Who is GNAR Inc?

GNAR Inc by definition is Global Network Agency Resource Incorporated and was co-founded by Edgar Dearden in 2016.  He wanted to create a company that keeps Mother Nature top of mind when designing homes. 

At GNAR Inc we have the skill set to incorporate architectural and structural drawings together in one neat 3D BIM model.  This ensures a fully coordinated set of drawings that are used for permit applications and construction.  This allows the builder and all consultants on a project to understand every detail before breaking ground.  Our skilled Architectural Technicians are able to create a 3D BIM model and bring your home design to life allowing for a seamless interactive experience.  

At GNAR Inc we are aware of the serious impact architecture has on the world and the consequences for the environment.  Our goal is to make positive change through considerate sustainable design.

Why Work With GNAR Inc?

Partnering with local builders and municipalities, we support clients through every stage of their project. From conceptual design and permit applications to budget planning and navigating legal requirements.  We bring your vision to life, whether it’s a new custom home, renovation, or interior design.

At GNAR Inc, we’re committed to integrating the latest eco-friendly building technologies, ensuring that every decision we make reduces environmental impact and supports a greener future. We have had the pleasure of working alongside remarkable clients on a range of unique projects, though we believe the real test of a building’s success is how well it continues to perform over time.

At GNAR, we craft architecture that harmonizes with the mountain environment we call home, reflecting both our clients’ unique tastes and BC’s breathtaking natural beauty. By using innovative, eco-friendly materials, we ensure every project meets BC’s Energy Step Code and stands as a testament to sustainable design.

The team at GNAR was able to deliver in 4 months what we were unable to achieve in 2.5 years with the previous designer and RMOW.

We worked with GNAR to design our complex property; they are professional, knowledgable and a pleasure to work with. We made it through the 3 year process without a moment of regret!

GNAR recently helped us with our resubmittal process, we worked with Luke on this package, he was very thorough and professional. At the time we were having issues with the building department, Luke was able to get it modelled, put together the BP package resubmittal and have it submitted in under 2 weeks, we were successful in the resubmittal and were able to close out the permit. Looking forward to working with GNAR on the next project.
