I am frequently asked for a portfolio of my work...being good with my hands I have not always made it a priority, however looking back - my 20+ years of Contracting does provide a good representation of my accomplishments. Here are a few examples, of some projects that are close to my heart.
.33 acres on Esquimalt Harbour Waterfront
This project required subdivision and several variance permits to allow construction of a 1100sq ft "Carriage House". A building designed to be resided in, with all the bones to later become a double garage with upper loft. Designed by my wife and myself, and Zebra Design.

Vic West Duplex
This project was a labor of love. The property, belonging to the City of Victoria as an old piece of road, required lots of paperwork. It was a great opportunity for a unique structure which was close to town, had views of the Gorge Waterway, and as a duplex - expelled all traditional methods and design.
Vic West Duplex - Unit A & B
Surfwood Supply (Commercial Construction)
A one level commercial structure in the Western Communities.
Beach Drive - Care Award Winning Home (Silver)
While not a descriptive photo, my portfolio wouldn't be complete without including a photo of my first award winning build.

Glenview Animal Hospital
A multi-unit building, constructed on pilings to mitigate environmental concerns stemming from a bog-like soil quality and nearby stream.
View Royal Condo Building & Show Suite
This building was designed both myself and Misra Architects of Victoria B.C. The main initiative of this project being Land Development, the parcel was later sold to a Vancouver development company based on my design, as well as my construction of the free standing show suite.

I enjoy taking an active part in the design process, in some cases using my own vision and creativity, and in others, interpreting the owners to ensure a custom build. In any case, I always ensure quality and satisfaction.
Thanks for looking,
Doug
