- Buck Robertson Contracting is a family-run, custom home-building company (general contractor) based on Vancouver Island. This video documents the process of "getting out of the ground" - which (in most jobs) is your unknown. Here we will show you the first few steps on getting your foundation set in order to start building your brand new carriage home (or any dream home you wish to get started on). We will also highlight some of the unexpected issues that could pop up along the way - as every house is a prototype and with that there are sometimes bumps in the road.

Top notch gents !
Excellent detailed work! Greetings from Texas.
Phyllis I am so happy you were able to stumble upon our video and you enjoyed it. We have a new project starting shortly and will try our best to provide useful information that helps to inspire others.
Absolutely nutty, I can't wait to watch the full build, cheers from up in Canada!
Thanks, much appreciated. We will be finishing this project to a lock-up stage there will be drywall and a little flooring and some rough fixtures like a toilet and a laundry sink. But we have a second video not sure if you have seen it or not but give it a look and we have another video of a carriage house we finished.
I’m going to reach out to you guys I’m interested in making a carriage home my first home.
I look forward to hearing from you
Can one person do it by himself ?
So depending on where you live this may or may not be something that could be done. It would be a lot of work for one person and depending on building knowledge would determine if possible. If you are talking about in British Columbia, Canada you would need to either have a “home builder license” or a homeowner builders license. Please let me know if this was helpful or if you are looking for more information.
@@buckrobertsoncontracting in Edmonton. My handy man has 30 year experience. He is good at all things but not licenced in anything. His best skills are in finishing. I can get a licenced framer “shell maker” to do one part of the job and let my handy man finish it. It’s my assumption. I just feel hvac and permits and everything put together is a lot for me as a novice to be my own general contractor
You are correct being a general contractor is a full time job and understand your local bylaws is a maze that most don’t want to travel down. I suggest that you a a GC so they can be your North Star for your project and allow for a great overall outcome. Take time to interview many builders (GC) to understand how they work and find one that you feel communicates well with you. Then go into a design contract followed by a construction contract so you and the builder both know what is expected of one another.
@@buckrobertsoncontracting thank you so much. It’s funny how I do a couple of diy home projects and think I can manage to do a full build project.
You know what though you should be proud of yourself for reaching out and asking for advice as to what to do next.
