We recently completed a development project in the Pemberton Heights area of North Vancouver. These 2 houses were built to benefit the long-term durability through the selection of efficient materials and process which will give a longer lifespan with lower maintenance and energy costs. This project was a perfect fit for us to assist in the design and execute the construction while working with some outstanding clients and consultants. A win for all of us! 
The original home was recycled hitting our target goals of 90%, leading way to a couple of stealth looking homes with performance levels right there with the best of them. Our mechanical engineer designed the mechanical systems to achieve maximum efficiency and hit our internal target goals that we have set for ourselves in accordance with our Vision here at Naikoon. These homes came in at EnerGuide score of 85% which can also be referenced in GJ with a score of 54GJ. To give you an idea of how this rating relates to an average home of this size, these 2 beauties on Mackay are about 80% more efficient. The main components in the design and equipment selection that leads to this are:
1) Space heating and Cooling
2) Water Heating
3) Lights and Appliances
4) Wall assemblies and insulation

Like all of our projects, we take pride in looking at the small details of the house. Things like, insulated water lines, domestic hot water heat recovery units, electric car plug-ins, solar power ready, extensive use of environmentally friendly materials, hot water heat pumps and stringent testing and inspection point along the way, led to a successful completion of 2 certified high-performance homes with Built Green Platinum and EnergyStar certifications.

Basement Development – Fort Sask Fitness The Design Studio | MTS Renovations transformed an unfinished residential basement into a fully functional, home-based fitness gym—Fort Sask. Fitness. This custom-designed space provides an inviting yet high-performance environment tailored for personal training and fitness sessions. Project Scope & Features: Design & Permitting - We prepared concept design layouts that we converted to construction drawings. We prepared and submitted all permitting applications for this home based business and provided client representation through each phase of the project up to and including final occupancy inspection. Space Planning & Layout Optimization – We maximized the existing footprint for optimal functionality, ensuring seamless equipment placement, circulation, and safety. Flooring Selection – We installed durable, shock-absorbing gym flooring to support high-impact training and reduce noise transfer. Lighting & Electrical Upgrades – We enhanced brightness and visibility with LED lighting, strategically placed for an energizing atmosphere. We added dedicated electrical circuits to accommodate specialized fitness equipment. Ventilation & Climate Control – We incorporated efficient HVAC solutions to maintain air quality and temperature for a comfortable workout space. Custom Storage & Organization – We integrated built-in under-stair equipment shelving and storage solutions for weights, resistance bands, and fitness accessories. Aesthetic & Branding Integration – We designed a modern, motivating environment with finishes that align with the Fort Sask. Fitness brand identity. Soundproofing Enhancements – We implemented acoustic treatments to minimize noise impact on the rest of the home. By blending function with design, this basement transformation created a professional-grade fitness space that caters to both personal and client needs—all within the convenience of a residential setting.

This project involved a full upgrade of window treatments for a traditional sash bay and adjacent tall windows. The goal was to improve light control, thermal performance, and aesthetics by installing made‑to‑measure plantation shutters and bespoke blinds. The result is a cohesive, high‑quality finish that respects the property’s character while adding modern convenience. Scope of Work - Full site survey and precise measuring of all windows. - Manufacture and supply of bespoke plantation shutters for the bay sections. - Supply and installation of made‑to‑measure roller blinds with blackout lining for tall sash windows. - Motorisation for long‑drop blinds where required, plus wiring and testing. - Final adjustments, sealing, and a quality inspection. Challenges and Solutions - Long drop blinds: For windows with a 3 m drop we specified reinforced headrails and high‑torque motors to prevent sagging and ensure smooth operation. - Sash window geometry: Custom shutter panels were designed to fit bay angles and sash reveals, using discreet fixings to preserve original frames. - Insulation and noise reduction: We selected thicker louvres and lined blinds to improve thermal retention and reduce external noise. Results and Benefits - Improved comfort: Noticeable reduction in drafts and better temperature control. - Enhanced light control: Motorised blinds provide effortless, precise daylight management. - Aesthetic upgrade: A unified, premium finish that complements the sash architecture. - Increased property appeal: The upgrade enhances perceived value and homeowner satisfaction.

Full roof replacement in Bellaire, 59 squares, finished without delays. Then he called us back. Client: Richard Location: Bellaire Scope of Work: Complete roof replacement, plus gutter screen replacement on a return visit Richard’s roof came off in one layer, down to the deck, with five sheets of decking replaced and 16 feet of rotted fascia trim out before anything new went on. Then the whole deck dried in with GAF FeltBuster synthetic underlayment, and GAF StormGuard ice and water shield into the valleys, along the rake walls, around every penetration and at the chimney. New 2x2 Kynar drip edge, starter strip at all eaves and rakes, step flashing at the rake walls. Shingles are GAF Timberline HDZ, rated to 130 mph, set with six nails each instead of the standard four, finished with GAF Z-Ridge caps. For ventilation: ridge vents, two power attic fans, and the old PVC pipe flashings upgraded to metal base boots. Landscaping and AC covered during tear-off. Gutters cleared, magnetic sweep, final inspection. His GAF System Plus Limited Warranty is registered in his name, and the workmanship is backed for seven years. Then the part that matters most to us. Richard ended his review with “I would use Achilles Roofing again. No question.” A few weeks later he called back for gutter screens, and we installed 110 feet of new 7-inch screen. Richard, thank you for the review, and for the second call. You named Ahmad, the office, the crew, and Patricia on site. Every one of them read it. Achilles Roofing & Exterior, a Houston roofing company serving Sugar Land and greater Houston.

Completed another premium metal roof replacement in Westlake, Austin featuring a custom standing seam roofing system designed for both performance and curb appeal. The homeowner wanted a roofing solution that would better handle Texas heat, hail, and seasonal storms while also complementing the modern architecture of the home. This project involved a complete tear-off of the existing roof, installation of upgraded waterproofing materials, new flashing details, improved ventilation components, and precision installation of high-end standing seam metal panels. Our crew paid close attention to critical transition areas, roof penetrations, drainage paths, and panel layout to ensure a clean finished appearance and long-term durability. Standing seam metal roofing has become increasingly popular throughout Westlake because of its longevity, energy efficiency, low maintenance requirements, and strong resistance to wind and hail damage. Many homeowners also appreciate the sleek architectural look and potential long-term value a metal roofing system can add to a property. From the initial inspection through final cleanup, the goal was to deliver a high-quality roofing installation with clear communication, professional workmanship, and minimal disruption to the homeowner. For homeowners researching metal roof replacement in Westlake, luxury roofing contractors in Austin, modern standing seam roofing systems, or hail-resistant roofing options, investing in a properly installed metal roof can provide decades of protection and performance.
