Start to Finish Construction Services
New Pacific Designs provides all the construction services you need for your project.
Pre-construction
In the pre-construction phase, we will make all the arrangements for your utilities, including Hydro, water, and sewer connections.
Construction
We’ll begin by surveying and pinning your lot. We’ll determine height restrictions via survey and provide you with proper survey documents to ensure your home location, square footage and height do not exceed limitations.
Foundation work will involve the initial excavation then creating elevations, footings, foundation and retaining walls.
We’ll do all the framing, which includes building all floor, wall, and roof systems plus all cosmetic back-framing (for example: coffered ceilings, vaulted ceilings, niche ceilings).
Next we’ll install your exterior doors and windows, make your home watertight, and take care of any and all exterior finishing products.
In the pre-finishing phase of construction, we’ll install or rough-in your plumbing and electrical services, any necessary ducting for the HRV and exhaust venting, HVAC, insulation, and drywall. We’ll also do the initial painting.
Completion Phase
In the last phase of construction, we will install all flooring products, interior doors, and finishing materials, including railings, cabinetry, and custom millwork. We will also install light and plumbing fixtures plus do the final painting and the rough-grading for future landscaping. When we’re done, we’ll complete the site clean-up.
