Goal: Develop a functional, aesthetically pleasing design that fits your budget and timeline.
What You Get: Detailed drawings, estimates, and a clearer picture of your future home’s look and feel.
3. Pre-Construction & Permitting
Before we break ground, there’s essential groundwork to complete—from securing permits to confirming final material selections. Whistler’s unique climate and local regulations can present challenges, but our experienced team knows how to navigate every requirement. By the time we’re finished with this stage, we’ll have a definitive roadmap for construction.

4. Construction & Craftsmanship
Now comes the exciting part. We’ll clear and prepare the site, pour foundations, frame the structure, and start bringing your vision to life—from framing walls to installing electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. Throughout the construction process, we keep you updated with regular progress reports and site visits.
Goal: Transform designs into a luxury Whistler home using top-tier materials and skilled craftsmanship.
What You Get: A detailed look at how your home evolves, step by step, with a trusted team ensuring quality at every turn.
5. Finishing Touches & Handover
The final stage is all about refining the details and giving your home the signature touches that make it truly yours. We’ll install appliances, finalize interior finishes, and complete any landscaping or outdoor living spaces. Once we’ve conducted our final inspections and walk-throughs, we hand you the keys.
Goal: Ensure every detail—right down to custom woodwork and high-end fixtures—meets your standards.
