Get Land Assessment

Looking to buy land in the Cowichan Valley? K2 offers complimentary consultations to help you assess development feasibility — no need to be a client or commit to building with us. Get the information you need to make a confident decision and avoid surprises.

Start the conversation

We begin with detailed conversations about your vision, budget, timeline, lifestyle, and specific needs. These initial meetings help us understand your goals, define an initial budget range, and determine if we're the right fit for your project.

03Conceptual drawings

img[data-deferred-image]{display:none}

Working alongside residential designers/architects, we develop initial design concepts that capture your vision while considering site constraints, budget parameters, and local building requirements.

04Construction drawings

Once the conceptual design is approved, we create detailed construction drawings and engineering plans. These comprehensive documents serve as the blueprint for your home and are essential for obtaining building permits.

05Budget preparation

We develop a detailed, transparent budget based on the approved plans. Our pricing includes all aspects of construction, from materials and labor to permits and site development costs.

06Building permits

We handle the entire permitting process, coordinating with local authorities and ensuring all necessary approvals are obtained before construction begins.

07Land development

We specialize in developing vacant, often forested properties into buildable lots. Our team handles land clearing, well drilling, power installation, and comprehensive permitting support. With decades of experience building on difficult terrain and in sensitive environmental areas, we navigate complex challenges that other builders might avoid.

08Construction

This is an exciting time for everyone. Our skilled team brings your vision to life with meticulous attention to detail and quality craftsmanship. We maintain regular communication throughout the build process, and encourage site meetings with you during all stages of construction.

09Completion

img[data-deferred-image]{display:none}

When the project is close to hand-over, we schedule a deficiency walkthrough meeting. We closely examine the interior and exterior together to ensure you are thrilled with your new home. After this meeting, we get to work on rectifying any deficiencies in preparation for project completion.

10Move-in, warranty, and ongoing support

img[data-deferred-image]{display:none}

The big day arrives and we hand over the keys to your beautiful new home. Our relationship doesn't end here; we provide a second-to-none warranty service and ongoing support to ensure your home continues to meet the highest standards of quality and performance.

Transparent project management to tie it all together

Our specialized project management software offers a level of organization and clarity that simply isn't possible with spreadsheets or scattered email threads. Our web-based platform keeps everything in one place, and you see what we see — sub-trade & supplier quotes, bi-weekly budget updates as costs come in, progress notes, regular photo updates, and a complete record of all communications. It all flows through a single dashboard. This means fewer surprises, less confusion, and a smoother experience from start to finish. For clients living out of town, it's an especially effective way to stay connected and informed, no matter where you are.

Meet the owners

Peter Greenway

Peter joined K2 in 2016 as a project manager and became co-owner in 2019. He’s the primary point of contact for clients from kickoff to completion, bringing a strong blend of hands-on experience and business insight. Before joining K2, he built and sold a landscape construction business in Victoria, earned a BCom in Entrepreneurial Management from Royal Roads University and a Masters Certificate in Project Management from UVIC — foundations that shape his approach to organization, communication, and client care.

Jared Morton

Jared started with K2 as a labourer nearly two decades ago and worked his way up through the ranks — framer, site supervisor, and now co-owner. A hardworking farm kid who doesn’t quit, he brings grit, skill, and a deep, hard-earned understanding of the building process. He’s sharp, dependable, and makes sure every project is built to the standard we’re known for.

Together, Jared and Peter bring a level of energy and ambition that continues to propel the company forward, while drawing from decades of experience working alongside the original founders. The foundation the company was built on — integrity, relationships, and quality craftsmanship — still anchors everything we do today, now carried forward by a new generation of leadership.

Frequently asked questions

We use a specialized software system called CoConstruct to provide transparency (you see what we see in regards to sub-trades' quotes etc.) and to keep the budget in check. With real-time visibility, we can all see the budget status at any time, and we can make adjustments as needed while keeping related sub-trades in the loop. You can drill into specific items, such as "windows", to see all relevant quotes and past communications related to that item, keeping you in-the-loop on everything and making it easy to reference past conversations (unlike emails that get scattered/lost in the inbox).

Yes, we guide clients through the entire permitting process, handling the paperwork and coordination with local authorities. Our experience with complex sites and regulations helps keep projects moving forward as smoothly as possible.

Each project is unique, especially when it comes to permitting. The timeline becomes more in our control once permits are in place and construction begins; at this point, it typically takes 8-10 months to complete.

With decades of experience, we are well-prepared for building on difficult terrain and navigating environmental sensitivities. We have the expertise and willingness to navigate complex challenges that other builders might avoid.

K2 focuses on a low-volume, high-quality approach with personalized customer service and innovative project management. With a track record spanning over 35 years, we have the experience, expertise, and resources to deliver exceptional results, every time.
