About Gamble Homes Custom Home Building Company

We could tell you more about us; however, a custom home is all about you; what style of house and architecture you prefer; what materials you like to use for construction; what your lifestyle is like. You have a vision of what that looks like for you. You are ready for the house of your dreams. We want to know your preference from style and functionality to how many bedrooms you would like. We have been in business since 2014 and have worked on multiple houses in the Cowichan Valley. We are there from start to finish and have helped many happy homeowners build the home of their dreams. We would be thrilled to help you next!

Initial meeting, visioning, and logistics

Every individual has their own set of personal values, just as Gamble Homes has their own set of company values. The initial meeting serves to determine if those values align and to answer any questions you may have.

Contacting designers for your custom home build

Working with an architect, or draftsperson and perhaps a designer to develop the blueprints for your house is one of the most important parts of a custom home build.

Permit, planning, and engineering

Extensive knowledge and experience are essential in accomplishing step three. Knowing the ins and outs of obtaining permits from local zoning authorities accelerate the process of planning and engineering.

Construction for unique custom home builds

Construction is the step that meets the eye. At this point the planning is done, the contract is signed, and a rough budget is established.

Details, move-in, showing house operations

To ensure that the house meets your comfort, aesthetic, and sustainability needs, you can hire an interior designer, to assist with paint, cabinetry, fixture, appliances and other choices.

Safeguard your investment with check-ins

To safeguard your investment, check-ins are conducted at several intervals, including after the first few months, six months, and one year to see ensure you have everything you need to properly maintain your home and address any questions you may have.

Gamble Homes Custom Home Builders

Professional training, custom craftsmen

We have partnered with local schools to provide work-for-credit opportunities for students. Our team of five apprentices attend classes in pursuit of their Red Seal Carpentry Certificates. I use my extensive experience as a craftsman and custom home builder to train my team. I also have sign-off authority for certification. I am also committed to furthering my own education. I completed 20 courses on building energy-efficient homes in 2021 and use this knowledge to train my team.

About the Gambles

Lisa is a real estate agent for Vancouver Island and Chase is the owner and operator of Gamble Homes. The duo help people feel at home in the Cowichan Valley – whether that is by purchasing a ready-built home or custom building a home of their own. When Lisa and Chase aren’t working to help people find or build their dream home, they can be found at the hockey arena or ball fields around Ladysmith with their son and two daughters. Who better to create a house that fits your lifestyle than those who live it?

" I view my custom home builds as works of art, just as an artist views their masterpiece. What fuels my business is a deep inspiration and passion for creating quality and unique homes. I put my heart and soul into my custom home builds to turn them into outstanding masterpieces. I have taken risks to establish my reputation as a distinguished custom home builder. See the Akenhead home build on our projects page to learn more on how I built a speculation home that most builders wouldn’t dare to build. When I am not busy planning with contractors, I can be found helping my team pour concrete and working on the site. I am a professionally trained craftsman with over 20 year’s year experience. I recognize quality when I see it. That’s why I focus on quality built homes. "
