Building with
Pride & integrity

Every build begins with a Strong foundation.

We believe that a strong relationship is the best foundation for any new project or home. Getting to know our clients isn’t just what motivates us—it is also the spark for many of our creative ideas. Our goal is to make the entire construction process seamless, stress-free, and enjoyable. At the end of the day, we want you to love working with us just as much as you love the end results. We deliver on this promise by putting focus on communication and honouring your trust with quality craftsmanship, backed by decades of experience and a Certified Home Warranty.

WHAt We Do Differently

There are no shortages of general contractors to choose from in the Comox Valley so to keep it easy, here is a quick overview of what makes us unique to help you determine whether we’re the right general contractor for the job.

  • We pride ourselves in offering friendly, approachable, and reliable service. We are firm believers that the key to a successful build is a strong relationship between builder and homeowner, so we promise to show up authentically from day one. If you like what you see in that first meet, you can trust us to deliver an exceptional home building experience.

  • We never forget that your home is the most important thing to you. That's why we work hard to ensure that every detail of your new house is designed and built with the utmost care and attention to quality. We take pride in our craftsmanship and commitment to excellence because we know how important it is for your home to be built just right.

  • At Thyssen de Goede Developments, we're experienced in all facets of home building. Our team has a robust knowledge and skillset, with expertise in everything from foundations and framing to finishing and exterior siding. Our well-rounded approach to the construction services we offer often goes unmatched and is something we take great pride in.

  • Working with us means you can rest easy because we offer Home Warranty Insurance, which provides new home warranty insurance protection that meets or exceeds the requirements of the Homeowner Protection Act. To become a Licensed Residential Builder, we first needed to meet high standards of accountability in the areas of finance, construction, and customer satisfaction.

Carpentry is in our DNA.

Owner, Thyssen de Goede, started in the construction industry as young as they come. His father and mentor, Hans de Goede, owned and operated the Victoria Truss Plant based in Cobble Hill/Cumberland, where he spent most of his teenage years working during the summer. Thyssen graduated from GP Vanier Secondary in the Comox Valley, where he grew a passion for carpentry… and rugby!

Thyssen began his rugby career at GP Vanier, moving on to play with the U19 National team, and later progressing to play on the Men’s National Sevens and Fifteen Aside teams. He is also a very proud James Bay Athletic Association alumni! While Thyssen was pursuing his passion for rugby, he was also committed to growing his carpentry skills, becoming a Red Seal ticketed carpenter. Eventually, Thyssen’s strong ties to the Valley brought him back home, where he started to build a family, and this business.

Now, the soon-to-be father of two is proud to bring the same level of focus and dedication to his leadership role at Thyssen de Goede Developments as he did on the rugby pitch.

  • "Thyssen and his crew renovated our 1920s farm house into a modern comfortable home, highly knowledgeable, respectful and responsive. Cant go wrong with this company 10/10 would recommend."

    Nathan Haigh

    Corrinne & Neville Elliott

  • “Last year I embarked on putting a suite into my basement…with the help of Thyssen and the Oak and Arrow team…they took my little space and turned it into a palace! Every step of the way…there was great communication and collaboration, great ideas on ways to save on costs or improve function for a renter, and all work was done on time, with professional finishing, and stellar results. It was so fantastic to find a company that I had total trust in and handled literally everything from start to finish. Thankyou Oak and Arrow!!!”

    Trish & Dan

  • "I loved working with Thyssen and his crew. They are so easy to work with and made our project run really smoothly. The clinic was a quick turn around renovation and not only were they on time finishing but they went above and beyond to ensure it was the best quality. Thyssen was very easy to communicate with and always had a solution to make the project budget but also meet the design esthetics that I wanted. Strongly recommend working with Thyssen and his guys."

    Cleo Tetrault

  • "Thyssen took us on short notice and accommodated us instantly, organizing the excavation, forming and pouring our footings and foundation. Great guy to deal with and most handsome crew in the valley!"
