Over the years we have done may projects using SIPs or Structural Insulated Panels.  SIPs are walls, roofs and floors made of panels consisting of a rigid foam insulation core sandwiched between OSB.  The seamless, closed cell rigid foam reduces air leakage and thermal bridging by providing a continuous span of insulation.  Energy efficient building methods are continually gaining popularity, construction time is decreased and efficiencies are increased when building with SIPS so its not hard to understand why so many of our clients are choosing this method of construction.  
The adaptability and versatility of the panels allow for more custom designs ranging from Contemporary to traditional styles in new construction as well as additions. Below is a collection of some of our SIP projects.

Well it is looking and feeling like deck weather is here! As Canadians it is by far one of our favourite places to be on a warm sunny day and as British Columbians we know that enjoying those sun drenched afternoons with friends and bevies on the the deck does not come with out a little elbow grease. 
On the West Coast we spend our wet winters watching our outdoors spaces be plummeted with wind and rain and worrying about what we will have to do come Spring to get our outdoor living spaces back into BBQing conditions.  Most likely that list of task includes but is not limited to pressure washing, patching, staining, painting, repairing and so on.  
Composite decking, mainly manufactured by TimberTech offers a solution to these Spring maintenance issues and it may not come at the cost you'd expect.  We recently replaced a pressure treated wood deck in Nanaimo's North end with a TimberTech composite deck. The home owner looks forward to spending countless hours enjoying the space instead of maintaining. Here are a few photos after the install.  

The TimberTech website offers lots of great information regarding cost and maintenance comparisons between composite and wood decks. http://timbertech.com/straighttalk/what-is-the-benefit-of-a-composite-deck-over-a-wood-deck- _
Must also give props to another fantastic job on the railings to K&S Rai_lings. 
So, if your looking for many enjoyable years of burger flipping and cocktails sipping without the yearly to-do/re-do list, maybe this is an option for you.

Over the past few months Steve and the crew have had the pleasure of being a part of an amazing project for an extraordinary little boy.  We teamed up with the BC & Yukon Make a Wish Foundation, local suppliers such as Insulspan, Slegg, Starline Windows, Weather-Wise Cedar Products and Mayco Mix to build every kid's dream playhouse for this special little guy going through some unfortunate health issues.  Constructed of  SIPs ( Structurally Insulated Panels) the playhouse is energy efficient,  will hold a comfortable temperature and was a learning experience for the Carpentry Program students at VIU who helped on the installation.  We are very grateful to everyone involved in this project, including the B. Gallant Homes crew that donated their time and the family for letting of be a part of this and hopefully creating some smile :)
