the opportunity to take on bigger scopes, and then my work was overseen by someone with more experience,” Erica says. “I wasn’t just the junior designer cleaning up the sample gallery and picking colors. I really got thrown into it, and we give that opportunity to everybody that comes into IDG.” Then there are IDG’s suppliers, who also tend to go back decades. Lana says those partnerships are a “critical component” of their business, and “play a significant role in the success of every project.” “Over many years, we have built strong, trusted relationships with a curated network of suppliers who consistently deliver competitive pricing, highquality products, and reliable lead times – all of which directly benefit our clients.” “We work closely with a select group of preferred suppliers, allowing us to maintain consistency, accountability, and efficiency, while still preserving enough variety to meet diverse design requirements,” she continues. “We also regularly review and price-check products to ensure we remain competitive, relevant, and aligned with current market offerings.” “Maintaining respectful, collaborative relationships with our suppliers is essential to achieving the best possible outcomes. These partnerships enable us to manage expectations, maintain quality standards, and deliver projects that are well-coordinated, timely, and thoughtfully executed for our clients.” “We also take pride in working with skilled local millwork suppliers, trades and artisans,” Lana explains. “Partnering with craftsmen in the community ensures exceptional quality, attention to detail, and a personal touch in every project.” One example of a close partner would be Heronwood Custom Cabinetry, a family-owned company based in nearby Duncan, British Columbia. They specialize in high-end bespoke cabinetry and millwork, and are well-known on Vancouver Island for their high-end, durable, and thoughtfully-designed products. IDG has long worked closely with their expert team to create personalized spaces for clients that improve how their homes function and feel. THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA
