Building the coast for over 40 years!

Our decades-long tradition as fine home builders spans back to 1937, the year Martin Andrew Spani moved to Vancouver and started his own construction company, Spani and Sons. His son, Richard, began working for the company at the tender age of 14 in 1943, and eventually took over the outfit until he retired in 1970.

Richard’s son, Doug Spani, grew up in the industry and after working alongside his father and uncles for several years, he ventured out and started his own company, Spani Developments, in 1978.

Doug built residential homes in Port Coquitlam for a number of years until he moved with his family to the Sunshine Coast in 1982. Since then, Spani Developments has built a strong reputation as a family-owned and operated company and completed hundreds of projects along the coast including public housing, medical building and facilities, commercial centres, property developments, off grid, eco-friendly homes, dream getaways and much more. Check out our portfolio to see some of our work.

Client Testimonials

We can't say enough about how excellent our experience was working with Spani on our renovation.


Each one of the Spani workers were professional, helpful and knowledgeable. They worked with us to creatively problem solve any changes that had to be made and considered our wishes and input. Each trade was as respectful to us/our home as each one of the Spani employees. The renovation was completed on time, on budget. Most of all, Spani employees and their trades are just good human beings who want to do an above average job to make their customers happy. This is the best renovation experience we have had and we have done many renos!!. We would recommend them to anyone - for renovations big and small. It was a pleasure and we are grateful we found them!!!

We recently completed a kitchen renovation with Spani Developments and couldn’t be happier with the results.


Larry was our project manager and he was truly outstanding. Like any major project, we hit a few unexpected bumps along the way, but Larry handled them flawlessly and with total professionalism, keeping everything on track. Brit and the rest of the team did excellent work and were a pleasure to have in our home. If you're looking for a team on the Coast that delivers high-quality work and handles challenges with ease, I highly recommend Spani.

EASY, ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE!


“We decided to work with Spani Developments on a renovation in our new home on the Sunshine Coast after learning about their reputation within the community. Larry Hunt ensured that we had a great experience throughout this process and delivered on everything we discussed. We were confident in Larry and the team due to their communication and reliability. Patrick was lovely to have around and went above and beyond for us. This really was an easy and even enjoyable experience, and I will absolutely recommend Spani to friends and family on the coast.”

A GREAT EXPERIENCE


“I just want to pass along my thanks for the great service we received from Spani Plumbing with our fireplace repairs. Darragh Workman, the Plumbing Manager at Spani Developments was so personable, efficient, meticulous and really knows his stuff. So good to deal with a company and a tradesman who care.”

QUALITY HOMES, BUILT WITH INTEGRITY


"As a licensed home inspector, I am in many homes - some old, some new. When I discuss the home with realtors, one constant comment is Well it's a SPANI home, so it goes without saying. Kudos to you for converting your commitment, integrity and skills into quality homes for the people of the Sunshine Coast."
Tom Pape Home Inspector

IMPECCABLE WORK


"My Mom and I would like to send a BIG thanks to Spani Developments for making her dream home. Before my Father passed away he always wanted my Mom to live in a safe, beautiful house for the rest of her years. Spani Developments made one of my Father's last wishes come true. They renovated her 1953 home and transformed it into a masterpiece. We can’t thank Larry Hunt enough for his kindness, creativity and guidance through this process. Larry and his team went above and beyond our greatest expectations. Warren and Brandon were an absolute pleasure to work with and did impeccable work. We strongly recommend Spani Developments for anyone looking to renovate or build a home on the Sunshine Coast."
