About us
At Naikoon, luxury is not an aesthetic - it’s the quality of the experience itself. From the earliest idea to the moment we hand you the keys, we create a process that is transparent, refined, and deeply personal.
Awards & Achievements
Approach
At Naikoon, we translate your vision and architect’s drawings into your new home. We believe that true luxury lies in the quality of your experience, starting from the pre-construction phase to occupancy, and extends after you move in.
Drawing on 46 years of craftsmanship and experience, we work in close partnership with you and your design team to preserve design integrity, protect your investment, and provide confidence in every decision. Our uncompromising commitment to craft, quality, and resource stewardship means every detail is executed with expertise and care.
The result is a meticulously executed, one-of-a-kind home, built with intention for the life you aspire to live.
This is How We Build.
Values
Happy
We want to work with people who have a smile on their face, are willing to give the benefit of the doubt, and are generally happy to do what they’re doing. It makes for more enjoyable project sites—with fewer egos and less drama.
Honest
Facts drive good decisions and build trust. It’s not about telling you what you want to hear, but providing an honest, credible opinion that moves things forward.
Inspired
We’re creating something together—and that’s pretty cool. Whether it’s a brand new home or a renovation, the future is full of potential, and we can’t wait to build it with you.
Committed
With a professional team in the field and in the office, we have the capacity and integrity to do the job right.
Collaborative
If there’s a job to do—we pitch in and contribute. We’re also advocates of early collaboration; we prefer to work together than stay in silos determined by discipline or project phase.
History
Terry Geluch founded Naikoon Contracting Ltd in August 1980 in Masset, Haida Gwaii. His son, Joe Geluch, relaunched the business in February 2010 and continues to lead the firm out of our North Vancouver headquarters.
Innovation. Integrity. Craft.
We started Naikoon as craftspeople; carpenters obsessed with delivering quality products. As we worked, we recognized the dysfunction of the construction industry and its inability to drive value for our clients. Integrity compelled us to innovate. We brought on specialists, invested in the future, and offered more services in-house. Now, we are construction managers and custom home builders, utilizing modern methods of construction to deliver better results.
I started working for my dad’s company at the age of six. The summers of my childhood and youth were spent on Haida Gwaii totally consumed by construction. I loved it. As my passion for carpentry and business grew each summer, I never once had to consider what I was going to do for a living–this was it.

Relationships
We believe that great work starts with strong relationships. In this life, you can’t do everything yourself, so we focus on our specialities and bring in experts for everything else. We aspire to work with the best architects, consulting partners, and subtrades, aligning for client preference, project fit, requirements, and reputation. This is our approach, whether you are an architect bringing a home owner and project to us, whether you are a home owner who has already selected an architect, or whether you would like us to recommend an architect to make your dream home real.
