Work with Dawar

Build it yourself,
or bring in the right
builder.

Dawar was the first homeowner in Port Moody to move a multiplex application forward. Whether you want to develop your own lot or partner with a builder who'll pay top dollar for it, he'll give you a straight read on your options.

Every engagement starts the same way: your site, your numbers, and a clear answer — build, partner, or hold.

Two ways to work together

Your lot, your terms

Some homeowners want to build it themselves. Others want a developer to buy or co-develop the property. Dawar works both sides — here's how.

Track 1 · Consulting

You build it. Dawar guides you.

You keep full ownership of your property and project. Dawar walks you through the SSMUH rules, the City approval process, and the financial picture — so you can hire your own team and build with confidence.

  • Full zoning and setback review for your lot
  • Rough pro forma: costs, rental income, ROI
  • Step-by-step City permit roadmap
  • Architect, contractor, and mortgage broker referrals
  • Ongoing check-ins as your project moves forward

Track 2 · Co-Development

A developer pays for your lot's potential.

Think a developer would pay more for your property now that it can hold 4–6 units? You're probably right. Dawar works with vetted builders and developers who are actively looking for SSMUH-eligible lots in Port Moody.

  • Free lot valuation based on development potential
  • Introduction to trusted, active developers
  • Deal structuring: outright sale, JV, or equity share
  • Dawar represents your interests throughout
  • You benefit from the upzoning without lifting a hammer

What a consulting session covers

Everything you need
to make a real decision

Not a sales pitch. A working session where we go through your specific lot, your timeline, and your options.

01

Site & zoning review

What's allowed on your specific lot under the new rules — setbacks, height, units, parking.

02

Rough financial picture

Construction cost ranges, rental income potential, financing options, and what the numbers look like on paper.

03

Team & process clarity

Who you need (architect, contractor, mortgage broker), in what order, and what each step actually costs.

04

City approval process

What the permit path looks like for your scenario — timelines, submissions, and who to call at the City.

05

Co-development options

If you'd rather partner with a builder or sell at development value, we'll map out what that looks like and whether it fits your goals.

06

Build, partner, or hold

A clear recommendation based on your situation — not a generic answer, but what makes sense for your lot and your life.

Is this right for me?

Good fit & not a fit

Good fit — book a call if you are:

  • A Port Moody homeowner curious about what your lot can do
  • Someone who wants to house family on the same property
  • An investor looking at Port Moody lots specifically
  • A homeowner who thinks a developer might pay more for their lot
  • Ready to take a real step but don't know where to start
  • Someone who's tried to research this and hit dead ends

Probably not a fit — if you are:

  • Looking for a large-scale commercial developer
  • Looking for someone to manage construction end to end
  • Not willing to have an honest conversation about risk and timeline
  • Looking for generic advice without a clear plan of action
How it works

From first contact
to clear next steps

01

Request a free feasibility study

Fill out the short form — address, goals, any questions. Dawar reviews your lot before the call so you're not spending time on basics.

02

30-min discovery call

A conversation about what's possible on your site. No prep needed. Just show up with your questions.

03

Deep-dive consulting session (optional)

For homeowners who want to go further — a full working session covering zoning, finances, team, and a clear go/no-go recommendation.

04

You leave with a real plan

Not a vague "here are your options." A specific answer: what to do next, who to call, and what it will cost to find out if this is real.

Why work with Dawar

Not just a consultant.
The person who did it first.

Zada Group · Real Estate

Dawar is a licensed realtor with the Zada Group, one of the Tri-Cities' most active real estate teams. He brings deep local market knowledge — not just zoning theory, but what properties actually sell for, what developers are willing to pay, and which lots have the most upside under the new rules.

Direct access to City leadership

When Port Moody adopted its SSMUH zoning changes, Dawar didn't wait for a brochure. He sat down with City department heads and planning staff — the people who wrote the rules — to understand exactly how they'd be interpreted and enforced. That means he knows the difference between what the bylaw says and what actually gets approved.

Specialized SSMUH training

Dawar invested in professional development coursework specifically focused on small-scale multi-unit housing — construction, financing, feasibility, and the regulatory landscape. This wasn't a weekend webinar. It was a rigorous, specialized program designed for professionals advising on exactly this type of development.
