Our Process

Hey that’s our house! Thanks Joe, Angela and Gillian. We would highly recommend iForest Design and Build for an amazing job! Well done! We couldn’t be happier with the results. Smooth sailing the whole way through and many weeks ahead of schedule. Thanks for accommodating our idiosyncratic tastes and whims along the way, we really appreciate the way you were able to integrate our existing taste and feel while updating the kitchen and bathroom to give a more modern fresh look. Barb and I thoroughly enjoyed your process and the way you kept us updated with detailed progress reports. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with you and we especially love the personal touches. All the best with future projects. Two thumbs up!!

Angela and Gillian are not the first interior designers we have worked with but they are, by far, the best. Angela and Gillian have a unique ability to hone in on their client’s design style. They prepared a layout( which they referred to as a ‘dream board’) that beautifully fused modern with traditional elements, integrated the old with the new and transformed our home into a welcoming statement of who we are. We were amazed at how they were able to find beautiful, unique pieces (elements we would certainly never find on our own) that when brought together always seemed to be “just perfect” and “exactly what we envisioned”. From start to finish Angela and Gillian were always very professional, delivering on time, on budget and above expectation. I am not a person who is easily impressed, but in this case, I am happy to say my expectations were exceeded and I could not recommend iForest Design and Build highly enough.

"We feel so fortunate to have hired Angela and Gillian for our entire ground floor renovation. Let me tell you, renovations can be really tough. But having Gillian and Angela by your side through the whole process really made a world of difference. They are professional, experienced, design super savvy and have a genuine disposition. In no time, you feel like you're working with a good friend who really gets you. They are talented yet humble and really pay close attention to our particular style and taste. They helped us realize our vision for which we are truly grateful. We highly recommend iForest Design and Build and their entire team. We particularly appreciated working with Joe, their contractor who was very responsive and attentive to our needs. You won’t be disappointed.

Gillian and Angela are a delightful pair, they exude warmth and genuine love for their art. As a team they have a unique ability to read people’s needs and this shows in their work/results. They are able to turn a house into a beautiful home. Each room offers an experience where you know every detail has been considered. You will feel fully supported. My first interaction with Angela instilled Confidence and trust in me. She is a long time Vancouver resident with years of experience running her own furniture business. Gillian has a unique ability to read people and see beyond their words and yet has this firecracker strength to get things done effectively and efficiently which allows them to work so beautifully as a Team. I would highly recommend the entire Team at iForest Design and Build.

Angela and Gillian made our home feel like an oasis, and we couldn't be happier. They have a unique ability to bring together ‘old world’ charm with modern flair. Given their diverse backgrounds and talents this is a unique and brilliant combination. They were able to integrate the more classic pieces of furniture with more modern influences using lighting, splashes of colour and specific design skills that we would never have been able to come up with on our own. Gillian did all the sourcing and running around which made the process effortless, efficient and very effective. We were delighted with the entire iForest Team. Joe their contractor is very organized and responsive as well as being incredibly reliable.

"I hired iForest Design and Build to furnish my new townhouse. Angela and Gillian interviewed me to understand my needs and the kind of place I like to live in. They surveyed the new home and designed a set of outcomes for the furnishings. They provided the colour palette for my new home and also picked the furnishings including all the décor, and many other design details ……… One word: Amazing!!! I love my new place and everyone who visits has commented on how beautifully designed it is. Money well spent!!"

"Thanks Angela and Gillian, we really appreciate everything you have done for us. We love your design choices... Your warmth, caring and sense of humor during the renovation process helped us through the rough spots. We couldn't have survived it without you!" Joe is very organized and detail-oriented as well as being incredibly reliable…He represents a high level of professionalism both with the quality of work produced as well as on a personal level.
