Marine Transport
Our own barge and crane equipment delivers docks to places most builders can't reach — remote islands, steep shorelines, deep tidal inlets, and properties with no road access.
Dock Installation & Delivery Across British Columbia
We barge, crane, and install custom aluminum docks anywhere on the B.C. coast — including remote islands and sites with no road access.
We Handle the Heavy Lifting
Getting a dock to your waterfront is often the hardest part of the project. CoastMetalWorks takes care of everything — from site assessment and permitting guidance to marine transport and final installation of your custom aluminum floating dock and ramp or gangway.
Professional Installation
Our crew handles anchoring, leveling, piling attachment, and securing. Everything is aligned, tensioned, and checked against your site's tidal range before we hand it over.
Province-Wide Service
From our Sunshine Coast shop to Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, Desolation Sound, and northern B.C. — if it's a B.C. waterfront, we deliver and install there.
Built for Remote & Water-Access Sites
If your property is only reachable by boat, that's exactly what we're built for. We deliver by water using our own marine equipment, so even the most remote shoreline can have a dock — set up and ready to use.
- Our own barge and crane — no waiting on third-party marine contractors
- Remote islands, steep shorelines and deep tidal inlets
- Large builds assembled in the water when they are too big to move whole
- Every install checked against your site's tidal range before handover
From Shop to Shoreline — Our Process
One team from first site visit to final walkthrough.
Site assessment
We review your shoreline, water depth, tidal swing, and access — on-site or from photos and charts for remote locations — to design a dock that fits your conditions.
Design & fabrication
Your dock is custom-built in aluminum at our Sunshine Coast shop, typically ready in 4–6 weeks after materials arrive.
Permitting guidance
We help you navigate dock management planning and provincial approvals so your installation is fully above-board.
Marine transport
We barge your dock to site, including locations accessible only by water.
Installation
Our crew anchors, levels, and secures everything on-site, assembling larger builds in the water where needed.
Handover
We walk the finished dock with you and make sure it's ready to use for years.

- Sunshine Coast
- Howe Sound
- Jervis Inlet

Common Questions About Dock Installation & Delivery
Can you install on a site with no road access?
Yes. Our barge-and-crane setup is designed for exactly that — remote islands and shorelines other companies turn down.
What does installation include?
Anchoring, leveling, piling attachment and securing the dock, plus on-site assembly when a build is too large to transport whole. We check everything against your site's tidal range and walk the finished dock with you.
Do I need a permit for my dock?
Most B.C. waterfronts require dock management planning approval. We'll guide you through what's needed for your location.
How far do you deliver?
Throughout British Columbia — from the Sunshine Coast to Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, and up the coast.
How long does installation take?
Fabrication runs about 4–6 weeks once materials arrive; on-site installation is typically completed in a day or two, depending on size and access.
