20+ years building, managing, and renovating custom homes across Metro Vancouver — from site layout and framing through to final finish.

Available for full-time employment or contract work · Own tools · Valid BC driver's licence

Two decades on Vancouver job sites, most of them as the one running them.

I'm a licensed residential builder and hands-on carpenter based in Vancouver, BC. For nearly a decade I owned and operated aSean Group Construction Ltd., building single-family dwellings and duplexes from the ground up. Since 2014, through Ehome Reno Services, I've managed full-cycle renovations and new builds — working directly alongside my crew on framing, siding, envelope, and finishing, while handling permitting and inspections with the City of Vancouver.

I take on a limited number of projects at a time so each one gets the attention it needs, from the first excavation stake to the final punch-list item.

How I work

Take ownership of a project the same way I would if it were my own house.
Read the site early — I'd rather catch a problem before it costs a day than explain it after.
Comfortable moving between trades on the same build, framing one day, finishing the next.
Run efficient, but never at the cost of the finish. There's a difference.
Know when to solve it myself and when to bring in the right person.
Twenty years in, I still prefer a custom home where no two days look the same.
