North Vancouver Custom Homes

The renovation has stood the test of time and remains a very special, inspirational space. Team communication throughout the 10 month project was frequent, transparent and honest. Obstacles were solved collaboratively. The trades we worked with were skilled, reliable and professional. We happily recommend Novell and without hesitation

…some of the most genuine personal care and reasonably priced attention to detail that I have ever received, period.

It's been seven years since Novell designed and constructed our laneway home and we love it more than ever! The home construction has held up well with minimal maintenance, and still looks terrific.

The integration of Design Build meant that there were no promises made that could not be kept.

Laurel and her team were the design inspiration for our kitchen renovation. She really took the time to understand our lifestyle and how we wanted make the best use of an existing space. We really love our new space and would offer the highest recommendation.

This home is proof that good design is money well spent.

Laurel James of Novell Design Build helped us achieve a space that is warm, bright, healthy, inviting. The design also follows form as the domes allow for creativity, healthy flow ... and indeed, a great working environment. "We love our home, we love our home, we love our home". Thank you for your most brilliant design work.

This home was build with thought, care and integrity. We cannot express how happy is was to work with Novell and especially the dynamic team of Laurel and Angelito.

Novell is truly a GEM in this chaotic design/ build contractor business.

They were very professional yet very friendly. You know a reno has gone well when you're happy to see your contractor! The crew was pleasant and reliable, as were the sub-contractors. Novell is very professional with their estimates and billing. We feel very fortunate to have found them, and would do it all over again. I highly, highly recommend them.

We loved working with Novell. They were great at listening to our design goals & narrowing down a realistic scope of work. All of the trades they brought in spoke very highly of them. And they have gone above and beyond with the final follow up details to make sure we are very happy with our finished renovation. I would highly recommend them!

Novell Design Build's team specializes in crafting new custom homes, major renovations, and laneways. They are amazing to work with - they are professional, creative, and efficient.

Novell did an amazing job with our major renos in 2008-2009. Laurel had some really innovative ideas that let us get what we wanted within our budget. Highly recommended.
