Our Services
The Process
-
Initial Consultation
We begin the process by meeting with our clients to understand their project plans and needs.
-
Comprehensive Property Analysis
This process is inclusive of: neighbourhood analysis, topography analysis, view potentials, and zoning and bylaw reviews in order to define the potentials and the constraints of the site to facilitate and effectively add verifiable value to the architectural design process.
-
Architectural Design
Relying on our years of experience collaborating with different architectural firms and designers we work with our clients to choose an architectural firm and/or designer suitable to their needs, vision, and budget. Value engineering will be at the forefront of our efforts to achieve a fine-tuned design while implementing proactive planning to ensure a smooth construction process.
-
Engineering
Required consultants will be recommended to the client to be hired on to facilitate the engineering process. Such consultants may include: land surveyor, geotechnical engineer, structural engineer, mechanical engineer, electrical engineer, sprinkler engineer, building envelope consultant, and a certified energy advisor.
-
BIM & VDC
Through the use of (BIM) Building Information Modelling, we are able to implement Virtual Design and Construction (VDC). Prior to starting construction, we can virtually build all components of the building in 3D to verify and detect clashes, and issues of constructability, allowing us to solve issues prior to them occurring onsite. Clients are also able to take virtual tours of their homes prior to construction empowering informative decisions in the design process, which reduces costly changes and delays during construction.
-
Construction Planning and Budgeting
Although the construction planning and budgeting would be an ongoing process from the beginning, at this stage we will have the architectural drawings, engineering drawings, and specifications which will allow us to complete the construction schedule and provide a final estimate for the project.
-
Construction
The construction phase is an exciting part of the project as we bring life to the design and the planning processes. Throughout the construction phase, we will make sure to keep our client up to date on the key activities onsite and will provide our client with timely progress reports.
-
Warranty
As a Licensed Residential Builder, under the regulations of BC Housing, through a third party home warranty provider, Pacific Home Warranty, the following warranty is provided for all our projects: 2 years warranty on labor and materials, 5 years on the building envelope, including water penetration, and 10 years on the structure.
