How we write this

Prices, home types, unit counts and completion dates come from our own database of BC presale and new-construction projects — the same records behind every project page on this site. They are sourced from developers' own material: sales sites, price sheets, brochures, floor plans and disclosure documents.

Nothing on a news page is estimated or modelled. If a figure isn't in the data, the piece doesn't claim it.

Every figure in a news piece is checked against the live database before the piece is published, and re-checked automatically after that. When a project's price, status or completion date moves, the pieces that quoted the old number are flagged and rewritten — or taken down.

Guides work differently, because they explain law and tax rather than listings. Their facts are cited to primary sources — the Canada Revenue Agency, the Government of BC, BC Laws, BCFSA — and are re-verified against those sources on a weekly schedule. Each guide shows the date its facts were last confirmed.

News pieces are published under the Newbuildname rather than a person's. That is deliberate: they are generated from our project data with AI assistance and checked mechanically against that data, and we won't put an individual's byline on something they didn't personally write.

The buyer guides are different — they are reviewed by Jerry (Chih Chi) Huang, a licensed BC REALTOR® (eXp Realty, licence RE606264), and his review date is shown on each one.

We don't tell you whether to buy. We publish the inputs — prices, deposit structures, timelines, what the law says — and leave the judgment to you and your own advisors.

We don't describe a project or a developer as troubled, distressed or failing unless a public primary source says so, and when we do, we link it. And we don't publish realtor commission figures on consumer pages.

Developers can pay for placement on Newbuild. Anywhere that happens, it is labelled as paid — on the project card, on the project page, and inside any article that mentions it. Paid placement never changes a price, a ranking on a price-sorted list, or what a piece says.

If something here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — email info@getnewbuild.com. Developers and sales teams: if a page has your project's pricing or timeline wrong, that's the fastest way to reach the people who can change it.

When we correct a piece after publication, the correction is made in place and the page's updated date changes with it.
