they can actively advocate for more-efficient solutions that work for the client’s budget. One thing the company has proven is that they can be trusted. In just a few years in Revelstoke, Cameron believes he’s formed a reputation in the city for being reliable and honest. “Brutal honesty,” he says, “that’s how I’ve built my reputation. I think people know that I’m not full of it. I hear some nightmare stories about other builders, and I never want to hear those stories about me. I want to do things differently.” As an example, Cameron says he hears a lot about builders “going crazy over budget.” He believes it’s the responsibility of both the architect and the builder not to let that happen. “You have to be up front with people from the get-go. You have to be brutally honest, like I said – even though some people might not like that. I think I’ve lost quite a few jobs because of it, but I can live with that. I prefer to work with people who want to have all their cards on the table all the time. That way we can always make the best move when the time comes.” THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA Photo: Laura Szanto Photography
