Rooted in the beauty of the West Coast, Stillwater Custom Homes and Renovations is a passive house and custom home builder serving areas across Greater Victoria and South Vancouver Island communities. By working closely with you and your design partners, we turn ideas into well-crafted plans that bring clarity and confidence before construction begins.
From preliminary conceptual designs and budgets, to construction plans and permitting; all the way through the duration of your project, we take care of your best interests and keep you informed and in the driver's seat.
Based in Victoria, BC, we understand the unique coastal environment and architectural heritage that define the region. Our approach ensures a streamlined process, from initial concept to final construction, allowing for seamless collaboration between designers, builders, and homeowners.
Our team of specialists will prepare the site for your new custom home in Greater Victoria or the surrounding area. This step ensures smooth construction throughout the entire process.
From there, we build the foundation of your home setting the base for a structure that will withstand the elements and stand strong.
From expertly engineered load-bearing walls to intricate vaulted ceilings, our framing and structural work is designed to support both function and beauty. Whether you're building a brand-new custom home or renovating an existing structure, we bring precision, reliability, and excellence to every project.
From custom millwork and elegant trim to premium flooring, cabinetry, and fixtures, our expert craftsmanship ensures every detail is executed with precision. Whether you prefer a sleek modern aesthetic, classic elegance, or a rustic coastal feel, we work with the finest materials and finishes to create interiors that are both beautiful and built to last.
Our team conducts a thorough inspection, addressing any last-minute adjustments to guarantee perfection before move-in day. With everything in place, we hand over the keys, welcoming you into a beautifully crafted home designed for comfort, style, and lasting quality.
Our care doesn’t end when construction wraps up. We walk through your home with you at completion, then schedule annual check-ins to ensure everything continues to perform as intended.
Should something arise, we’re always within reach. For us, service isn’t an obligation, it’s an extension of the trust you’ve placed in us. Every call is an opportunity to reaffirm that commitment.
We also welcome honest feedback through “Lessons Learned” conversations. By listening and adapting, we not only improve our process but also ensure your experience remains as positive and stress-free as possible.
Plan your custom home or renovation with confidence. Avoid surprises and gain clarity through thoughtful guidance on pricing, planning, and process in our Investment Guide.
We're proud to build in the communities where we live, work, and raise our families. From Greater Victoria to the surrounding Gulf Islands, Stillwater is trusted to deliver homes that reflect both quality and place.

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.

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.

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.

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.
