Design. Build. Renovate.

No matter what scale or style your renovation or home building project requires, David Coulson and his design/build team can provide you with answers. We are equally experienced in new- home construction and renovations and see both as an opportunity to create homes that fullfil our clients wishes. We'll listen to your needs and desires and build the home of your dreams. Whether it is an extensive kitchen renovation, new master bathroom or a complete home renovation, our approach is the same, we listen, take time to design the best option and build with care. As custom home builders, we believe in making your home a reflection of your personal tastes and family culture, every home we build is unique.

Building Homes on Vancouver Island for over 20 Years

Our family-run company has been working to bring innovative home designs and affordable building options to clients throughout Southern Vancouver Island. You'll see our work from Victoria to Campbell River. We are located near Duncan and have worked in the Cowichan Valley for years. Chemainus, Lake Cowichan, Cobble Hill, Saltair, Nanoose Bay, Naniamo, Shawnigan Lake, Mill Bay and Maple Bay are all easily within our service area. Our understanding of the West Coast building requirements means we can recommend best practices for materials and building processes for your new home or renovation.

We've completed projects as small as a custom garden shed and as large as a 6-suite luxury bed and breakfast. Close one-on-one contact from concept to completion is an attribute of David Coulson Design valued by our past clients. Custom carpentry and eco-friendly materials and methods are our signature. We believe that both can be delivered to homeowners at a reasonable price, because that is what we would want if our positions were reversed. Affordable construction is possible through careful planning and good building practices. As home builders, we believe the best homes are not just beautiful but functional as well.

If you'd like to find out what we can do for your home renovation or building project, please contact us and we'll sit down with you and talk over the process, discuss objectives, time lines and budgets.

One of the most requested projects these days is kitchen renovations. Standards have changed along with budgets and tastes. Before starting your next kitchen or bathroom renovation, talk to us and we'll show you how to maximize your renovation budget.

And, finally, we have a firm commitment to eco-construction, using recycled and low-impact materials whenever possible. We have experience working with zero VOC paints and finishes, installing radiant and solar heating systems, setting up heat recovery ventilators, thermo proofing, sourcing the most high-performance insulation materials, and advising our clients on how to make their homes even more energy efficient through the strategic placement of window coverings and green screens. The choice of how 'eco' to go with your home is entirely up to you.
