Ed Valik is founder and owner of iBuildPdx COMPANY LLC -
a general contractor and talented builder with a passion for details.
Ed and his team complete projects that are extraordinary. His
architectural background helps him understand both sides of the
building process, resulting in a finished project that embodies the
vision of both the client and the designing architect. Unique, complex
projects are our specialty. His meticulous execution skills are
perfect for modern-styled homes, as well as those with traditional
architecture. He excels at projects with terrain challenges, such as
infill lots and steep hillsides, and he works well within a project's
timeline and budget.
After receiving an Associate Degree in Architecture and Structural
Design in Zlin, Czechoslovakia in 1985, he defected from Eastern
Europe right after finishing school. Ed lived in Vienna, Austria, then
Vancouver, British Columbia for a few years before moving to Portland,
Oregon in 1992.
Architecture, construction and real estate have always been his
passions. Working in architectural offices, HA Simons in Vancouver and
William Wilson Architects in Portland, makes him a better builder and
general contractor. Ed understands the importance of great design,
proper execution of it and the extremely important relationship
between owner, architect and the general contractor.
Ed's work has received wide recognition, including the Gold Nugget
Award of Merit for the Canterbury residence.
