Frequently Asked Questions

The home at 2441 Nelson Avenue, West Vancouver, is built on a reinforced concrete foundation with a conventional wood-frame superstructure designed under Part 9 of the BC Building Code. The floors utilize engineered LVL and TJI joists for long-span stability, and the building envelope features 2×6 rainscreen wall assemblies meeting BC Energy Step Code performance standards. The roof structure consists of engineered trusses, providing open interior volumes and superior thermal efficiency. This combination of systems ensures durability, precision, and sustainability, reflecting Nexvan Construction Management’s commitment to high-end residential excellence.

The home sits on a reinforced concrete footing and foundation wall designed to handle the area’s sloped terrain and soil conditions. A slab-on-grade system is used for the lower level, integrating drainage and vapor protection. This setup provides a stable base for the wood superstructure and ensures long-term performance under West Vancouver’s coastal climate.

During construction, several design refinements were introduced to enhance functionality: Relocated entry door to create a larger front-closet zone. Adjusted bathroom fixtures for improved circulation and comfort. Re-positioned windows in the kitchen to allow for an island and better natural lighting. Added built-in closets in bedrooms for storage efficiency. These changes demonstrate Nexvan’s commitment to space optimization through field coordination.

The exterior walls feature 2×6 framing with rainscreen assembly, high-performance insulation, and triple-glazed windows, designed to comply with the BC Energy Step Code. This ensures exceptional energy efficiency, moisture protection, and long-term envelope durability, aligned with West Vancouver’s modern green-building standards.

Unlike production homes, this residence was fully custom-designed and supervised on-site by Nexvan’s licensed builder. Every structural, spatial, and design decision—down to closet placement and island geometry—was reviewed and optimized during construction. The result is a high-performance, architecturally refined custom home that balances precision, comfort, and sustainability.
