Elements that stand out to Dan include: the plaster fireplace; the lighting; the kitchen cabinets; the butler’s pantry; and the “very custom” master ensuite, which features penciledged tiles that required a special tile saw to cut. “There are so many fine details that really make that home special,” Dan says. “When you go into the master ensuite, for example, you just don’t want to leave. It’s incredible.” The finished product was not only received well by Reico’s peers in the industry in the form of the award recognition, it was also well-received by the clients – according to Dan, they were “ecstatic.” “They love it,” he says. “Now we’re doing the house next door for their friends. That tells you all you need to know about the state of the relationship.” In 2013, Dan says that actually all of Reico Construction’s work was referral-based. Moving forward, they want to keep that up as much as possible. They want to keep building those kinds of loyal relationships with clients who care about quality and value the calibre of service that their company provides. Ideally, Dan says that they would like to keep doing high-end new homes for those clients, but he says they are open to doing some smaller-scale renovations as new home building in the region slows down. “We’re going to evolve and adapt with the market,” he says. “Sometimes that’s going to mean taking on smaller projects – but those projects are still going to be special. They’re going to feature the same kind of quality and attention to detail that we’re known for. We have a reputation and we never want to compromise on that reputation. No matter what size project we’re building, we’re going to keep going above and beyond.” FEBRUARY 2024
