Qualicum Beach Construction Company Building & Renovating Since 2002
VIP Homes Ltd. is known for its top quality construction
QUALICUM BEACH – Craig Gooding and Cliff Smith were determined to give their customers the VIP Treatment when they opened their construction company over in 2002.

Mission accomplished, as the partners’ VIP Homes Ltd. (Vancouver Island Pacific Homes Ltd.) has carved out a solid reputation for building and renovating homes.
“We each had vast experience with framing construction, roofing, siding and finishing, and we felt we could offer something different that people could rely on,” says Gooding, noting that the owners share management, superintendent, scheduling and paperwork duties in the business.
“Cliff is one of my best friends, and he’s the hardest worker I’ve ever seen,” he says. “He has been such a great business partner to travel this road with. There is nothing that happens in our company that he and I do not discuss.”
VIP Homes Ltd. includes team members Dan Bereska and Scott Heale, who have proven to be great assets for the company.
“Our second greatest assets are our sub-trades, from plumbing, electrical, heating, drywallers, roofers, insulators, truss designers, draftsmen, painters and bookkeepers,” Gooding notes. “We work with some of the most qualified professionals in our area, and without them we would not put out the quality of product that we do.
“Our goal is we want the people we work for to feel safe and have pride about the fact they live in one of our homes, and that they know it was built with passion, pride, skill, and will stand the test of time.”
A National Home Builders Warranty approved builder, VIP homes offers general contracting services, and custom built homes featuring custom carpentry and millwork, and every style from modern homes to Tudor, Cape Cod, to West Coast craftsmen.
“We are spec builders when we have time, customer builders when we meet good clients, and renovators when they fit in,” Gooding states. “We flow with the market, and adjust where it is necessary.
“We take pride in our honesty and our commitment to our clients, whether we are putting a deck on the back of someone’s house, or building a million dollar home,” he adds. “ The reason we are so busy is we take pride in everything we do, and people like to see that.”
“I can’t believe we’ve almost been in business for 20 years,” says Gooding. “Time flies when you’re having fun, and that’s the key to what we do, it even says it on our shirts: ‘We like what we do.’ And if you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong.”
