Another day , another dollar ( or two ).
Happy to say the construction projects are continuing in the valley ! The more the "sales" level off for new homes and condos, the more people are renovating. And that's one of the areas that we are very experienced in. Not quite as straight forward but always interesting ...... and challenging !
We have a good mix of drawings on the board, and I'm crunching numbers. Luckily we have done quite a few "trim jobs" and I reflect back on those numbers to speed things up.
The new renovation projects include : .... a hotel lobby and bar in Banff (Alberta), a hotel lobby, ... all new bathrooms in a golf & curling club, and an entire remodel of the interior of a condo in Canmore (Alberta)
..... also working out a price for a large "trim" job.
numbers, numbers, .... numbers, gotta love 'em !
About Me
- Chris Topher
- My father was a cabinetmaker, Dad made sure I worked every summer. I was exposed to every nasty job on site, labourer for 7 Italian masons, ah. Making windows in a glass shop,ow. Out of school I ran from the construction game. I sold menswear for Tip Top Tailors, "youngest" manager ever. Made a whack of money, without getting a single sliver! Got bored and went back to construction, my father thought I was crazy! Worked on Sulphur "Mtn." Teahouse in early 80's, went to work riding a gondola up to 9,000', cold and unforgiving. Then at Banff Springs Hotel in the eng.dept., with a German "Master Carpenter",his "student" for 6 years, he was amazing. It was time to start my "own" thing. 1st a reno co. in Toronto. Mtns. v.s. big city was too much. I moved a couple of hours north to Georgian Bay area, and created my own co."ChrisRogersDesigner/Biulder" some great clients, celebrities included. The mnts. were like a magnet , both my girls were in university, I was free to head west, again. I now own, "Wildside Woodworking" in Canmore, Ab. Have a great reputation, always busy. Life is good.
