Ward Engineering & Land Surveying Ltd. was founded in 1996 by Peter Ward. Since then, we have provided the legal surveying services for numerous urban and rural subdivisions. In many cases, we also design the civil infrastructure the subdivision requires in order to prepare the new lots for market. This comprehensive range of services allows us to provide a complete package of development services to our clients. With both legal survey and civil engineering disciplines in-house, we are able to provide technical and management services from initial concept through cost estimating, permitting and approvals, construction, cost tracking and project completion. At each step of a project, the close communication between the legal survey and engineering disciplines available within Ward Engineering & Land Surveying Ltd. ensures that subdivision and infrastructure designs will meet all regulatory requirements. We work closely with regulatory agencies to make certain that all work is correctly approved and permitted.

Stand out and settle in: personalize your space

You’ve finally found the home of your dreams, but interior design-wise, something isn’t quite right. You want your space to feel comfortable, inviting, and inspiring, but you don’t quite know how to improve the energy in your home and preserve your personal aesthetic. After all, you deserve rooms that are an extension of your life and style.

Custom window treatments and soft furnishings like curtains, blinds, and cushions are much the same as the accessories that finish an outfit and take it to the next level. But when it comes to your space, you’re unsure where to start. It’s easy for you to feel overwhelmed when it comes to fabric choices, or stifled by the drab generic options that big-box stores offer—and the least expensive options usually mean you sacrifice quality and durability. You’re tired of suffering in a sad, uninspired, or impersonal living space and you’re ready for an upgrade. 

Kootenay Interiors understands that you’re looking for something unique that fits your style. You may already have a vision, and just need the right professional to source, design, and execute from start to finish. Browse our social media channels and check out the online shop, then call or email for a free quote on making your space one-of-a-kind.

Bringing your design ideas to life

I’m Sue Scott, founder and creative director of Kootenay Interiors; I specialize in providing professional consultations and expert advice to discerning owners like you who are looking to put a special stamp on your living, vacation, or business space. Together, we will curate and design beautiful, effortlessly executed custom window treatments and soft furnishings, including curtains, drapes, roman blinds, cushions, and pillows.

I’ve been designing and creating window coverings and soft furnishings for over 30 years. You’ll be delighted with my extensive experience and enthusiasm in choosing styles, colours, and textures to create the perfect look to refine any space—on time, and within budget. I hold an Interior Decoration Diploma, specializing in traditional custom window treatment techniques that refine any room.
