    We worked with Straight up Construction to deliver a solar system on one of their Projects. The communication was excellent, Working with Nathan and Darcy was easy and their building is beautiful. I look forward to working with Straight up Construction again in the future.

    My fiancé and I dove into the intimidating journey of building our first home with Nathan and the Straight Up Construction crew back in 2023 and could not be happier with the process. Not only where we first timers at this, but Nathan and team had to deal with the complexity of us living in the US while building in Revelstoke. The Straight Up team made us feel comfortable every step of the way, providing detailed follow up, professional advice, and an overall sense of calm in what could otherwise be very hectic. We could not be happier with our finished product of a beautiful timber frame home that we know we will enjoy for the rest of our lives! I highly recommend Straight Up Construction!

    We have worked with Straight Up on numerous projects over the years. On our last project they completed a huge indoor arena, that would be able to withstand the snow loads of Revelstoke BC. It was not an easy task, they did an incredible job. They also completed the sheds and surrounding grounds. A great team, highly recommend.

    Nathan and his team at Straight Up Construction were incredible to work with! We are absolutely in love with our new home. The whole idea and beginning of the process was a little daunting and we were super green as this was our first build! Nathan made the whole process SO easy for us. Every person we met with through him and companies we were matched with were so helpful and detailed! Honestly, the hardest part of building a home with these guys, was moving!! Can’t thank your team enough for helping us through the entire process!

    Straight Up Construction is a fantastic company to have build your house. Nathan is extremely personable and can explain the details of the process and hold ups exceptionally. It was the most painless way of building a house. We just had to show up, describe what we wanted, make choices, and let Nathan and his associates handle the rest. Any hiccups were all dealt with timely and the ball really felt like it was in my court. At the end of the process they developed a book that contains all the permits, warranties, drawings, operational manuals, and even has a check list on how to check your house during the seasonal changes. It’s phenomenal!

    Nathan Weston and Darcy Friesen of Straight up Construction was one of the top teams to be employed building a medium density 46 unit project in Revelstoke BC in 2017 called Mackenzie Village. Both Nathan and Darcy provided leadership roles and helped managed many aspects of the build. Straight up Construction was on hand to build 7 buildings with basements, over 45,000 sq. feet in total. Nathan and Darcy are both hard working individuals with a passion for providing a quality end product. Their strong team building skills and overall enthusiasm each day helped motivate and lead a combined group of over 100 individuals that worked together to get the project done. Their construction team included Red Seal carpenters and apprentices, and they also hold project management certification. We would not hesitate to use Straight up Construction again in the future or recommend their services to others with full confidence.

  • I am a general contractor and builder in Adelaide, South Australia and have completed several substantial construction projects. I consider Straight Up Constructions a very competent builder and general contractor. They have a very good knowledge of the industry and the building code. Their attention to detail is commendable and management is very conscious of the safety of their crew. They completed both our projects in a timely fashion and I was very happy with the quality of work. I am more than happy to recommend Straight Up as builder of larger residential homes.

  • I work out of town and need a company I could trust to take the job from beginning to end and not worry about the details of the project. I was confident they would be true to their word and would be able to properly handle my project. They are very detailed with invoices and documentation. I was confident in their abilities as I could easily see the accountability. Straight Up are competent builders and are able to deliver. They are forward thinking and always looking out for my best interests as a client.

  • Few companies names represent its performance. Straight Up Construction came on board for our emerging resort to build our first Day lodge in 2007. We were under extreme pressure to deliver a first class Day Lodge in 6 months. During a time when market conditions were vibrant and very active, their delivery was efficient, seamless and delivered on time. The effort was monumental in every way all the while being “Straight up” with trades and the owners representatives. Many thanks owed to the Straight Up team!

  • Throughout my tenure as Senior Building Inspector, Straight Up Construction has completed a substantial portfolio. Their projects have ranged from small staircases, to large scale commercial buildings from start to finish. I would highly recommend Straight Up Construction as quality builders and general contractors.

  • In September of 2017, Straight Up Construction started a duplex project for me on CPR Hill in Revelstoke. Anyone familiar with Revelstoke’s fall and winter weather will understand the implications. September was wet; October and November wetter; and a near record snow season followed. Throughout Straight Up were unwavering. A 4500 square foot, two home project was completed in a 9 month period despite an unforgiving work environment. The work produced was uncompromising and detailed. The end product is a testament to Straight Up’s workmanship and commitment. Commendable work!

    In 2007 our company was employed to erect the heavy timber portion of the Day Lodge at Revelstoke Mountain Resort. Being from Ontario we were warmly welcomed by the crew from Straight-Up Construction. Having worked all over the world with timber construction it is imperative that the foundation or concrete piers be very accurate as we work with 1/4” tolerances or less. The workmanship put into the concrete foundation and piers was second to none. The owner's enthusiasm and professionalism in working with us was a major factor in completing the project on time considering the many hurdles we had to deal with as is the construction world.
