Our Process
Initial Consultation: Your Vision, Our Expertise
Start by reaching out to discuss your project. We’ll ask you about the timeline, location, scope, and your budget expectations. We gather as much information as we can through emails, photos, and phone conversations. Then, we provide a free preliminary estimate to make sure we're aligned with your budget and vision.
Pre-Construction Services: Navigating the Nitty-Gritty
Should you wish to proceed post-estimate or if an on-site visit is required for more details, we transition into our Pre-Construction Services phase. We're your partners every step of the way, offering expert advice to help you make informed decisions.
Our Pre-Construction Agreement covers:
Regulatory checks for any restrictions.
Site evaluation for specific design or construction limitations.
Discussion of your priorities and project parameters.
Timeline projections for both design (if needed) and construction.
Budget outlines for design and construction.
Collaborative concept sketches and design.
Detailed construction drawings and revisions.
BCIN review and permit-ready documentation (when necessary).
Subcontractor bids and construction scheduling.
A final, comprehensive quote.
Note: We charge $100/hour for activities associated with the Pre-Construction Agreement, including all travel time. Rates for drafting services may vary. Initial on-site consultation costs are refundable if you choose us for your construction project.
Building Contract: Putting It in Writing
Once we've tailored the project to meet your expectations, we formalize everything in a comprehensive contract. This includes the scope of work, timeline, warranty details, and a transparent breakdown of costs.
Construction: Where Dreams Meet Reality
This is the exciting part! We pride ourselves on maintaining a clean worksite and sticking to our timeline. We provide regular updates on progress and budget, collaborating with you on any tweaks or changes you’d like to see.
Because how the work gets done is just as important as the work itself.

““We hired Sean & Dave to build us a screen porch addition to our family cottage, as well as replace an old shed with a shed/sleep bunkie combination. Sean was really helpful with the design of the shed in maximizing the space we had without having to lose any trees in the surrounding forest.
The LBC team that was onsite for most of May and June were a pleasure to have around. The new porch is a gorgeous addition to our family’s cottage and the extra sleep space allowed us to invite other families up to the lake which was always difficult in the past.
The guys were extremely courteous, respectful and the quality of the work was most impressive. All of our neighbours commented on the work that was done and appreciated the considerations taken on our small lake. We’re already lining up more work for next summer.””
