Outdoor Kitchen Construction Services in Sooke, BC

“Thank you to Yager Construction for their work on the West Coast log home and the exceptional work that they did. Our Team and Client were thrilled by the work and the overall experience was beyond expectation. It can be difficult to navigate the noise and find a trustworthy company to work with. Highly recommended.”

“David Coulson Design Ltd. is a Design/Build company that I do a lot of work with. They are fun, personable, creative, hard working, and create beautiful spaces. I highly recommend them for any type of project, big or small.”

“When considering a professional to design my family home, I was looking for a professional who would take the time to understand and capture the essence of my needs and dreams, and then render them into a creative and aesthetically beautiful design while delivering a practical, space and cost-efficient solution. Scala exceeded my expectations in all fronts. I can not recommend them enough. Their professionals amass a wealth of experience in design and construction solutions acquired in various geographical locations throughout North America, consolidating a unique perspective that blends the beauty of architectonic solutions with the efficiency of civil engineering design. Natural light, efficient spaces, working with the unique natural surroundings and characteristics of the lot, are just a few of the outcomes you can expect. Happy building!”

“My business is located in an old brick building. In the middle of a roofing project, we had a call from the roofer explaining that they had exposed seriously degraded brick work around the top of the building, and that it was not structurally sound. I called Mike De Palma from Flintstones as I was driving to the office, and his foreman actually beat me there! Understanding that the re-roofing was very time sensitive as the building was exposed to the elements - the Flintstones crew jumped right on it. They got the job done on schedule and on budget. Every interaction with Mike or with one of his crew has been great.”

“I've worked on two projects with Lori, and both went extremely well. Her scheduling of the project was spot on, no wasted time at all. Everything was ready for me when I arrived on the job-site which made the project go very quickly and smoothly. I've been in Construction for thirty years and I really appreciate when projects go as well as these have. Lori did an excellent job on both, I look forward to working with her in the future.”

“Charlie and Melissa did our renovation/new build on our 1927 bungalow that was completed in 8 months and 1 day. The scope of the project increased significantly with the discovery of a not so sound foundation. The planning and execution of each segment of the build went very smoothly. And when issues arose Charlie and his crew were able to respond quickly and to our exact specifications. The site was always looked after with as little impact as possible on our very understanding neighbors. During storms Charlie was there in the middle of the night making sure nothing was amiss. The crew and sub-trades that Charlie and Melissa employ were all stand up people with a great work ethic and an understanding of the stress a project like this is on a family. We have plans for Appleford to return to do our fence and build a new garage in the back yard.”

“We couldn't be happier with our showroom's new Biophilia living wall! Bianca and her team were amazing to work with and approached this project with enthusiasm and a wealth of knowledge. They went far above and beyond our expectations, and had our living wall planted and installed well before the deadline we were anticipating.”

“Scala dev. co. has contracted us for marketing work over the passed 4 months. Working alongside them went efficiently and seamlessly. They are hard workers, easy to deal with and clear with their intentions. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a forward thinking, creative building company.”

“A friend whose home I really like (design, feeling of solidity and comfort, use of natural and/or recycled building materials) strongly recommended her builder to me, Michael Dragland, so I contacted him. I had asked my friend "what about the problems building contractors are legendary for, such as not keeping appointments, being flaky, not communicating well, and so on" and she said the communications with Michael were one of his strong points, one of the things she had been the most happy with. Michael prepared some sketches based on the ideas I gave him (I had a certain floorplan in mind inspired by a house I had owned previously), we chose a "look and feel" that we wanted to be unpretentious, understated, elegantly simple. Now, everyone who comes over says the LOVE our house, how it looks and feels. Our house feels as solid as a rock, like it will last forever. From a fir tree that had to come down for the site, the many and beautifully-visible posts and beams (exterior and interior) were cut from that tree, along with I would say 2/3 of our interior framing lumber (which Michael chose to make thicker and wider than convention, for that more solid long-lasting feel). The other specialists (besides the saw-miller) who Michael chose were the best .. he knows the right people to ask .. the grading contractor, the tree experts (we had some limbing done), the interior painters, the custom window maker, the buy who tiled our bathroom, etc ... Michael has got a team of amazing collaborators he was worked with, ad labourers that he has worked with whom I trusted, were polite and professional, showed up when promised, cleaned up when finished, did not overcharge us, earned my trust and future recommendations. Each Friday Michael and crew cleaned up, swept the house floors, tidied up the site. He efficiently brought in a construction tent (or two) where everything was neatly placed or stacked. His crews did not toss litter everywhere like I've seen on many sites. As much as possible all "used" wood was recycled ... instead of the usual on-site dumpster that gets full and trucked off to the landfill with used and discarded bits of framing wood, trash/garbage was kept to a minimum and Michael made sure to re-use as much as possible. For example, the plywood sheets used to "form" the concreted basement walls got re-used as sub-floor materials for the main floor, most of the 2x4s were similarly re-used, and Michael re-purposed the scaffolding planks (used to install upper windows and siding, etc.) for a large interior built-in desk-top and a couple of built-in wall-benches ... as much as possible, stuff was re-used instead of sent to the dump. We love our home. It is peaceful, solid, and zen-like. It was a pleasure working with Michael and with every one of his team-members that were brought in to help. I referred a friend, she engaged Michael for a major renovation/room-addition, and have recommended him to many others without hesitation -- Michael Dragland is a great choice for home-builders who don't want to generate excessive waste and who believe in recycling and reusing materials when possible to reduce environmental impact.”
