The Stillwater Custom Homes Experience

We build fewer homes so we can give each one the attention it deserves. Every project is crafted by our own in-house team of carpenters, ensuring detail and quality that lasts for generations.

Our focus is on high-performance building — Passive House and Net Zero principles that create homes as efficient as they are enduring. But beyond the craftsmanship and technology, we believe the process matters just as much as the product. That’s why we emphasize transparency, planning, and consistent communication, building lasting relationships along the way.

With Stillwater, you don’t just get a home. You get a team committed to your vision, every step of the journey.

We enter into a partnership with every client becoming your advocate from the first shovel in the ground, to handing over the keys. We are completely client-focused and use this lens when advising you on the many decisions needed to actualize your project in tangible form.

We offer Peace of Mind: We are fully licensed and registered builders in British Columbia, proudly offering BC's 2-5-10 Year Home Warranty Insurance on all our new home construction projects.

Our Proven Process ensures our ability to offer you a dependable, transparent quality of service. Our job is to manage your project and minimize risk along the way. We keep you informed from start to finish.

Client communication is at the core of what we do and ensure that we proactively share updates and ask questions, and of course, reply promptly to any emails, phone calls, or messages you share.

What Our Clients Say

The measure of our work is found in the words of our clients.

In the years since we met Tom, we have done many different projects from small to large. Most recently we built a new design office, just completed as I write this. The project was meticulously planned and executed by Tom. As it nears completion we are On Budget, On Time and better than promised.

Greg & Nancy Marshall

Tom Labelle, Director of Stillwater, Design Build, immediately impressed us with his open and creative approach to our project that invited a 'new and fresh' build design for our retirement home on a small Gulf Island.

Wynn and Monique

Stillwater Design Build renovated an open carport attached to my house, giving me a beautiful home office / living space. Tom and his crew were a pleasure to work with, from beginning to end.

Alexandra

Tom Labelle and the crew from Stillwater Design Build are brilliant craftsmen. He and his team have completed two major projects for us and we highly recommend his expertise and services. Our projects were completed on time and within budget by friendly, qualified tradespeople.

Debbie & Steve

Stillwater Design Build delivered an exceptional product and service. Tom and Tyler are skilled master carpenters who don’t cut corners and the results show. They were upfront and provided budget transparency throughout the build process, which was very refreshing.

Ryan B.

Tom and the team at Stillwater made the process of building our new commercial space a breeze. We truly felt like he was part of our team, and we know we wouldn’t have got it done without him.

Brad and Derek

Tom did what everyone else told us was impossible - he reclaimed our century old floors, providing advice and the skills to deliver top-quality results that met our tight timelines.
