Outdoor rooms
that hold together.
Structures that turn a deck or courtyard into a room.
Intro
Considered, custom, built to last.
A pergola is the difference between an outdoor space you occasionally use and one you live in. Sized right, detailed right, integrated with the house properly — it holds together for decades and quietly lifts the value of the property.
Pricing guidance
From $14,000
Custom pergolas typically sit between $14k and $60k depending on span, roof and integration with the house.
Pergolas typically run 2–4 weeks depending on roof system and integration.
Benefits
What you get from CIB.
Integrated with the house
Flashings, gutters, downpipes — properly tied in, not tacked on.
Louvred, slatted or solid roof
We'll help you weigh openness, weatherproofing and cost against how you actually plan to use the space.
Sized to the block
Not too much, not too little. Enough head height, enough eave, enough shade at the right time of day.
Common problems
What we see when others cut corners.
- Pergolas that don't drain properly
- Roofs that trap heat instead of shading
- Structures that overwhelm the yard

Words
Clients on the work.
"Chris was the only builder who told us what our reno was actually going to cost — and then held to the number. Every trade he brought through was excellent. The finish is beyond what we thought was possible in our old cottage."

"We were burned by a builder on our last renovation. CIB was the opposite experience — communication every week, decisions logged, and a finish that looks like a five-star hotel. Worth every dollar."
