have to deliver on all of that.”
To guarantee all of this, “We do something
different,” he explains. BUILD IT manages
its projects through an in-house labour
force, meaning a team of 70 trusted and
skilled contractors and subcontractors
who work for the BUILD IT roster and con-
tinue to increase the number of completed
builds year after year. “We are able to con-
trol the quality and the time lines for our
projects that way because our guys don’t
need to call on a subcontractor to get their
employees.”
By understanding the challenges and risks
that businesses face are similar across
all industries, the team’s expertise in the
special construction requirements has
easily parlayed into other sectors, attract-
ing new business from upscale retail and
large spaces. BUILD IT’s most recent and
current projects include a Henry's camera
store, Turtle Jack's, Ride Cycle Club,Wellth
Pharmacy, A&W, and three dental offices.
“Our team has really been the key to our
success,” says Shahin. “It’s about continu-
ing to find the right people to continue us
growing, extending our offerings into new
markets, and getting the people and train-
ing on those specific types of builds. This
is how we started, and this is the way we
are going to continue to grow.”
