said ‘Well, you’ll figure it out.’ I needed some help, so I reached out to my now current business partners, Michael and Jason McCurdy, and we all decided to form Axios Construction.” That was back in 2020. Since then, Axios Construction has worked steadily on the back of repeat business and referrals, mostly from the architects. “We don’t really find or look for clients,” Brant explains. “We get all our work through architects. They find their own clients and they come to us saying ‘We really want you to build this.’ That happens very early on in the process. We work with the client and the architect right from the beginning. Usually the only decision they have really made by the time we’re introduced is they have a site picked out and they have a rough idea of the square footage of the project.” These days, Axios’ projects are typically valued between $3 million and $10 million. According to Brant, the architects behind those high-end jobs enjoy working with Axios because they are a company not afraid of a challenge. “We’re really open to the hard things that they want to try to do,” he says. “In a lot of cases, they are things they haven’t done before. They’re inventing things and creating things because they want to add it to their portfolio, and they’re trying to push the envelope for their own work. And we’re just really open-minded. We’re happy to try to do things that are hard and that people have never done before because we like the challenge.” Brant credits his open-mindedness to his THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA TEAL Architects + Planners provides contemporary architectural services that promote inclusion and sustainability in the built environment.
