Industry Leaders

• No other company offers the full range of products and institutes the staff training that we do.
• Basically, we specialize in the hard stuff. So why would anyone in their right mind specialize in difficult projects? The construction industry is constantly changing and evolving. What is common practice today may be completely different tomorrow. We want to be on the cutting edge of the industry, not just waiting for someone else to work out solutions to issues that may arise in the industry.
• We participate in formulating industry standards and policies through our participation in a number of industry organizations.

Professional

• We make ourselves accountable.
• BBB accredited
• Members of industry organizations which enforce standards of practice, including the Vancouver Island Construction Association and Canadian Homebuilders Association.
• We are not just someone on the end of a cell phone, we have an office, factory and a full staff, and we are committed to the business. We are a professional service corporation and not just an individual who does the work. We have trained personnel who backup other staff members in case of sickness, injury or vacation. Your home will be serviced as promised without exception.
• We are in business for the long term.
