Our Philosophy

Building with integrity and commitment.

InSight’s philosophy has and will always be to create diversity, not cookie-cutter developments. The guiding principle InSight adheres to is that the homes and communities we design truly reflect the sensibility and lifestyle of the people who live here.
Building on our in-house experience, InSight partners with local professionals including contractors, architects, designers, engineers and building envelope consultants to ensure quality at every phase of construction.

InSight also believes its commitment to the Nanaimo Region extends beyond the surveyor’s stakes. This is why we invest so heavily in landscaping and environmental design around our developments as well as why we go over and above with donations towards city parks, public art and ornamental refinements to help beautify the roadways leading into our communities. Nurturing the island community and preserving its breathtaking beauty are values that guide InSight at every stage of development.

Being a good neighbour also plays a significant role in InSight's thinking. We feel strongly that enhancing our communities should involve surrounding neighbourhoods - one reason we donated over $2 million towards the Oliver Woods Community Centre, a public recreation facility everyone can enjoy. Why do people love living in Nanaimo? Everyone has their own reasons. We love it here, too. This is our home. We understand what it is. And we’re proud to play a part in what it can become.
