Testimonials
Quiet confidence, earned project by project.
My husband and I are so pleased with the work Sanj has done. We built it as an investment property, but seeing the finished product, we're now looking for land to build for ourselves.
Alex Kotai
Private Client
Sanj and Dan were patient with every question we had through the design process. Icon also handled renovations on our previous home — start to finish, simply excellent.
Shelly Hansal
Custom Home Owner
The workmanship was excellent and the work was completed ahead of schedule. Great work all around — a big thank you to Sanj and his team.
Adam Dorosh
Renovation Client
From the first site meeting to the day we got our keys, Icon was communicative, precise, and honest. The craftsmanship genuinely exceeded what we'd hoped for.

View on Instagram: We're comparing two homes in Burnaby — a brand new multiplex at Coldicutt and a pre-owned 1955 home.
View on Instagram: Most people don't realise how much your address affects your health — walkable neighbourhoods make daily movement automatic.
View on Instagram: This can't be built in Burnaby anymore — not a design choice but a bylaw restriction.
View on Instagram: Most people think they're choosing between two homes — the real choice is what each one will cost you over the next twenty years.
View on Instagram: Nobody talks about this when you're buying a home — you'll see the finishes, but not what's behind them.
