Ian Shauer

Project Manager & Red Seal Carpenter

From Business Owner to Nikari Homes Partner

When Ian joined our team in 2021, he brought something you can't teach: 25 years of real-world construction experience and the wisdom that comes from running your own show. For 13 years, Ian operated his own construction company, building new homes and managing projects as an owner/builder. He knows what it's like to have everything on the line with every decision—and that perspective makes him invaluable to our clients.

The Perfect Blend of Skills

What makes Ian unique is his combination of technical mastery and practical problem-solving. As a Red Seal Carpenter, he's got the credentials, but more importantly, he's got the hands-on experience of framing countless homes across the Lower Mainland. When challenges arise on-site (and they always do), Ian doesn't just manage the problem—he rolls up his sleeves and solves it.

His background in electronics has proven to be a game-changer for our luxury smart home projects. While other project managers might struggle with the technical integration of modern home systems, Ian speaks both languages—traditional construction and cutting-edge technology.

Your Direct Line to the Project

Ian handles our project budgets and serves as your primary point of contact throughout construction. He's the guy who'll answer your calls, address your concerns, and keep you informed every step of the way. Having run his own company, he understands that communication isn't just about updates—it's about peace of mind.

You'll see Ian on-site regularly, ensuring every detail meets our standards. His approach is collaborative but decisive, building strong relationships with our trade partners while keeping projects moving forward efficiently.

Beyond the Build Site

When Ian's not managing projects, you'll find him recharging on camping trips, casting a line in local rivers, or exploring new destinations. He believes that fresh perspectives and time in nature fuel creativity and problem-solving—qualities that show up in his work every day.

The Ian Difference

With Ian managing your project, you're getting more than a project manager—you're getting a seasoned professional who's been in your shoes, understands the investment you're making, and is committed to delivering results that exceed your expectations.
