Douglas Homes
Douglas Manufactured Homes Ltd., established in 1988, exports
high quality 2x4 panelized homes from Vancouver, British
Columbia.
2x4 and 2x6 wood panels and framing components form the basis of
complete home package systems that can be quickly and efficiently
constructed on site. In addition to houses, Douglas Homes
manufactures duplexes, apartments, condominiums and small
commercial buildings of exceptional quality and design.
Douglas Homes manufactures panelized housing components and
trusses using only kiln dried #2 or Better Canadian SPF
(Spruce/Pine/Fir) dimensional lumber. Floor joists and roof
rafters are also precut. Douglas Homes numbers and colour-codes
each building component for easy assembly on site.
Customers may choose from our selection of standard house plans
or have Douglas Homes custom-build according to your plans and
specifications. Advanced Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) software
and state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment enables Douglas
Homes to prepare and ship a typical 140 m2 (1,500 ft2) complete
home package in just five weeks from time of order. The basic
house can be assembled to lock-up by four carpenters, using a
crane, in only 4 to 6 days. To facilitate construction, a site
supervisor can be provided to instruct the construction crew when
building the first house.
The level of finish depends on each customer's needs and budget.
Our Customer Service Representatives help each customer to
choose from a wide variety of quality finishing materials
including windows, doors, cabinets, flooring, interior and
exterior wall finishing material, and roofing material. Douglas
Homes also offers the patented Anti-Rakker earthquake
protection device. Testing at the University of British Columbia
proved that shear walls braced with the Anti-Rakker system last
nearly three times longer then conventionally braced 2x4 walls in
a major earthquake.
In September 1996, Mark T. Ando was honoured as a 1996 Emerging
Award Finalist - Pacific Region by the Entrepreneur of the Year
Institute and Douglas Homes earned further Recognition in
November 1996 by receiving a B.C. Export Award from the British
Columbia provincial government for Douglas Homes' excellence and
innovation in marketing and exporting B.C. products.
We encourage customers to visit the Douglas Homes' showroom and
head office. Communication in English, Japanese and Chinese is
available.
