10×12 North Vancouver Backyard Editing Studio
10×12 North Vancouver Backyard Office
Wanting a quiet place to work from home our client hired us to build this beautiful Modular 10×12 North Vancouver Backyard Editing Studio.
The biggest challenge for us was the location. The client wanted the building in the far south-west corner of the property nearly 112 feet from the from front curb.
Time to bring out the big guns. In this case, it was a 200 Ton Liebherr Mobile crane from RMK Cranes. With a reach of over 200 feet, this crane made easy work of the lift and once rigged up it was in the backyard in minutes.
When you take into consideration the cost to truck crews and materials across town day after day to the job site Modular Construction is definitely the way to go. It’s far more affordable for ourselves and our clients to build our building offsite in our North Vancouver Factory.
Once complete we truck the building to the site and crane it into place or deliver it with our special delivery trailer. Our Lifestyle Outbuildings are also CSA-A277 Factory Building Certified which takes care of all the typical Building Inspections but does it in our factory rather than onsite.
And one of the best things about modular construction…. you don’t have construction crews traipsing through your yard day after day for a couple of weeks.

North Vancouver Storage Lockers
Our client was a commercial landlord with a stinky problem. With the District of North Vancouver’s recent change to picking up garbage every two weeks he could foresee and ever growing problem; overturned garbage cans with a bunch of very happy neighbourhood raccoons.
All joking aside, statistically speaking it would be highly likely that from time to time his tenants would forget to put out the garbage. With the bi-weekly collection the chance of animals getting into it would skyrocket.
The solution was to have Westcoast Outbuildings design, fabricate and install two new storage buildings with a total of four storage rooms to accommodate the four-plex’s garbage storage needs.
Each building was custom built to integrate into the existing construction seamlessly.
