YOU WILL LOVE THIS PROPERTY!

Lovely ocean view 3 bedroom rancher on private 1/2 acre property in popular Mill Bay. Close to shopping, Doctors, pharmacy and bank. A great new marina complex is very close and it’s only 30 minutes by commuter bus or scenic drive to Victoria.

Extensive updating including solid 3/4 inch wood ﬂooring and sliding doors out from the master bedroom to a private deck with wiring for a hot tub. The garage is insulated and heated with a workbench and plenty of storage. There is plenty of room for RV or boat storage. Underground wiring from the road is a nice worry free feature. Easy-care living in a terriﬁc area.

Pre Fabricated Wall Systems

Pre Fabricated Wall Systems By choosing pre fabricated wall systems, you can effectively reduce costs associated with labour, time and site waste. They provide builders with a chance to gain a competitive edge, higher proﬁt margins and faster cycle times for construction.

“

We just received and installed a package of pre-fab walls from Victoria Truss and everything went together very well. All of the panels were constructed with quality and they were all very square and true, which made installation fast and easy.

Real Savings • On-site labour required: 20-25% • Building construction schedule (framing stage): 35% • Onsite materials theft (of wall materials): 100% • Framing refuse: 75%

”

- Jeremy, framer

Choose Victoria Truss for all your structural component needs, we will outperform your expectations!
