Lowell oversaw our new house build, ably navigating the tricky ins and outs through the RDN paperwork, latest codes and newest rules. His professional manner, his calm demeanor and his insightful vision came together to help us create a home we are very pleased with. The high quality trades people he works with and recommends created a worksite that was respectful and calm, and gave us confidence the home would be sound and of good quality. We certainly benefited by having Lowell steward the process, and we... without hesitation....happily recommend him.

Ken Bentowski

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Lowell Shaver and Streamside Homes on several projects since 2021, and each experience has been positive. Lowell is not only a certified home builder with deep expertise—he’s also someone who genuinely cares about the quality and integrity of his work. We entrusted Streamside Homes with a significant renovation of a rental property. Lowell worked closely with the Town of Qualicum Beach to create a fully serviced one-bedroom and den suite. His attention to detail, knowledge of local regulations, and ability to manage the project from start to finish made all the difference. Lowell takes great pride in his work. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Streamside Homes to anyone looking for a builder who’s not only skilled but also a pleasure to work with.
