up, we are very rarely unable to help them.” “We stand behind every project we have ever done,” he reiterates. “I know that’s not always the case with every builder. There are some builders that are just waiting for that one-year warranty period to be over and then they’re gone. That’s not us.” “Remember, I’m a third generation Okanagan person,” he adds. “I was born in Kelowna. I’m not going anywhere soon. That seems to foster a lot of comfort with my clients, commercial and residential. They know I’m not a fly-by-night builder. They know I’m not going to leave the province when the job is over and then they never hear from me again. My goal is to keep working in this industry, in this town, for as long as I can.” As for the kind of work they want to be doing, Brandon says that home renovations have always been the company’s “bread and butter,” and they are not looking to change that – but they are interested in doing some higher-end ones. At the CHBA Central Okanagan Housing Awards of Excellence, AEC Contracting & Renovations won two Gold awards in 2022 and a Silver award in 2023, and they would love to keep up the momentum. “We’re looking to keep pushing the envelope,” Brandon says. “We want to keep finding awardworthy projects and we want to keep pushing forward with design, innovation, and creativity. We want to work on projects where we’re making people’s dreams come true.” Shannon Mazzei Kelowna, BC P: 250.878.1720 E: shannonmazzei@shaw.ca SHANNON MAZZEI DESIGN A small Architectural design company with 30 years experience using current industry software (AutoCAD & Revit) Specializing in custom residential design, addition and renovation projects providing functional,beautiful spaces that suit our clients' individual needs. • • . • • • • • . • . custom homes additions & renovations multi-family site design rendering construction drawings 3D visualization small commercial design APRIL 2024
