Including GST into the price of a brand new home is my new fav tactic when it comes to writing offers for new builds. Considering an average price of a brand new single detached home is around 2 mil in east van and the fact that you have bargaining power over the listing price, you might as well throw in GST so you don't have to budget GST into the closing costs. Just get the builder to pay for it if they really want to close the deal since brand new homes aren't flying off the shelf these days.
In the grand scheme of the builder's construction business (if they're building a lot of homes in the lower mainland), I think it should be peanuts on their end to absorb the GST considering the average cost of construction for a residential home is around 600k now?
