Our approach to building is reflected in continuous commissions including multi-family dwellings, custom home build, and commercial tenant improvements.

 

We employ a team of highly-skilled trades people including finishers, ticketed carpenters and foremen with credentials in architectural technologies. 

 

At Vanglo, we take great care in understanding the science behind what we build.

Envelope Consultant - Pacific Rim Architecture Ltd

​

"It was a pleasure to work with both of you on the residence at 135 East 17th Avenue, Vancouver, BC. 

The quality of work and attention to detail I have not seen for many years. 

It was also a pleasure to inspect the envelope work as you had paid attention to sequencing and lapping materials in the best practice manner. Where unique issues occurred I found your cooperation in finding the best solution refreshing. 

As an architect I found your work exceptional especially in the fine details. As an envelope consultant I found your work well executed and had no problem certifying the project."

"I first met the Vanglo team when they came to the aid of our prefabrication factory to help us complete a modern new house and an innovative apartment building to meet deadlines. I was impressed with their competence and enjoyed their involvement. I then viewed the house they completed on East 17th Ave, designed by Oliver Lang (LWPAC). It was very impressive in terms of finish quality and problem solving to get the best out of materials and manufacturers. They stretched the normal comfort zone of the window/door company, for instance, to achieve a better designed door system for the living area, and rethought the cladding system to maximize efficiency of application.

Since then we have worked on several projects together. They were my chosen contractors to renovate my offices. As you might expect, the exacting perfection of these spaces is a showroom for my architecture, so I chose carefully from a dozen contractors I have worked with. 

I look forward to doing the next new house together in Vancouver, if possible. They are extremely thoughtful, careful, and tenacious in getting things right, and have expertise in green building technologies. More importantly for me, they understand the tight tolerances of building a minimalist, modern house.  Their trades are congenial, attentive to instructions, and they all work together very well as a tight team.

Martin Warren, the principal, is level headed and well organized, leading his team with an appreciation of shared and differing skills. I thoroughly recommend Vanglo for new residential, as well as interiors and light commercial projects."
