The Construction Source

THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA renovations and additions. Their projects can vary greatly in size and value, anywhere from $500,000 to $5 million. According to Les, the company has grown to the point where they can be somewhat selective about what they take on, and the price of the project is truly not their main concern. “Our focus is on working with good people on good projects,” he says. “The size doesn’t matter to us. It’s about the quality of the construction. It’s about making sure the home not only looks good, but that the bones behind the building are strong, that it will last for generations. That’s what we care about. That’s what we look for in our projects.” They also look for clients that share the company’s passion, he adds. They want clients who want to live in a healthy home, and who are at least open to the company’s ideas about energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. If a client doesn’t care how efficient their home is, or how much energy it takes to operate, they are likely not the best fit. At the same time, the company also welcomes clients who have their own ideas. In fact, they encourage clients to be vocal and opinionated, as they enjoy building homes that are “very personal, and very specific to the client and their lifestyle.” Their team likes the challenge of sitting down with a client, learning about their wants, needs, and priorities, and turning that knowledge into a building product that will achieve all their dreams. “One of the most rewarding aspects of our work is when a client shares what is important to them and we make it happen,” Les says. “If someone walks through the door and is just looking to do a flip – to build something as quickly and inexpensively as possible for a quick resell – that does not align with what we’re good at and what we’re set up to do. We’re here to build dream homes. We want to make people’s dreams come true.”
