Step 1: Consultation & Vision:

With experience on Worksites as Supervisor, Builder, Sub-Contractor and First Aid, I can offer a great wide lens to achieve your goals.
First we will establish :
- Your Budget
- Your Timeline
- Your Vision

This order is crucial as any Project is a balance of compromises.
1. Depending on your budget, the choice of materials will drastically vary, so is the labor or talent hired.
2. Although I offer Rush work (for a Fee), your Timeline will determine the intensity of work, or number of staff required.
3. Finally your Vision: How fancy, how original ? Have a model, a plan ? Or just an inspiration..?? This will determine design and planning time.

Step 2: Design & Customization:

Of course ‘Gurvan Custom’ wants first and foremost to offer a personalized service and product that fits your needs and tastes.
I learned to “Finish before we Start” in Engineering, and my skills in Technical Drafting and quick sketching can help us communicate your vision clearly into reality.
Collaborating on the Design process will determine:
- Your final budget and real timeline.
- The materials used, the look & feel, the durability, the efficiency.
- The need for permit, labor or manufacturing.

The Customization can be involved into the project, or as an add-on.
Different choices can quickly turn a custom esthetics choice into an engineering challenge.
Finding and help you make those compromises is where I strive when it comes to building with wood.

Step 4: Final Touches & Handover:

Once all the Phases agreed upon were successful, all payments made.
We can sign on, of shake hands on the final product, hopefully with a big smile on your face!

I am proud of my Work and want to stand behind it, so if there are any complaints, I will gladly hear them and find a solution.

Remember that Wood can be capricious, needing care, oiling and sometimes years of proper air drying.
Working with a lot of recycled and old wood, be aware of the different grades of wood I offer.
