Chelsea Eyton

Vice President | Co-Owner

Chelsea has been with Capilano Builders since the very beginning—over 10 years—helping grow the company from a small renovation operation into what it is today. With more than 15 years in the residential construction and renovation industry, she leads the operational, financial, and people-focused side of the business that allows great work to happen on site.

Her specialty lies in building the structure behind the scenes: creating clear systems, supporting the right people, and working closely with her business partner to keep projects running smoothly. Chelsea thrives on problem-solving, especially untangling complex situations and finding practical, human solutions for both clients and the team.

She’s most proud of the culture Capilano Builders has built—one rooted in care, respect, and long-term relationships.

Outside of work, Chelsea is a mom who spends as much time as possible outdoors. She loves travelling, skiing, being in nature, and gardening, teaches part-time, coaches softball, and stays active in the community. And when there’s a quiet moment, you’ll likely find her listening to a hilarious podcast and having a good laugh.

Braden Lytle

Construction Manager

With 22 years in the construction industry and nearly 8 years at Capilano Builders, Braden brings both experience and leadership to every project. While he enjoys finish work when he’s belt-on, his current role leans into what he does best—client communication, organization, and keeping projects running smoothly.

Braden loves the renovation process itself: taking a space people already care about and transforming it into something they’ve always wanted. He’s especially proud of helping introduce Buildertrend and building the systems and processes the team relies on every day.

Outside of work, Braden is all about family time, staying active in the gym, and getting outdoors whenever he can.

Operations Manager

With 19 years in the industry and 4 years at Capilano Builders, Trevor brings a steady hand and sharp financial mind to the team. His role ensures that projects stay on track behind the scenes, helping deliver a consistent product and an exceptional experience for every client.

Outside of work, Trevor’s passions are clear: golf, being an Oilers fan, spending time with his wife and two daughters (ages 10 and 12)… and, of course, more golf.
