Why we do what we do.

We are a construction and millwork company based in North Vancouver, British Columbia. We genuinely enjoy building beautiful spaces for people. We love being part of the creative exchange of ideas between clients, architects, designers and builders. And we love it when a complex and challenging vision is brought into the real world. But what we love the most is our people.

The thing that sets us apart isn’t our technical skill or capacity. It's our culture. A culture that is built and nurtured by the whole team. It’s something that is felt when you walk onto one of our job sites and when you interact with our staff. It defines the experience of working with us and is the first thing people notice when they bring us on board. And we believe this is key to delivering the remarkable work we do. Because as much as building an award-winning home is remarkable, it would be nothing if we couldn't make the experience remarkable too.

For our people. For our partners. And for the client.

“For me, the ‘why’ of this company is the people. Vertical Grain exists as much to build homes as it is to be a home for creative, talented, passionate humans.”

We want to be a place where sensitivity and thoughtfulness are celebrated. We want to create an environment where all our staff are encouraged to add their ideas and creativity to the conversation. We want to be a workplace where women are empowered and supported to be leaders in an industry where it isn't the norm. Where architects and designers feel like a part of the team, connected through the entire process. By doing this, we believe we can redefine what a construction company is and what it means to the people who are a part of it.

We want to build a legacy of remarkable homes defined by unparalleled quality and we want to acknowledge the talented passionate people who make it possible.

Without them, these homes and this company simply wouldn’t exist.
