Kinsol Timber Systems specializes in working collaboratively with architects, engineers and general contractors to deliver carefully detailed, constructible, and ambitious structures. A Vancouver Island based facility, with access to Canada’s best timber, our shop and site crews are broadly experienced in planning, fabricating, and erecting timber structures in some of the most challenging conditions.

Our team has a breadth of experience spanning all aspects of timber work from mass timber structures, architectural beam work and traditional joinery, to commercial and institutional projects across multiple sectors.  We specialize in working with clients in order to deliver projects within agreed timetables and budgets.  No single person or firm can provide all of the answers all of the time: we understand that our best work is achieved through the cooperation with, and support of, a larger team.

Kinsol typically works on three or four projects concurrently; project scopes and values range considerably from modest additions to complex multi-year projects that include a full range of design, engineering and construction management services. We have a portfolio that demonstrates competence in new construction, timber engineering and the conservation of historic timber buildings. Increasingly, Kinsol has been called upon to answer design and build opportunities where challenging logistics and complex locations are important considerations.
