About

GW Blanes Construction is an award winning builder and one of a select group of companies that builds high quality homes, additions and renovations with a particular emphasis on energy efficiency, comfort and long term owner satisfaction. President, Gary Blanes has over 35 years of experience in the building and renovation industry and continues to learn new and better ways to improve the way homes are built and renovated. His formal education began in 1977 earning a diploma in Structural Engineering Technology from the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology and he then became a Red Seal Journeyman Carpenter in 1982. He has completed a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Alberta in Industrial Arts Education and Business and has worked as a labourer, carpenter, estimator and project manager prior to starting his own company in 1991. By 1999 he was one of the first builders in BC to register with the Home Owner Protection Office to offer warranties on new homes.
All employees are taught from the beginning that satisfied clients and impressive workmanship are how we get virtually all future work. Gary’s motto is “it’s better to give more value to the client than it is to spend that money on advertising.”

Choosing to work with professional contractors in Vancouver is a smart choice.

  • Project Management: Managing the various sub-trades and knowing when to bring them into the project will save time and money.
  • Trade Connections: Having access to skilled workers can be a challenge as trades in Metro Vancouver are in such high demand. Professional builders/renovators/designers come with established working relationships with the trades and sub-trades. Remember, plumbing, electrical and gas upgrades all require licensed contractors by law and are not for the DIY.
  • Contractor Rates: your professional builder, renovator, or designer will have access to contractor rates, often being able to pass on savings to you.
  • Building Permits: Every municipality has building permits that must be adhered too. More than just the cost of the permit, knowing the implications of the regulations will help to define the real cost of home building/renovation project. Keep in mind that someone looking to buy your house in the future may ask about the renovation work and want verification that the work was done to code.
  • Experienced Eye: Renovating an existing structure will inevitably turn up surprises. An experienced builder/contractor/renovator/designer will bring solutions to these inevitable challenges.

Remember, successfully custom-built homes and renovations take time, resources, and expertise to achieve the desired outcome while ensuring today’s building codes are met.

Your home is one of the largest investments you will ever make. Protect yourself by working with experienced, local contractors in Vancouver that you can trust.
