Too Much Time Spent Building?

Too Much Time Spent Building & Not Enough Time Promoting?

I guess it’s a good problem to have but I have neglected to keep you all in the loop with what we’ve been doing lately.

I started going through all the projects we completed in 2013 and realized that I didn’t post any pictures (or very few) for the majority of them. Too busy building and not enough time promoting.

We are very close to releasing photo galleries for all 33 Project Buildings in 2013 but here is a sneak-peak of one of my favourites of the year.

Completed in the Spring for a very well know Restaurateur in West #Vancouver this build was a 12′ x 12′ Modern-Shed #PreFab #Workout Room complete with wrap around Trex Deck. Plus who can forget the outdoor shower!

Gulf Island Cabins:

Who wouldn’t want their own pair of Gulf Island Cabins?

A client came to us recently with a challenge. He wanted us to design and build two remote cabins on Galiano Island (on a relatively tight budget) to serve as a meeting place for friends and family to escape from the hustle and bustle of busy city life.

North Vancouver Storage Shed

North Vancouver Storage Shed

When we first got the call from this client we knew right away this would be an exciting project. 

My client had a plethora of garden implements, bikes, children’s toys and lawn chairs and needed a Storage Shed for his Lynn Valley house.

But not just any house, a house with a very distinct architect designed modern look and feel.

One of the challenges with Modern Design and Construction as that typically there is very little storage space included. We needed to design and build a storage shed that would complement and not look out-of-place.
