Built on Structure, Precision, and Accountability

StudioBuild Design + Build was founded by Caleb Stapelmann to offer a better construction experience for Lower Mainland homeowners. Caleb built the company around a simple standard: do the work properly the first time, and stand behind every decision. With roots in German craftsmanship values, StudioBuild is known for precision, structure, and reliability on every project, from custom decks and major renovations to full custom homes. Clients work with a team that plans carefully, communicates clearly, and keeps sites clean and organized. We take on fewer projects so each one gets the attention it deserves. The result is high-quality work, predictable execution, and a build process that feels calm, transparent, and professionally managed from first meeting to final handover.

StudioBuild Design + Build was created to solve a common problem in residential construction: too much uncertainty, not enough accountability.

Founder Caleb Stapelmann built StudioBuild around a standard that is straightforward but often missing in the market. Plan thoroughly. Communicate clearly. Build properly. Finish strong. The goal is not to take on the highest number of projects. The goal is to deliver a smaller number of projects at a higher standard, with direct leadership and consistent execution.

Caleb's background and German roots shaped the way StudioBuild operates. Precision matters. Structure matters. Reliability matters. Those values are not branding language only. They are built into day-to-day process, from first site visit through design, budgeting, permitting, construction, and handover.

At StudioBuild, design and construction are treated as one connected system. Buildability is discussed early. Material choices are tested against budget and long-term performance. Scope is clarified before build starts. Risks are identified and addressed in planning instead of discovered mid-project. This approach helps clients avoid the chaos that often comes from fragmented teams and unclear expectations.

Caleb remains hands-on throughout each project. Clients are not passed from a sales rep to a disconnected production team. Decisions are made with full context, and responsibility stays clear. If an issue arises, StudioBuild addresses it directly, quickly, and transparently.

StudioBuild is trusted across Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Port Moody, Surrey, Richmond, and Langley for custom decks and outdoor spaces, renovations, full custom homes, design + build services, and project management with permitting support. The team is known for organized sites, professional conduct, and respect for the home environment.

Communication is structured. Clients receive clear updates, milestone reviews, and direct explanations of options and tradeoffs. Budget and timeline discussions are handled early and honestly. If a change is needed, it is documented and managed with clarity so clients can make decisions with confidence.

StudioBuild exists for homeowners and property owners who care about quality, predictability, and professionalism. If that is your standard, this is the right team to build with.
