Where are you located and which areas do you serve?
We’re based in Errington, and the majority of our projects are located in Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Coombs, and Nanoose Bay. That said, we’re always open to the right fit and may take on select custom home projects elsewhere on Vancouver Island and the surrounding islands.
Do you offer warranties on your work?
Yes. Every custom home we build is backed by a comprehensive warranty package covering workmanship, materials, and structural components. We stand behind our work and remain available long after you move in.
How long does a custom home build typically take?
Timelines vary depending on design complexity, permitting, and site conditions, but most custom homes take 10–16 months from initial design to move‑in. We provide a detailed schedule at the start and keep you updated at every stage.
Can you help with design and planning?
Absolutely. We collaborate with trusted architects and designers to bring your vision to life. Whether you’re starting with a full set of plans or just an idea, we guide you through layout, finishes, and functionality to ensure your home reflects your lifestyle.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. We manage all permitting, inspections, and regulatory requirements on your behalf. Our team ensures your project meets or exceeds all local building codes and safety standards.
Can I make changes during construction?
Yes, changes are possible. We walk you through the impact on cost and schedule so you can make informed decisions. Transparency is key, and we document all changes clearly for your peace of mind.
How do you manage budgets and cost control?
We use JobTread, a project‑management platform that allows us to provide detailed, itemized proposals and maintain clear communication throughout your project. Our team tracks costs closely, identifies potential changes early, and ensures you always have an accurate picture of your budget.
Do you work with specific trades and suppliers?
We partner with vetted, experienced local trades and suppliers who share our commitment to quality craftsmanship. Many have worked with us for years, ensuring consistency and reliability on every project.
What makes Pickard Construction different from other companies?
We combine craftsmanship, communication, and genuine care. Our clients appreciate our transparency, our attention to detail, and the pride we take in every home. We treat your project as if it were our own.
