Urban Roots Build Co.

Let’s give a warm welcome to our newest member, Urban Roots Build Co., and co-founders Grant Gibson and Mark Nowotny.

Urban Roots brings over 30 years of experience building and renovating homes, and was founded on a no pressure, client-first philosophy. They bring a design-build approach that supports projects from concept through completion.

With Grant based here on Pender, their team takes a thoughtful and professional approach to their work. That is something that’s always valued in our community.

They’ve also stepped in as a Champion member, helping support the work of the Chamber and the broader business community at our highest level.

This kind of support makes a real difference.

The finishing touches are underway on this Pender Island build, and we couldn't be prouder of how it's come together.

With our Co-Founder Grant based on the island pretty much full-time at this point, every project here feels less like a job and more like an addition to the community. This full custom home build project epitomizes that feeling. Seeing it look like this now after it being an empty lot mere months ago brings a special feeling that never gets old.

As we wrap this one up, our books are opening for new project intake on Pender. If you've been thinking about a custom build or renovation, now's a great time to reach out. Give Grant a call at 778-240-5540 or shoot him an email at [email protected]. We're always happy to chat, no strings attached.

After years of planting deep roots on Pender Island, Urban Roots is proud to officially join the Pender Island Chamber of Commerce.

With our Co-Founder Grant effectively a full-time Penderite at this point, overseeing all of the projects on the island, saying Pender Island holds a special place in our hearts would be an understatement. Officially joining the Chamber has been a long time coming. and we couldn't be more excited.

Through all of our work on Pender, we've had the privilege of becoming the island's most experienced builders. Urban Roots was built on the simple idea of being no pressure, relaxed, and client-first. If you've been thinking of doing a custom home or renovation, give Grant a call at 778-240-5540 or shoot him an email at [email protected]. We are always happy to talk about your project - no strings attached!

There's nothing quite like wrapping up a project on Pender Island.

This custom home on Pender is one we're especially proud of - we had the pleasure of taking this from planning on an empty lot all the way to a beautiful finished product.

With Grant based on the island practically full-time, we're lucky enough to be embedded in the Pender community in a way that most builders aren't. Every project here feels personal.
