Architectural literacy across Southern Vancouver Island

Trained in building envelope assessment and residential appraisal, the practice was founded to provide buyers and sellers with objective property diagnostics before contracts are drafted. Every assessment begins below grade with perimeter drains, foundation settlement, and unpermitted alterations.

Whether assessing a 1912 Rockland Arts and Crafts residence or reviewing five years of strata contingency reserves in James Bay, advice remains strictly decoupled from commissions.

Three distinct enclaves

Oak Bay Uplands

Specialized review of municipal heritage covenants, mature Garry oak protection bylaws, and stone masonry foundations typical of pre-war parcels.

Fairfield & Cook Street

Analyzing turn-of-the-century character conversions, perimeter drain performance, and quiet proximity to Dallas Road waterfront paths.

Inner Harbour & Downtown

Meticulous review of depreciation reports, building envelope remediation histories, and upcoming maintenance schedules for steel and concrete residences.

We were guided away from two tempting properties after thorough basement moisture and drainage reviews. That level of technical restraint is extraordinarily rare in real estate.
