Curriculum Vitae

Glenn Duxbury, QAO,

Technical Specialist, Master Inspector

I worked in the renovation and construction industry for a number of years after completing high school in 1975 and some post-secondary education at the Pacific Vocational Institute and the British Columbia Institute of Technology (“BCIT”).  

Over many years since the late 1970’s, I have renovated and added-on to the family home in New Westminster.

Friends and neighbours would come to me with needs and seeking answers for their own needs and continue to do so.

Eventually, my career led to working in Property Management, which I did for some 12 years from the late 1980’s, until 2000.  In this capacity, I continually learned from engaging trades and technicians for the portfolio of properties I was responsible for.  I also began documenting deficiencies on a large range of homes, strata properties and commercial buildings.

In 2002, after earning my Certification through the Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of British Columbia (“ASTTbc”) as a Certified Home Inspector (“ASTTbc-PI”), after my required BCIT training, I opened Glenn Duxbury & Associates-Building Inspection and Consulting. 

This is a professional business wholly-owned by me and all work completed by the firm has been done under my supervision.  The Business was Incorporated in 2013 and thus became Duxbury & Associates-Building Inspection and Consulting Ltd.

I have provided a broad scope of services to property-buyers, building-buyers and home owners, etc. over the many years as a Property Consultant including Quality-Control, Home and Building Investigations, Trouble-Shooting Problems and Worries, Warranty-Checks, Documentation for Litigation, Deciphering Reports, Project and Renovation-Planning, Quality-Assurance, Evaluations of Completed Work (claimed, but not verified), Assistance to Legal Counsel (including expert witness testimony), as well as Inspections for Property Buyers and Sellers.

Over these more recent years, I have also worked closely with Professional Engineers and at least one Professional Quantity Surveyor (PQS), assisting them with collecting data in the field, on a number of important investigations for formal Reports to be rendered.

I have served for many years on the Board of my professional association – since 2003 as a Director-at-large, Secretary /Treasurer and most recently as Vice-President since 2006.  

I have written articles and have been published – Vancouver Sun and other print media, such as Business in Vancouver and Black Press.   I have also been repeatedly interviewed for CBC Television and Radio [CKNW & CBC] as an ‘Expert’ on renovation issues, as a property /real estate Consultant.

I am also an independent Quality-Assurance Inspector.  Projects have included both Universities in Metro Vancouver, numerous public and private Schools across the region, Casinos, numerous Hospitals, community & recreation centres, shopping malls, fire halls, an Art gallery, a new library, recreational campgrounds, the Interior Health authority, seniors’ housing facilities, the New Westminster Law Courts and Vancouver International Airport (YVR).  Past clients include the Gizeh Temple Building Society, numerous property management companies and their managers, Law firms, Co-Op and Strata administrations, the Girl Guides organization, Global BC TV Studios, RCMP, DHL Express, BCAA, Vancouver Park Board, E.A. Sports, BCIT, UBC, SFU, Fortis BC, BC Hydro, City of Burnaby, City of Vancouver, Comox Valley Regional District, Air Canada, Translink, YVR, Zymeworks Labs, numerous School Boards and Health care authorities.

RECOGNIZED SKILLS

I have prepared detailed reports for litigation, warranty and deficiency purposes and also deciphering big Reports for Strata Corporations and Co-Op Boards with their needs as administrators.

I have previously been accepted as an expert witness by the Provincial Court(s) and Supreme Court of British Columbia, as well.  Several specialties include drywall finishing and stucco finishing, as well as other exterior claddings, commercial kitchens and concrete.

    The Society gives children who would not otherwise have the opportunity to take a Summer camping vacation, the chance to participate in a camping trip at one of its three (3) B.C. locations. Through our support, deserving children get to participate in the well-established program. We are proud to support this worthwhile cause.
