Celebrating Novell Design Build's 15 Year Anniversary

Celebrating Novell Design Build's 15 Year Anniversary

On behalf of the entire Novell team, thank you to everyone who has been with us over the years. Congratulations to our incredible Directors, Laurel James and Angelito Camaclang for building such a positive force in our community. Thank you to everyone that has been celebrating Novell Design Build's 15 year anniversary with us!

Laurel James and Angelito Camaclang founded Novell Design Build in 2005 on a belief that homebuilding is done best when every corner of the home is crafted with a Design Build benefit. We continue to provide creative and innovative solutions to match every custom home. Together, Laurel and Angelito have developed an iterative process that keeps the human aspect central. Novell's work wouldn’t be possible without our excellent team, professional colleagues, associations and our local community. Over the last 15 years, Novell Design Build has become the thought leader for Design Build firms and continues to provide meaningful living spaces across Metro Vancouver.

Over the last 15 days, we've been offering behind the scenes insights into some of our previous projects. In celebration of 15 years of Design Build, we will be continuing to update our portfolio with additional Design Build insights.

We are turning our sights on the next 15 years ahead.
