The Construction Source

Genesis Controls is a Kelownabased company with the knowledge, expertise, and technology to meet any building mechanical control requirement, from the simplest house to a complex integrated high rise building. Armed with that capacity – and backed by over 20 years’ experience in the controls trade – they have developed a portfolio of successful projects, they have built loyal relationships with contractors, and they have quickly grown into one of the largest and most trusted controls companies in the BC interior. Genesis Controls’ history dates back to 2013, when Trent Novakowski was brought on as a partner of one of the largest electrical contracting companies in the Okanagan. Trent was recruited with the intent of starting a controls division, and over the following years he built that division up. In 2017, however, the company sold to new owners who only wanted to acquire the electrical component. Trent sold his shares in that company and branched off on his own, forming Genesis Controls as its own entity – as “a turnkey business,” he says. In the five years since, Genesis Controls has grown rapidly. When they started, they already had several projects ongoing, but Trent didn’t want to get complacent – he immediately got to estimating and winning new work, and the company quickly earned an industryleading reputation under their new name. A few years later, the company was ready to expand into the Lower Mainland, and in June 2020 they officially started a second office in Surrey. Since then, they have built that office up, and they are now looking to build it up even more. FEBRUARY 2023
