Built with Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), the home achieved a blower door test of 0.5 ACH - a super airtight result, better than Passive House standards (0.6) that helps maximize energy efficiency.

We installed a complex board and batten siding pattern using locally sourced, untreated yellow cedar. The 'randomized' layout took careful planning, precision carpentry and a whole lot of teamwork.

From complex plans to clean execution.

For his owner-built Net Zero home, our architectural designer client handed us plans for a “random” board and batten siding. But what looked random was actually a complex, 14-step repeating pattern. We decoded the vision, mapped the layout, and brought it to life with organized precision and flow.

Last spring we hired B.I.G. Timber Contracting to build our new house and coach house in Comox, and we couldn't be happier with both the end results and the entire process along the way. Their skill, efficiency, and attention to detail from start to finish meant everything went smoothly and stayed on schedule and on budget, from laser straight foundation and framing, to perfect execution of a complicated siding pattern and other complex architectural details. They have extensive experience with the entire process from foundation to fine finishing and they are all around great guys. I would highly recommend them to friends or anyone with a project of any size.
