Meet Naikoon Contracting
Naikoon Contracting is a North Vancouver custom-home builder and high-performance general contractor. The original Naikoon was founded by Terry Geluch in 1980 in Masset, BC. Joe Geluch bought the name and relaunched the practice in North Vancouver in February 2010, so the current firm has been running about 16 years.
In 2024 Naikoon was named Custom Home Builder of the Year by both the Homebuilders Association of Vancouver (the HAVAN Awards) and the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of BC (the Grand Georgie Award). It picked up ten Georgie nominations that year across different house styles and budgets.
The firm builds to Passive House and Net-Zero standards and uses cross-laminated timber (CLT) on larger projects. Named work includes the Bird’s Wing Passive House, which won a SABMag Canadian Green Building Award, the McHardy Net-Zero Home, and a Passive House duplex done with One Seed Architecture. Beyond houses, Naikoon has built community centres and commercial projects across Western Canada.
President Joe Geluch was given a 2023 Professional Achievement Award at the Building Transformations Innovation Spotlight Awards. Under him the company adopted virtual design and construction (BIM) and offers full construction management as well as general contracting.

Why work with Naikoon
01
Built for high-performance multiplex
Naikoon already builds Passive House and Net-Zero duplexes, including a Passive House duplex with One Seed Architecture. That envelope and air-tightness experience carries directly into a 3- to 6-unit multiplex aiming for Step Code 4 or 5.
02
Mass timber on larger units
The firm uses cross-laminated timber on bigger projects. For a stacked multiplex, CLT can speed up framing and give you better fire and acoustic separation between units.
03
Construction management option
Naikoon offers both general contracting and construction management, plus BIM coordination. On a multi-unit job that means earlier cost certainty and tighter trade scheduling.
