Project Coordinator
I was drawn to construction not simply to build, but to lead vision into reality. My architectural foundation gave me a deep sense of design, proportion, and spatial thinking, shaping how I approach every project today; not as isolated tasks, but as coordinated systems that must flow seamlessly from concept to completion.
Over the past five years, I have supported commercial, residential, civil and institutional projects across Canada. Focused on scheduling, cost control, QA/QC systems, and site operations. I have worked closely with project managers, consultants, and trade partners to manage competing priorities, maintain schedule integrity, and deliver disciplined execution under demanding conditions.
What sets me apart is the seamless integration of architecture and construction management. I evaluate drawings not only for compliance, but for constructability, sequence efficiency, and field practicality. This dual lens allows me to identify risks early, preserve design intent while maintaining budget and timeline discipline, and translate complex drawings into practical site strategies; strengthening collaboration, reducing uncertainty, and enhance overall project delivery.
Today, I am proud to contribute to K’awat’si Construction Company, where collaboration, accountability, and community impact sit at the heart of everything we do. I am dedicated to growing as a strategic project leader who elevates performance standards, strengthens team alignment, and delivers projects that create lasting value for clients and the communities we serve.
My focus is simple: plan with precision, execute with discipline, and lead with purpose.

Estimator
I graduated from Cabot Institute in Newfoundland in 1992 with a diploma in Architectural Building Technology. In 1993 I moved to British Columbia in search for work and ended up settling in Chilliwack.
I started my career in construction in 1993 working as an estimator for Douglas Homes, that exported panelized and precut houses to Japan. From there I went to Canadian Homes International that exported wood framed building packages to Asia and Russia. There I worked as chief estimator, purchaser, and designer. When that market crashed, I took a role at Britco a modular manufacturer as senior estimator. After about six months with an unexpected downturn at the company, I moved to Calgary to work at ATCO structures as Senior Estimator/Estimating Manager.
At ATCO I was responsible for providing turnkey proposals for permanent and temporary work camps to the Alberta Oil patch, eastern Canada, and throughout the world. After about seven years I moved back to Chilliwack to work as Senior estimator at Britco. Britco’s primary focus was providing workforce housing to work camps for Alberta’s oil patch. Britco completed a large work camp for Manitoba Hydro and soon after was sold to Western One which eventually sold it to Triple M Modular out of Lethbridge. Metric worked primarily as a permanent modular builder and installer, with such projects as 5 storey modular dormitory for Trinity Western University, various passive house projects and a branded modular hotel in Kelowna. I continued to work there until Metric was put into receivership in 2020. After which I went to work with Freeport Industries, a modular builder located in West Kelowna, as a Senior Estimator. Freeport Industries does residential modular as well as commercial permanent modular with various BC Housing supportive housing projects and daycares. I departed Freeport Industries in June of 2025.
In 2025 I moved to Port Hardy with my two dogs and a cat to work at Kawatsi Construction Company as Senior Estimator. I’m looking forward to bringing what I’ve learned in my many years in the modular industry to my new position and starting my new life in the beauty of the north Island.
Construction Safety Manager
Doug possesses decades of construction experience across multiple sectors, including commercial, residential, and infrastructure. During much of that time he served as first aid and having seen the damage an incident can do he was able to transition into a safety role. Since then, Doug dedicated the last 15 years of his career to enhancing health and safety as a way life, not just at the worksite but in facets of life.
General Superintendent
General Superintendent with 15 years of construction experience working on the north island with first nation communities and surrounding districts. Proven leader on many residential, civil and commercial projects. Strong leadership skills, problem solver and willing to dive into the trenches to help the team get any task completed. Born and raised on the north island, Stephen has a strong connection with the surrounding first nation communities and districts. Has many years of knowledge of how to build on the north island, rural areas and how to navigate through the challenges that come with it.
Procurement Manager / Purchasing
I began my career in the construction industry in the early 2000s, specializing in straw bale homes across Alberta, British Columbia, and Washington State. Inspired by the classic Three Little Pigs tale and the inevitable jokes that came with it, I founded Big Bad Wolf Straw Bale Homes, a name that proved to be memorable marketing. During that time, I helped build 32 custom homes and contributed to the construction of Canada’s first straw bale winery. After several successful years in construction, I transitioned into a 15-year career in emergency management and fire services. I served in a variety of roles, including Fire Instructor, and worked closely with oil and gas companies to design and implement fire prevention and firefighting systems for refinery operations. This experience strengthened my leadership skills, risk management expertise, and commitment to safety—principles that continue to guide my work today. When I started my family, I returned to my roots in construction, taking on Project and Sales Management roles where I could combine hands-on building knowledge with client relationships and strategic planning. Now settled on Vancouver Island with my three daughters, a cat, and a puppy, I’m proud to have built a fulfilling life both personally and professionally. Today, I am grateful to be part of the incredible team at K’awat’si Construction Company, where I bring decades of construction and safety experience to every project we undertake.
