Launch Construction is an award-winning builder specializing in crafting custom homes that reflect the beauty and lifestyle of British Columbia’s Shuswap region. They have been operating from their home base in Blind Bay for over 20 years and in that time, they have earned an unrivalled reputation for excellence, quality craftsmanship, and long-lasting client relationships. “We create homes designed to be enjoyed in every season, right on the shores of Shuswap Lake,” says Brad Long, founder and owner of the company. “Our award-winning team is dedicated to building not just houses, but homes that a family will cherish for generations.” Brad has personally been working in the construction industry almost his whole life, having grown up on a farm and driving earthmovers from the time he was eight years old. Prior to moving to Blind Bay – which he calls “the best place on Earth” – he spent roughly 17 years building hotels and high-rises in Banff, Canmore, and Calgary. He formed Launch Construction in 2005 with the goal of building high-quality custom homes and renovations for people who loved the area as much as he did. Over the past 20-plus years, Launch Construction has slowly but steadily grown in both size and industry renown. The company is now one of the most acclaimed builders in the region, with a long history of satisfied clients and a shelf full of Keystone Awards to show for their efforts. These days, they employ a direct staff of about 20 people, and they work on renovations valued anywhere from $150,000 to new homes with values up to $6 million.
