- ABOUT DETAIL
Navigating Vancouver’s Zoning & Climate Challenges
Building in the Vancouver area requires more than just carpentry skills; it requires navigating a complex web of local regulations and environmental factors. From the historic setbacks in the Hough neighborhood to the specific drainage requirements in the hills of Fisher’s Landing, JRW Construction, LLC manages the entire logistical burden.
We handle all permitting with the City of Vancouver and Clark County to ensure your project meets strict local zoning codes and energy efficiency standards. Furthermore, our building envelopes are designed specifically for the PNW climate, utilizing advanced moisture protection and seismic strapping to ensure your investment stands the test of time.
Our Expert ADU Builders Solution for Vancouver Homes
At JRW Construction, LLC, we don’t just build structures; we curate lifestyle expansions. Our process for constructing Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) is rooted in transparency and precision. We begin with a feasibility study to determine exactly what your lot can accommodate, solving the common homeowner headache of “unknown costs.”
Our team utilizes high-performance materials, such as fiber-cement siding and energy-efficient windows, to match the aesthetic of your existing main house while providing modern durability. We employ advanced framing techniques to maximize interior square footage in tight spaces, ensuring your new unit feels spacious and inviting. Whether you require a garage conversion or a ground-up detached build, our project management covers everything from the initial concrete pour to the final paint touch-up. By integrating smart home technology and high-efficiency HVAC systems, we ensure your ADU is not only beautiful but cost-effective to operate year-round.

The "ADU" Advantage: Maximize Your Lot Potential
Many homeowners in the Vancouver metro area are sitting on untapped equity. By adding a luxury guest cottage or a detached ADU, you do more than just add a room; you create a flexible asset. Competitors often treat ADUs as “sheds with plumbing,” but we approach them as high-end custom homes on a smaller scale.
A well-built ADU in Vancouver can serve as a short-term rental for passive income, a private sanctuary for remote work, or a dignified home for multi-generational living. JRW Construction, LLC specializes in optimizing floor plans to make 600 square feet feel like 1,000, ensuring you get the absolute most out of your property’s footprint.
