Renovation & Design-Build on Gambier Island

Ferguson Brothers Contracting Ltd. is an owner-run design-build renovation contractor serving Gambier Island. We handle renovations, framing, decks, hardscape, and finish carpentry — with the logistics of a remote island build planned in — under one plan and one point of accountability.

What Gambier Island Homeowners Hire Us For

Gambier Island is a remote build, and that's exactly why planning matters most here. We take on renovations, additions, framing, decks and stairs, hardscape, concrete, and finish carpentry, with access and servicing worked out before the first day on site.

The full list is on our services page — renovations, framing, decks and stairs, excavation and site work, hardscape, concrete, and finish carpentry.

Building on Gambier Island

Gambier has no vehicle ferry — access is by passenger ferry and by private boat or barge for materials, equipment, and crew. Many properties are off-grid, relying on their own power, water, and septic. None of that is a barrier; it just has to be planned properly.

Gambier sits within the Islands Trust planning area, and building permits and inspections are administered through the applicable regional authority — we confirm the current requirements for your specific property before any work begins, and build the logistics into the schedule so a remote site stays a manageable one.
