New Construction in Revelstoke

If you’re new to Revelstoke and don’t have experience in dealing with a contract workforce in a micro contained economic hub, you’re in for a bit of a learning curve when it comes to building or renovating here. There are some fabulous people to work with. A lot of proud craftsman (craftswoman) types with old world values and knowledge of what it takes to provide a quality product that will sustain the elements and snow load. It can be a truly wonderful experience if navigated appropriately.

There’s also a different work environment and attitude that revolves around the values of living in an outdoor mecca, with generally just about as much or more work than needed to sustain a chosen lifestyle. In other words, its a fine balance between being the client with the capital to pay for the job and courting the trades to get their interest in your job and schedule you in.

Of paramount importance to the client is the confidence in knowing your trade will show up to do the work in the allotted time frame. This is where working with the companies that have the relationships with their sub trades and contracted workers goes a long ways to running a smooth job.

Estimating the job is another art and working with a general that has that process fine tuned in Revelstoke to give you confidence in your end number is another important benefit in creating a great builder/client relationship. Then there is your choice of building site, permitting, community engagement if relevant, resale value, design elements relative to Revelstoke and the list goes on. On a larger scale, for building product for resale or doing project development all of these factors multiply.
