In our quest to find a solid, reputable and experienced builder for our new home, Upward Construction stood above the rest. They have a great team and were able to tailor their workflow to accommodate our flexible design requirements.

Once we broke ground, a dedicated site supervisor took the reins and oversaw the project from start to finish. He was backed up by very capable offsite support, that also proved to be helpful to us as we waded through the inevitable design and building decisions that crop up along the way.

Everyone on the project was friendly, knew their craft, and gave us confidence that we had selected the right team. Now that we are living in our home, an important consideration for us is the fact that Upward Construction stands behind their product. Any issues are resolved with courtesy and in a timely manner. We are very happy with the result and would not hesitate to recommend the company to future home builders.

Upward was brought in to construct a duplex development project for us.  From start to finish I was impressed with the experience, integrity and professionalism of the entire Upward team.  They delivered on time and on budget. Communication was clear, consise, consistent and open.  Any hicups along the way were dealt with quickly and solutions were always well thought out.

Onsite supervision was managed by Geoff, a fully licenced and experienced carpenter who not only managed the project and sub trades full time but also did double duty as a working manager 100% of the time with meticulous attention to detail. The site was always neat, tidy, organized and safe. Once complete, both units sold within days and well above market price. 

We would highly recommend Upward Construction to any prospective clients and please do not hesitate to have them call us if they wish to receive a better understanding of our experience.

We would like to express our sincere thanks and gratitude the entire Upward Construction team for working with us to realize our dream of creating our new ‘age in place’ home. We had a building lot and a vision – where to go from there? Having engaged Upward Construction several years ago to help us with a major 8 month renovation of our previous home, we knew they would be up to the task of assisting us with the construction of our new home.

The team was actively engaged with us through every step, from the initial design meetings, preliminary discussions with the District of West Vancouver through decommissioning and demolition of the old home to site preparation and ultimately the actual build itself. Our interests were aligned throughout the process and, as such, we reached our goal efficiently.

Anyone who has built a home knows there are thousands of decisions to be made and that there will be issues and surprises throughout. In our case, we were able to minimize the surprises with planning and by dealing with any issues that arose by meeting them head-on and immediately.

Jason, our site superintendent, maintained excellent and regular communication with us throughout the build. If there was any detail that required further input, Jason was in touch and we met. I know we had many 5 minute meetings that saved hours of potential changes in the long run. To build a great home you need to start with a great foundation and to us that foundation starts with a great team.
