How It Works

Our build process

01
Pre-Construction

Permit & Mobilisation

Building permit coordination, site setup, temporary services, and material scheduling. We do not break ground until drawings are approved, materials are on order, and the site is ready to run efficiently.

2 to 6 weeks depending on permit timeline
02
Structure

Foundation & Frame

Foundation tie-in or new slab preparation, followed by structural framing to engineer-stamped drawings. Each framing inspection is completed before the next phase begins — no skipping steps on the coast.

2 to 6 weeks
03
Weathertight

Roof & Wrap

Roofing system and building wrap installed to get the structure weathertight as fast as possible. On the North Vancouver Island coast, weather windows matter — we move from frame to dry-in with urgency and precision.

1 to 3 weeks
04
Envelope

Windows, Doors & Cladding

Window and door installation with full air sealing and flashing, followed by cladding and rainscreen. Every penetration is detailed before cladding goes on — there are no shortcuts on a coastal envelope.

2 to 5 weeks
05
Completion

Inspection & Handover

Final building inspection, deficiency walkthrough, and envelope performance verification. We hand over a building that is dry, tight, and ready for interior finishing — with documentation of every detail.
