The registry record

The licence records an address the geocoder could not match to a building, so the circle marks postal area V7T, not the company's door. The dots are other licensed builders pinned in the same postal area.
Before you hire
A licence in good standing answers one question: is this company allowed to build new homes in BC with warranty insurance. Everything else a homeowner needs sits outside the registry. These are the questions this record cannot answer for you, and where to get the answer.
Website
The registry records no website for Samsara Management Ltd. Ask for the company's website or a portfolio of finished homes, and for the address of a project you can drive past.
Insurance and WorkSafeBC
The registry does not record liability insurance or WorkSafeBC coverage. Ask for a certificate of insurance naming you, and a WorkSafeBC clearance letter dated within the last month.
Municipal business licence
BC Housing licensing is provincial. Each municipality issues its own business licence, so ask for the number in the municipality where your project sits.
Past work and references
The registry holds no project history, reviews or complaint records. Ask for three completed homes with owner contact details, and check BC Housing's New Homes Registry for homes this builder has enrolled in warranty.
The full checklist, with what a good answer sounds like, is in our guide to hiring a contractor in BC.
Samsara Management Ltd. holds these licence types. The explanation below comes from BC Housing's own pages and applies to every licence of the same type, so it is the same on every page that lists it.
May build new homes for other people
BC Housing defines a residential builder as "a person who engages in, arranges for or manages, all, or substantially all, of the construction of a new home". A General Contractor licence is the version of that licence held by a company that builds new homes under contract to the owner. Before a building permit for a new home is issued, the builder must hold this licence and must have arranged home warranty insurance for the home.
May build new homes it owns and then sell them
Under the Homeowner Protection Act a developer is a residential builder that sells its own ownership in a new home. That includes a company that owns the land, hires a general contractor to build on it, and sells the finished home. A Developer licence covers that role. Many companies hold both the Developer and General Contractor types, which lets them build new homes for clients and build homes to sell.
All new homes built by licensed residential builders in BC must have 2-5-10 home warranty insurance: two years on labour and materials, five years on the building envelope including water penetration, and ten years on the structure of the home. The insurance is provided by a warranty company approved by the BC Financial Services Authority, and the builder arranges it for each new home.
General contractors, developers and building envelope renovators must renew their residential builder licence every year to keep it in good standing. The expiry date on a record is the end of the current term. Only builders in good standing may call themselves Licensed Residential Builders.
The licence is about new homes. Ordinary renovation work in BC, such as a kitchen, a bathroom, a basement suite or a whole-home renovation that keeps most of the existing structure, does not require a BC Housing licence, and the registry says nothing about whether a company does that work or how well. BC Housing states that a standalone accessory dwelling unit, such as a garden suite or laneway home, meets the definition of a new home, so it must be built by a licensed residential builder with home warranty insurance. What to check when hiring a renovation contractor instead.
A homeowner can build a new home for their own use without a licensed builder by becoming an owner builder, which BC Housing authorizes case by case. Owner builders are exempt from licensing and third-party warranty insurance, and are personally liable for construction defects in the home for 10 years.

The registry shows an expiry date of October 31, 2026. Residential builder licences in BC are renewed every year, so a date in the future means the current term is paid up, and a builder who lets it lapse loses the right to build new homes until it is renewed.

The registry cannot answer that. The licence is about new homes. Ordinary renovation work in BC, such as a kitchen, a bathroom, a basement suite or a whole-home renovation that keeps most of the existing structure, does not require a BC Housing licence, and the registry says nothing about whether a company does that work or how well. BC Housing states that a standalone accessory dwelling unit, such as a garden suite or laneway home, meets the definition of a new home, so it must be built by a licensed residential builder with home warranty insurance. Ask the company directly, and ask for renovation references separate from its new-home references.
All new homes built by licensed residential builders in BC must have 2-5-10 home warranty insurance: two years on labour and materials, five years on the building envelope including water penetration, and ten years on the structure of the home. The insurance is provided by a warranty company approved by the BC Financial Services Authority, and the builder arranges it for each new home. The licence is the first half of that requirement; the warranty is enrolled home by home. To see whether a specific home built by Samsara Management Ltd. is enrolled, search the address on BC Housing's New Homes Registry.
The licence includes the General Contractor type, which is the licence a company needs to build a new home for a client. BC Housing states that a standalone accessory dwelling unit, such as a garden suite or laneway home, meets the definition of a new home under the Homeowner Protection Act, so it must be built by a licensed residential builder and covered by home warranty insurance. The registry does not say whether Samsara Management Ltd. builds laneway homes, so ask for finished examples.

When this copy was made on September 17, 2026, the licence had 44 days left in its current term, ending October 31, 2026. Licences are renewed every year and most renewals are routine, so an approaching date is normal. Check the live registry for the renewed term before you sign a contract.
