Meet EWAN Design + Construct

EWAN Design + Construct Inc. is a BC design+build firm that integrates three disciplines — urban planning, building design, and construction management — under a single team. The pitch: fewer hand-offs between architect, engineer, and contractor means fewer surprises and faster execution.

The practice serves homeowners, builders, developers, and companies. Scope covers single-family custom homes through modern multiplex projects for multi-generational living. Lower-mainland focus, 12+ years of completed work.

Their workflow starts upstream of design — feasibility studies and proforma analysis define what can be built under current BC zoning before any drawings get started. Urban-planning insight is paired with construction-cost analysis so the design and the budget converge from day one.

Why work with EWAN

Feasibility before drawings

Most projects start with a sketch. EWAN starts with the proforma — what the lot allows under current zoning and what the math says is buildable — before a single line gets drawn.

Three disciplines, one accountable team

Urban planning, design, and construction management all in-house. No subcontracted architect-to-builder handoff loop — the people who plan the project also draw it and run the site.

Multiplex + multi-generational specialty

Multi-generational multiplex is one of EWAN's named specialties — relevant for BC homeowners assembling a family compound on a single Bill 44 lot.

EWAN positions as a design+build practice covering urban planning, building design, and construction management. For projects that require an AIBC architect's stamp, confirm the engagement scope at intake.

Can EWAN handle feasibility before I commit to a project?

Yes — feasibility studies and proforma analysis are an upstream service in their workflow. Useful for homeowners deciding whether their lot is multiplex-worthy before paying for design.
