Testimonials

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.

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.

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!

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!

I have been a Building Official in Revelstoke since 2010. The owner and I have had a good working relationship. They continue to demonstrate a high level of competence and understanding in major aspects of the Building Code including permitting process and inspection requirements. I recommend Straight Up Construction as a competent new home builder.

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.

Retired Senior Building Inspector, RBO, CRBO

We approached Straight Up Construction in 2008 with a substantial construction project for our hotel in Revelstoke, BC. It involved a large addition, and building a complete second floor. Our previous contractor was not capable and did not have the expertise required to handle a project of this scale. This project required significant planning, budget control, and expertise both with construction practices and site management.   Straight Up Construction was awarded the original contract and was requested to complete several more projects from 2008–2014.   These projects included building extensions, large accessory buildings, room upgrades and exterior envelope upgrades. Their teams advised us on best building practices, and were always recommending options for savings and efficiency based on emerging building technology. They employed a team of sub trades that had a proven track record of quality work, so we were confident in their ability to manage the project. Additionally, they guided us through the requirements of the City building department for permits, variances, bylaws, and BC Building Code compliance. The team of Straight Up made us aware of the legal issues that arose, and advised us how to proceed.   Our interaction and working relationship with Straight Up Construction was very positive throughout the entire project. The customer service experience was transparent and open, and their billing process was very detailed so we were confident that we had honest transactions.   Additionally, this aided in our budgetary process as they gave appropriate recommendations to keep our project finances on target.

Owner, Gateway Inn

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.
