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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
