

Behind it
Inside the RFQ platform
Where the bids, the contract and the trades live
The RFQ step appears on both paths. It is where the trades & labour platform runs: verified trades, bids compared on the same line items, and a contract that protects your money.
Trades & labour directory
18 trade packages plus design consultants and general labour. Dated badges for registration, licence, WorkSafeBC and insurance. Trades keep their own profiles and references up to date.
Project Passport
Your ownership, permit, drawings, funds and site readiness checked once. Trades see the badges, never your documents, so they take your RFQ seriously.
RFQ drafting and sending
A builder-grade RFQ for each package, sent to 3–5 bidders, with questions answered and replies chased for you.
Bid leveling
Every bid lined up on the same items, with gaps and exclusions flagged, and a recommendation you can act on.
Protected contract
Contract and change orders, document gates, 28-day payments, 10% holdback, title alerts and a fair dispute ladder.
Two-way records
Track records for trades and owners, built from how projects actually went, not from filings.
Three rules we keep
Financing plans go to your lender and escrow partner. Payments to trades run on the protected contract's schedule, with the holdback the law requires.
Designers, brokers, realtors and permit expediters work with you on the platform, where your documents already are, rather than pulling you off it.
Every skill behind BuildReady is one our own team runs on Red Cedar projects first. When it earns its place there, it joins the platform.
