Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

About

PROFILE Our team is a collection of formally trained designers and builders that operates in Winnipeg MB. We have pioneered an approach to realizing projects that is unique to the industry. We have developed a fondness for the details, materials and processes of construction and have long been aware of the frustrations and complications of having others build a design that they may not fully commit to. For this reason we have built a system that has nurtured our designers into competent and professional builders who are comfortable and excited to think and operate "outside of the box". We are committed to the details that we design into our projects and appreciate the opportunity to be fully involved in helping them physically come to life at a 1:1 scale. Our knowledge of contemporary construction practices and cutting edge fabrication technologies ensures that we design economically within the limitations of our budgets while appreciating materials and designing specific to the tools that are economically available within the field. For us, design is building and building is design, we feel strongly that at the residential scale the two have very little distinction. APPROACH Design-built works closely with our clients to help deliver your dream project in as cost effective of a manner as possible. We facilitate all aspects of the design and construction process offering complimentary and streamlined services in design, project management, and build. We have developed a highly transparent pricing structure that nurtures an honest and comforting dialogue throughout the course of a project. If you are in the market to do something special at any scale of design please do get in touch. We'd be excited to let you know more about our process as it relates to your specific project. We are always excited to meet new clients and discuss the projects that you have in mind.

What to check before you hire

Worth checking yourself
Only a few public reviews are shown. Ask for recent references you can contact.
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.
Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire.
A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
