and we’re all looking to grow together and encourage each other and help each other be better versions of ourselves.” Jason’s company – previously known as Laverdiere Builders – officially became Alair Homes Swift Current almost two years ago, in 2022. Since then, Jason says the business has grown by leaps and bounds. They are taking on more projects, their projects have gotten bigger, and they have formed a lot of great new relationships with trades and subcontractors. “At my old company, we did all of the work – from foundations, to framing, to dry-walling, to painting, to cabinet install,” Jason says. “We were pretty good at all of it, but we weren’t experts at anything in particular. Now we focus more on general contracting and we only work with experts. We hire and work with subcontractors that are extremely proficient in what they do.” “When we hire a drywaller, that’s all he does – he does the drywall, and he’s really good at it,” he continues. “The same goes for all the other trades. Instead of guys who know how to do everything, we have guys who specialize in their trade, which in turn provides a better product for our clients. Our role is to now manage those trades and provide them with the best environment to succeed.” Geographically, Jason and his team work within about an hour-and-a-half radius of Swift Current. In terms of value, their projects can range anywhere from a bathroom or kitchen renovation starting at $10,000 to a new custom-built home valued up to $4 million. No matter the scope of OCTOBER 2024
