Meet Dan Moscone: A Lifetime of Building Excellence
From Apprentice to Master Builder
Dan's journey in construction began at 15, sweeping job sites after school. By 19, he was running his own framing crew. Today, after 50+ years building custom homes across Vancouver's Lower Mainland, Dan has mastered every aspect of construction—from foundation to finish.

When you choose Moscone Developments, you're not just hiring a builder—you're partnering with a master craftsman and his proven team who've perfected their process over four decades.
Your Vision, Our Proven Process
Our Process Starts with Understanding You
Discovery Meeting
We begin every project with a relaxed conversation over coffee. What's your vision? What are your must-haves versus nice-to-haves? We listen carefully to understand not just what you want, but how you actually live.
Site Analysis & Planning
Your lot tells us a lot about your home's potential. We analyze topography, orientation, and views to create floor plans that work with your land, not against it. Whether you need space for aging in place, a rental suite, or outdoor entertaining, we design around your specific needs.
Design & Finishes
Every detail matters. We guide you through finish selections room by room - from structural elements like crown molding and flooring to personal touches like lighting and smart home features. Our goal is creating spaces that feel authentically yours.
Our Transparent Pricing Approach
When planning your custom home build, understanding construction pricing models helps you make informed decisions about your investment. We offer three transparent approaches to fit different homeowner preferences and budgets.
Fixed-Price Construction
(Set Price Model)
Best for: Budget-conscious homeowners who want cost certainty
With fixed-price custom home construction, you'll know your total investment upfront. This premium pricing model provides complete budget predictability, eliminating surprises during your home building journey. While fixed-price construction typically costs more initially, many homeowners value the peace of mind that comes with locked-in pricing.
Key Benefits:
Guaranteed final cost with no budget overruns
Simplified financial planning for your custom home
Protection from material cost fluctuations
Cost-Plus Construction
Best for: Homeowners seeking maximum customization flexibility
Traditional cost-plus home building covers actual construction costs plus our builder fee. However, this model can lead to budget uncertainty as material prices fluctuate due to market conditions and supply chain changes. Cost-plus projects often extend beyond planned timelines, potentially turning your 12-month custom home build into a 24-month process.
Considerations:
Total costs can increase with material price changes
Extended construction timelines are common
Less predictable final investment amount
Monthly Management Model
(Recommended Approach)
Best for: Most custom home clients seeking balanced value and service
Our preferred monthly management model combines the best aspects of custom home construction pricing. You pay a fixed monthly fee while we handle every detail of your home building project. This approach keeps your custom home construction on schedule while providing cost predictability.
Key Benefits:
Fixed monthly fee regardless of material cost fluctuations
Professional project management throughout construction
Upgrade flexibility without automatic fee increases
Maintains original timeline commitments
After 50+ years of building dream homes, Dan knows that the best projects start with great conversations. Let's talk about what you're envisioning.
