OUR ORIGINS
It’s hard to believe that we’ve been building and renovating homes in the Vancouver area for over 37 years, but we have. We love living and working in our ‘little piece of the world’ and think fondly of everyone who we have worked with in the past.
Starting Out
After a downturn in his ambition to be a heavy duty mechanic, Sandro started out working with Cheri’s father doing cedar shake roofing, and never looked back. He found that he was very good and it and because of his strong communication skills was asked to be a liaison between the cedar shake industry and the government.
He knew that he had a passion for building homes and that he had a natural talent for construction. He was fortunate to find a mentor, Bob Jones, who has since become a lifelong friend. Very early in his career, he finished numerous building and renovation projects and quickly became recognized as the ‘go to guy’ in the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows communities.
Building homes in Vancouver
In 2011, we made the move to become ‘little fish in the big pond’, that is the Vancouver area. We wanted to be associated with reputable, professional builders so we joined the Home Builders Association of Vancouver, known as HAVAN.
Our very first home built in Vancouver was a very ‘emotional’ build. It was Sandro's grandfather's property, and, in his honour, we built a home for multi-generational living. This extra-special home project earned us our first Provincial Georgie award.
The Future
Now we are growing but monitor our growth carefully, on purpose. We have watched a lot of companies grow too large, too quickly, ending up with some huge problems. We never want to sacrifice the personal service that we provide. That is very important to us!
It’s challenging to keep up with our growth, and eventually we want to mentor the right person to take over the company. Whoever that is, they will have to have the same pride for this company as we do.
Our reputation and personalized service are so important to us, even if it means we stay as a little fish!
