Portfolio Case Study

North Vancouver Slope-Lot Custom Home

North Vancouver | Custom Home Build | 16 months from pre-construction to handover

A ground-up custom home delivered with envelope-first planning, phased trade sequencing, and precision interior fit-off.

Before

The site presented slope access constraints, runoff management risk, and sequencing complexity between structural and envelope trades.

After

The finished home delivered durable coastal detailing, consistent interior finish quality, and a disciplined turnover process.

Scope and Timeline

  • Pre-construction planning with municipal coordination
  • Foundation, framing, and envelope package
  • Interior systems, millwork, and finish execution
  • Quality checks at each milestone and handover documentation

Materials Used

  • High-performance cladding and moisture-control assembly
  • Engineered structural framing package
  • Custom interior millwork and metal detailing
  • Premium flooring and stone finish systems

Key Design Decisions

  • Envelope performance targets were prioritized before interior selections.
  • Mechanical and lighting coordination was resolved during framing stage.
  • Finish specifications were selected for durability in high-use zones.

Craftsmanship Focus

  • Tight envelope sequencing around penetrations and transitions
  • Consistent trim alignment across window and door packages
  • Measured tolerance control at stair, millwork, and flooring interfaces

The project closed with predictable handover, reduced post-completion deficiencies, and high finish consistency throughout the home.
