On Tuesday May 19th we will be 100% open for business as we resume site visits and measuring activities for new projects. We will be providing our full range of services with newly implemented safe and responsible business practices.

We have all faced unprecedented challenges over the past few months.  As business owners, we have taken some time to reflect and focus on improving our business practices in almost every way in the hopes of coming out of this stronger, more efficient and ready to hit the ground running. From streamlining project management systems, to refocusing and fine tuning our best practices and safety measures, to investing in technology to make site measurements less intrusive and more accurate.  We are determined and ready to help get our community back up and building! 

Our focus has always been on creating a Safe, Sustainable, Built Environment, and we continue to go above and beyond the status quo. Now more than ever we are focused on the safety of our clients, employees and all of our project stakeholders to protect against COVID-19. 

Here’s what’s new as of May 19th:

  • With new safety measures in place, we can do everything necessary for you to start your construction project by:

    • Resuming site visits — this means meeting with you at your home/business/space and performing site measurements, assessing existing conditions, and most importantly ensuring you can start your construction project.

    • Resuming in-person consultations and meetings while encouraging alternate means of communication such as Zoom video meetings wherever possible.

What safety measures are we taking as we resume these activities?

As a response to COVID-19, we are taking every precaution to ensure we minimize risk, ensure safety and make you feel comfortable.  With this in mind, we have implemented the following measures to ensure your safety and peace of mind:

  • We are providing flexible options for consultations and project meetings, including in-person, video or phone calls (we’re all getting pretty used to these video calls by now!)

  • We are encouraging most meetings and discussions with clients, staff and other project stakeholders to be completed remotely, whenever possible.

  • In person meetings, site measurements and assessments will be completed using social distancing measures.

  • Masks will be worn by us at all times during site visits.

  • We will use hand sanitizer before and after each visit.

  • All of our equipment will be wiped down with disinfectant before entering your home/space, and we will be wiped down once again after completing the visit.

  • We have invested in new 3D scanning technology which reduces the amount of time needed to measure your home and minimizes contact with surfaces in your home.

  • We can easily perform our site work with no one in the room, and we can perform measurements and assess existing conditions in a vacant home upon request. 

  • Drawings will be delivered digitally from project start to finish: Our completed construction drawings are sent to you in PDF format for your convenient review at home.

  • We will continue to provide contactless payment and 100% paperless billing. All payments can be completed online through our secure payment system by Interac e-Transfer or credit card.

  • Our staff continue to work remotely from home and are adhering to all Federal and Provincial legislation and guidelines. We are following the government updates closely and will make any adjustments to our practices promptly to ensure the safety and well-being of our clients, staff and their families. We are committed to being responsible citizens.

  • We will be following all government recommended precautions, and going above and beyond wherever possible.

One final note:

As local small business owners in Norfolk County and Kitchener-Waterloo, we would just like to take this opportunity to say how incredibly proud we are of our communities and the work everyone has been doing to get through these unprecedented, challenging times.  Seeing everyone band together has been truly inspiring. We are thankful for our community’s support of local businesses and the role each and every one of you is playing to ensure the safety and wellbeing of others. 

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and see you soon!
