The Kootenay Acreage Addition Process
A completely transparent step by step guide to safely engineering your massive mountain property expansion from raw earth to flawless finish.
Step 1 The On Site Terrain Assessment
Every successful mountain build begins right on your dirt. We walk your property together to assess the severe slopes existing foundation integrity and deep earth soil conditions. We figure out exactly how to position your new massive living space for optimal mountain views while guaranteeing absolute ground stability.
Step 2 Structural Engineering and Design
We do not guess when it comes to massive snow loads and heavy timber spans. We work directly with elite structural engineers to design blueprints that perfectly match your existing rooflines and seamlessly connect the old space to the new massive addition.
Step 3 Heavy Civil Excavation and Foundation
This is where we bring in the heavy machinery. We conquer steep rocky hillsides and execute deep earth excavations to pour heavily reinforced concrete footings. We build a completely immovable base that will safely carry your new custom structure forever.
Step 4 Advanced Framing and Seamless Flow
We construct the complex raw skeleton of your new addition. We execute massive structural wall removals safely bridging the old property with the new expanded footprint to create that breathtaking unbroken open concept living space you have been dreaming of.
Step 5 Premium Interior Finishing
Once the heavy structure is completely locked in we deliver flawless luxury aesthetics. From custom wood vaulted ceilings to beautiful natural stone masonry we ensure the final finishes in your new massive living space perfectly match the premium Kootenay mountain lifestyle.
COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know about building with DCB Construction in the East Kootenays.
Do you handle the local building permits and structural engineering?
Yes we manage the entire complex approval process. We work directly with elite local engineers to ensure your new massive addition perfectly meets all regional snow load requirements and East Kootenay building codes before we ever bring in the heavy machinery.
Can our family live inside the house during a massive structural expansion?
This completely depends on the exact scale of the interior wall removals. For major open concept structural changes and heavy roofline integrations we highly recommend finding temporary accommodation to ensure your absolute safety and to allow our heavy framing crews to work at maximum speed.
How long does a major custom acreage addition actually take to build?
Every single mountain property is completely unique. A complex carriage house built into a steep rocky slope will have a totally different timeline than a standard main floor living room extension. We will provide a highly accurate construction schedule immediately following your initial on site terrain assessment.
Do you build standalone custom garages and carriage houses?
Absolutely. We specialize in engineering massive detached shops luxury guest suites and modern carriage houses that perfectly conquer difficult mountain terrain to maximize your total acreage footprint.
