Lá:Lém in the Halq’eméylem language of the Stó:lō people means “house” or “home.”
It reminds us that safety, trust, and belonging begin with how we care for the places we live.

Welcome to Lá:Lém Building Inspections & Consulting

Lá:Lém - Visiting Client

My name is Danny Tourville, and I am a proud member of Moose Cree First Nation in Moose Factory, Ontario. I founded Lá:Lém Building Inspections & Consulting Ltd. to support the housing and infrastructure needs of First Nations across British Columbia and Turtle Island.

Over the years, I’ve heard the same concern come up in Nation after Nation:

“We need a reliable inspector we can trust – someone who understands how we work, and why it matters.” 

That’s why I started Lá:Lém – not just to offer inspections, but to be a trusted partner in your housing and infrastructure planning.

Whether you’re managing a single home or overseeing a Nation’s housing portfolio, I’m here to offer respectful, consistent support.

Lydia Archie – Housing Manager, Cheam First Nation

I work in the housing department for Cheam First Nation and have had Danny view over 20 housing units. Danny is the definition of excellence. He is very professional, obviously well-knowledgeable in the construction of homes, and incredibly friendly. The reports generated were well presented and I would HIGHLY recommend Danny to anyone I know who is looking for a home inspection

Leqamel First Nation
Wendy McDonald – Housing/Operations & Maintenance Manager, Leq’a:mel First Nation

Danny recently did a round of home inspections for Leq’á:mel First Nation and we will be using these reports to apply for renovation funding streams. He was received well by residents, who appreciated the conversations they had with him regarding issues with their homes. Danny listened to their concerns and noted these in his reports. The reports are filled with tons of information, along with photos and a pricing summary for repairs. His reports truly bring things into perspective as to the condition of the home, along with the cost to repair. Danny is friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend using Lá:Lém for your inspection needs.
