      Out with the old, and in with the new.

      That’s the story at our latest project, a complete teardown of an existing lakefront family cabin followed by construction of a brand new custom home.

      Our clients, who are currently living and working in the USA, have hired us to build this beautiful craftsman-styled walkout on their property. They’ve selected an American plan that has been tweaked to meet the BC Building Code and our local building practices. It’s a lot of home on a small footprint, with 1254 square feet on each of the two levels.

      The project is not without its challenges: fitting the new house onto the relatively small lot, allowing for lake views while providing vehicle access up a steep driveway and future RV parking, and designing the septic system for gravity feed below the basement on the lake side between the house and Riparian setback.

      Most of the challenges are already overcome. We have received the regional district’s Lake Development Permit necessary for construction, and we also have an approved septic design and location. As soon as we receive our building permit confirmation, we’ll be getting down to the business of excavation and forming the foundation.

      Watch for more updates on this exciting project throughout the fall and winter.
