MOVED FOR THE MOUNTAINS

What started as a snowboarding adventure turned into a career-defining move. Karl landed contracts on some of Whistler's most iconic projects — the Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre, Whistler Olympic Park, and the Peak to Peak Gondola. In 2008, he founded French Connexion Carpentry Ltd.— delivering Fitzsimmons Walk Townhouses, HI Whistler, and Cheakamus Crossing. He never left.

BOOK A CALL

What information do I need to provide for a consultation?

To help us assess your project, it's useful to have access to the physical space. Any existing plans or property information are helpful but not required. We'll request any additional details during your consultation.

How are project costs estimated?

Our projects are typically structured as cost-plus — meaning the final cost is based on actual invoices for labour and materials, plus a fixed percentage fee, rather than a predetermined price set at the beginning. This model keeps things transparent and ensures you're never paying for a contractor's risk buffer.

How much does it cost to renovate or build in Whistler?

A rough starting point is around $1,000 per square foot for full renovations or custom builds, though costs vary based on scope, finishes, and site conditions. We provide a detailed consultation and transparent cost-plus pricing so there are no surprises.

Will you stay on budget?

We always aim to stay within your target budget and provide clear, ongoing updates throughout the project. If unexpected conditions arise, we explain the situation immediately so you can decide how to proceed — whether that means scaling back or choosing to invest further.

How long does a Whistler renovation or custom home build take?

Renovation timelines vary by scope. Custom homes in Whistler generally take 12–24 months from start to finish, depending on site complexity, design, and seasonal conditions. We provide a realistic schedule upfront with every estimate.

Will you meet your timelines?

Meeting timelines is a core part of every project. We provide a realistic and attainable schedule with each estimate, and any unforeseen delays are communicated immediately so you're always fully informed.

Do you have an in-house design team?

We work closely with trusted design and architectural firms and can connect you with the right fit for your project. Our team is also trained in CAD drafting and can provide design support when needed.

What is BC Step Code construction?

The BC Energy Step Code is a performance-based energy standard being phased into building codes across BC. It sets progressively higher targets for energy efficiency. We build to Step Code requirements and can advise on which step applies to your project and whether you qualify for CleanBC or BC Hydro rebates.

Do you handle permits and strata approvals?

Yes — we manage municipal permits, strata approvals, and inspections end to end. You don't need to coordinate with the RMOW or other authorities separately; we take care of that as part of the project.

What areas do you serve?

We are based in Whistler, BC and primarily serve the Sea-to-Sky corridor, including Whistler, Pemberton, and Squamish. Contact us to discuss your project location.

Karl reworked the waterproofing on our garage and driveway, and installed beautiful wood and glass railings. He was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and a pleasure to engage with. He arranged all necessary permits and foresaw very well what needed to happen. Most importantly he kept following up until we were absolutely satisfied. Flawless execution and I would absolutely recommend Karl and Golden Spruce.

Karl from Golden Spruce was fantastic to work with to help finish a small strata deck project here in Whistler. He was professional, reliable, and made the whole process smooth even whilst dealing with Strata and an owner together. Karl kept communication clear and was incredibly helpful in ensuring everything was completed on time. Highly recommend him.

Working with Karl really is always a pleasure! His experience shows with organization, clear communication and attention to detail all the way through the building process. A wide skill set also means any drawings and details are changed and documented very quickly keeping efficiency high. I would recommend Karl and his guys for any type of construction.
