WHY US

Why Choose Our
Pre-Construction Services?

Pre-Construction is where clarity and confidence are built. As your Pre-Construction contractor in Nanaimo, we handle early decisions that set the tone for a smooth build.

STEPS

Our Pre-Construction Process

Phase 1: Discovery Call

Setting The Foundation

We take 15 minutes to listen to your goals, timeline, and budget. This ensures we’re the right fit for each other and sets the stage for a productive process.

Phase 2: Information & Site Review

Understanding Your Property

Every project has constraints; whether budget, bylaw, or design. By gathering surveys, permits, or property files early, we identify challenges before they become costly surprises.

Phase 3: First Meeting (On-Site/At Home)

Aligning Vision & Reality

Walking the property with you helps us connect your vision to the land or home itself. We discuss lifestyle needs, risks, and opportunities so your design truly reflects how you want to live.

Phase 4: Pre-Construction Agreement

Clarity Before Commitment

This agreement formalizes our work together to develop concepts, explore options, and build a realistic budget. It ensures you get expert guidance without rushing into construction blind.

Phase 5: Design, Drafting & Budget

Shaping Ideas Into Reality

We bring your ideas to life with concept drawings that consider zoning, performance goals, and cost drivers. At the same time, we review your design against your budget, apply value-engineering, and present clear options. This step blends creativity with practicality, ensuring your home is both inspiring and financially aligned before construction begins.

EDUCATION

Why Pre-Construction Planning Matter

A small decision on paper can save weeks on site. Pre-Construction planning reduces change orders, protects timelines, and supports quality. It ensures your design fits your land, your budget, and your long term goals for custom home building on Vancouver Island.

What Our Clients Say

We believe good work speaks for itself — but it means even more when our clients speak up too.

“After discovering rot behind the siding in one of the walls of our house, we felt fortunate to find Jordan and his team to work on repairs for us. They did a quality job, and communicated regularly to keep us up to date on progress. We would recommend Buck Robertson Contracting.”
