Our projects are made possible by a vast network of collaborators who treat their craft like an art form — partners who obsess over the details and continually push the work to a higher level.

Broadwell is a fine architectural metal fabricator, working with all metals and all methods. From their home base in Rock Bay, they craft highly detailed metal work for projects all over the PNW for an enviable list of architects and designers. We are proud to have been one of their early clients and whenever possible we still find ways to push each other's craft and execution to new heights.

We don’t always get a say in the engineers, but when our clients need a straightforward, budget-conscious and builder-friendly engineer we recommend Farhill. They collaborate with us when we have problems to solve, and are still living in a world where engineering is in the service of building, not the other way around.

Not all trades are created equal. Atech has been our go-to plumber for 10 years. They have first right of refusal on every project we do, no matter where the site is, because they are just that good at their trade. They are skilled, fair, honest, knowledgeable, and above all else, they give a sh*t about doing the best job they can on work that no one will ever see.

South Shore is a multi-generational, family-owned and operated custom millwork business. There is no challenge we have thrown at them that they have refused. Whatever the needs of the project are, they will work with us to figure out how to achieve the architectural vision.

Oakridge is who we call when the architects want a 10’ tall by 6’ wide front door that has zero tolerances or margins for error. We ask them to do hard things, they say Yes.

We have leaned on Capital City for heat pump systems, and for integrated heating controls on every project for 10 years for a reason. They are experts in their field, which is not an easy world to understand, with high efficiency technology that’s constantly changing and improving. They are the go-to trade for HVAC in Victoria. We are lucky to have them in our speed dial.

Solos will lift very heavy, and very delicate things that barely fit, into areas that it doesn’t seem like they should be able to. That’s all you need to know about how good they are at their work.

Coastal Roofing is a small, dedicated team of sheet metal craftsman, who for some reason, really like the challenge of bending something rigid and difficult into crisp, clean, origami like details. It’s a perplexing artform, that requires people who don’t mind cuts and scrapes and obsessing over millimetres everyday. They have never balked at the complicated metal components we ask them to execute.

We picked Pillar Labs to design this website. They listened to our input, took our concerns to heart, and weren’t afraid to take the reigns and make the project their own. Hopefully the proof is that you like this website.

Crimson Studio has taken our ideas and slogans (Death Before Cookie Cutter) and brought them to life to help reinforce our belief that brands should be fun. Our gear has gotten 10X more memorable since we started asking them to turn our minimalist brand into one-off merch runs for our staff and friends. Hire them. They are awesome.

Matrix sources and fabricates products from its own quarries on Vancouver Island. The colours of Vancouver Island Marble make sense in this landscape because it is where they come from and belong.

Siding, trim, profiles, staining, you name it; when we need wood materials delivered to site and ready to be installed as per architectural specs, they deliver it beyond expectations from their facility in Chemainus.

A good subtrade knows their trade inside out. Does what they say they will. Shows up when they tell you. Doesn’t act like the only trade that matters, and makes suggestions that improve the project in some way for the people who are going to occupy it. Pardell does all of those things and more, consistently.

Minimalism can be so crisp it might hurt you if you aren’t nice to it. Splyce can design that level of crispness. Every intersection, material, connection and relationship is considered and thoughtful. Modernism like this draws people to it.

When we needed a plumbing company that would take on a large project, on a remote island site, that needed extra layers of care and attention to products and processes, Solid Plumbing rose to the challenge and proved to be more than capable; they were excellent.
