Question 1

Who owns and operates Quality Connect?

Accepted Answer

Hi there! I'm Andrew, owner and operator of Quality Connect.  I started my building career in Edmonton as a framing carpenter’s helper at 14 and I've been involved in renovations and new home construction for the past 25 years. I studied at Nait, the University of Alberta, and PHIBA where I received my Master Builder training. I've run a framing crew for over a decade and I've been involved in the project management of over 80 new homes and duplexes. I have built spec homes taking them from permitting to warranty-service after they were sold.

Question 2

How do I know the trades are qualified?

Accepted Answer

One of the biggest problems builders have is finding the RIGHT trade contractors to work with. Even when you find a contractor through a recommendation, you don't know if they are licensed and have the proper insurance.   We check each of our contractors for: WCB Number in good standing Liability insurance References Business license  Years in business Having fully licensed and insured contractors working on your project PROTECTS you from liability in the event of injury, ensures your build is up to current codes and helps with warranty and part of your new home insurance. 
We provide peace of mind to the builders so they can focus on managing their project.
