Longhouse Specialty Forest Products was founded in 1982 by husband-and-wife team Brian and Moila Jenkins. Primarily based in Parksville, BC with a sawmill operation in Prince George, the company manufactures everything from heavy timbers and sidewall shingles to interior products, using all softwood species grown in British Columbia. As well, they have a pre-staining/finishing plant where they can apply all types of non-toxic coatings including fire retardants. Longhouse Specialty Forest Products were one of the first group of BC companies certified in 2007. The Vancouver Island Construction Association has awarded Longhouse as the manufacturer/supplier of the year in 2019 and 2021.

The Building
What sets Longhouse apart from their competitors is that they only sell directly to construction projects, no matter where they are in the world. As well, they are in charge of all aspects and facets of the manufacturing from log to pre-staining finished products ready for installation – all of which is done on the same property in Parksville. This has two advantages: first, it reduces the carbon footprint significantly as the product travels a shorter distance during manufacturing. Secondly, it reduces the cost of producing products. Instead of being sub-contracted out with each process adding its margin, the price stays lean. Examples of Longhouse projects include all the cedar for the 7 Longhouses that make up the Haida Gwaii Museum in Skidegate, Haida Gwaii; the new Tseliteh community building in North Vancouver; and recently they have been invited to work with the Vancouver Art Gallery, which will be entirely clad in coated and fire treaded lumber profiles. Many of the company’s employees have now worked there for over 20 years. They also have a loyal client base, with many going back to 1985. Longhouse Specialty Forest Products are proud members of BC Wood Specialties Group, the Living Building Challenge, PASSIVEHOUSE CANADA and HAVAN.
