Collaborative Construction

Over the past few weeks, a few of us have had the chance to spend an evening At the Globe Theatre Live watching one of our own, take the stage in the dark comedy, Arsenic and Old Lace.

If you’re close with our team, you may have noticed the absence of our PM, Donny - who has taken some time away from the office to pursue a passion that's been part of his life for years: theatre. Watching him step into the role of Jonathan Brewster reminded us of just how many talents our team brings to the table.

One thing we've always felt is that life is bigger than work. We spend a lot of time together as a team, but the people who work here are more than their job titles. They're athletes, artists, volunteers, performers, community members, and all kinds of other things outside of construction. When someone gets the chance to chase something they're passionate about, we jump at the chance to cheer them on!

Congratulations, Donny. From all of us. We're SUPER proud of you.

And if you're looking for a great night out in Regina, Arsenic and Old Lace has been extended through the end of June.

We truly find it difficult to hear stories from people who have had negative experiences with contractors they thought they could trust.

Most homeowners only renovate a handful of times in their lives, so it's understandable that many aren't sure what to look for when hiring a contractor.

Of course, no checklist is going to guarantee a perfect experience, but asking the right questions before signing a contract can help you spot potential issues early and make a more informed decision.

Things like:
• Insurance and licensing
• References from recent clients
• Communication expectations
• Project timelines
• Written contracts
• Payment schedules

These conversations can tell you a lot about how a project is likely to be managed long before the work begins.

To help homeowners navigate the process, we put together a free guide:

Before + after at Face First Medical Aesthetics! 🧘‍♀️✨️

This one wrapped up in November - a raw commercial space on Dewdney, previously a vintage decor shop, turned into something that doesn't look like any other clinic in the city.

The original floors and wood ceiling stayed. The feature wall, the brass pendants, the layered textures - all of it came from a vision the client had from day one, brought to life with Ambiente Interiors.

It’s exciting to see this project be part of the bigger story along Dewdney Avenue as the area continues to grow and take shape through the revitalization project!

Thanks Face First, for trusting us with it!

Sometimes the best thing you can do for your home is give it a full reset.

This Wascana Meadows transformation brought new life to the whole house, with a brand-new kitchen, refreshed living spaces, and a bathroom now featuring a steam shower. We’re jealous too.

Bright whites, warm neutrals, soft greys, and rich brown tones came together to create a home that feels modern, calm, and easy to live in.

Looking at renovation quotes can get confusing fast.

One looks cheaper. One has way more detail. One leaves you wondering what’s actually included.

And honestly? That’s a normal place to get stuck.

The number matters, of course. But so does what’s behind it. A quote should help you understand the plan, the expectations, and what could affect your budget along the way.

Before you pick the lowest price, take a closer look at what you’re actually comparing.
