We can turn your wish list into a space you’ll love
At Lentel, we don’t just want to build you a solution, we want to build you the best possible solution. So whether you want to build a new home, add a top floor to your house, do a whole-home renovation, or build a private suite to house aging parents or adult children, we begin every project by listening carefully.
Decades of building experience mean that we can offer you advice on how to maximize your budget to achieve your goals. We balance your wish list with the economic realities of your project, helping you to achieve the right balance of quality, lifestyle, aesthetics and resale value.
Our customer relationships last a lifetime, just like our customer care
When your family has lived in the community where it works since 1948, you soon realize that every job matters, and that every project is personal – that the passion you have for doing things right, is also a passion for looking after the community and the people you care about.
That’s why, at Lentel, our approach to customer care doesn’t end on your completion date. We stand behind every project we build, and during your first year in your new space we perform regular check-ins to make sure that you’re satisfied with our workmanship. Customer care isn’t a responsibility we take lightly – if you need us, we’re there.
Our experienced team loves a challenge
At Lentel, our team has the experience and training to build almost any kind of residential project – and we have: from a timber frame, post-and-beam house in the countryside, to an oceanfront estate, to a Net Zero-Ready home.
Our Red Seal-certified team is trained in the latest building science and knows how to work with your designer or architect to achieve beautiful results – in any architectural style – with the systems, technology, and building practices that make each of our custom home and renovation projects more durable, comfortable and energy-efficient than a typical home.
Not your typical build!
Project update: The Nest
From giant steel structures to massive insulated vinyl walls, this one’s been a pretty unique process from day one. Back in October, we kicked things off with the concrete pours, then insulated the vinyl walls, and since then, it’s really taken shape.
Building one is coming together with doorways in, fans up, and lighting starting to go into the rafters (with plenty more to come). Over on building two, the large end walls are going up, including the rolled wall on the north side.
One of the coolest parts has been the insulated vinyl wall system. Seeing these huge sections rolled out and stretched over the structure completely transforms the space.
The foundation for the amenities building is now complete, and we’re getting ready for the next phase with modular components arriving on site soon.

Remembering Bill from Fraser Valley Sundeck and Solutions Ltd. ❤️
Bill was a longtime collaborator on Lentel Construction projects, and his craftsmanship and attention to detail can be seen in so many of the projects we’ve built together over the years, including at our own home! He took great pride in his work, and it showed in every finish.
We’re grateful for the time we got to work alongside him and for the lasting mark he’s left on our projects. His work will continue to be part of the homes we build for years to come.

Designing for a multi-generational home means thinking beyond just layout, it’s about how everyone lives day to day.
In this space, an additional soundproofing layer was added to help manage noise between rooms, creating a quieter environment for both the adults and the kids. Thoughtful details like this make a big difference in homes where multiple generations share the space.
The standard wall performs well, but we’d like to enhance the performance even more for these homeowners. As Greg explains, we built a wall with 1” separation from the existing wall, like a double-sound barrier, using sonoboard 2x3 studs and drywall.
Stay tuned as we reveal the results as the homeowner has had some time to test the new sound proofing!

Mystery guest approved the floors before we could 🐾Can anyone identify these little prints?! We have a hunch 🦝
Luckily hardwood flooring is getting installed overtop of this concrete, and it’s a great thing it stopped short of the driveway or we’d have a big job on our hands.

This feature wall looks simple, but installing it was anything but. Check out how it went!
Built from dense solid oak, each section is extremely heavy and had to be maneuvered into place without damaging the surrounding ceilings, flooring, or finishes.
Weeks of planning and the right process made it possible.

A quiet moment, built right into the home.
The 2.5 storey home has some unique features, starting with the minimalist Scandi-modern design.
Typically, Scandinavian interior design focuses on sustainability, simplicity, neutral colours, and natural elements. On the main floor, large windows and sliding glass doors in the living and dining rooms visually extend the boundaries of each space into the garden.
