I am a general contractor and builder in Adelaide, South Australia and have completed several substantial construction projects. I consider Darcy Friesen from Straight Up Constructions a very competent builder and general contractor. He has a very good knowledge of the industry and the building code. His attention to detail is commendable and he is very conscious of the safety of his crew. He completed both our projects in a timely fashion and I was very happy with the quality of his work. I am more than happy to recommend him as builder of larger residential homes.

I work out of town and need a company I could trust to take the job from beginning to end and not worry about the details of the project. I was confident Darcy was true to his word and would be able to properly handle my project. He is very detailed with invoices and documentation. I was confident in his abilities as I could easily see the accountability. They are competent builders and are able to deliver. They are forward thinking and always looking out for my best interests as a client.

I have been a Building Official in Revelstoke since 2010. Darcy and I have had a good working relationship. He continues to demonstrate a high level of competence and understanding in major aspects of the Building Code including permitting process and inspection requirements. I recommend Straight Up Construction as a competent new home builder.

Few companies names represent its performance. Straight Up Construction came on board for our emerging resort to build our first Day lodge in 2007. We were under extreme pressure to deliver a first class Day Lodge in 6 months. During a time when market conditions were vibrant and very active, their delivery was efficient, seamless and delivered on time. The effort was monumental in every way all the while being “Straight up” with his trades and the owners representatives. Many thanks owed to Darcy and his team!

Throughout my tenure as Senior Building Inspector, Straight Up Construction has completed a substantial portfolio. Their projects have ranged from small staircases, to large scale commercial buildings from start to finish. I would highly recommend Darcy Friesen and Straight Up Construction as quality builders and general contractors.

In September of 2017 Straight Up Construction started a duplex project for me on CPR Hill in Revelstoke. Anyone familiar with Revelstoke’s fall and winter weather will understand the implications. September was wet; October and November wetter; and a near record snow season followed. Throughout Straight Up were unwavering. A 4500 square foot, two home project was completed in a 9 month period despite an unforgiving work environment. The work produced was uncompromising and detailed. The end product is a testament to Straight Up’s workmanship and commitment. Commendable work!

I was referred to Straight Up Construction to help me with an extensive renovation on my heritage home. We were informed and involved in many of the decisions and in all the required changes. We were confident that the process was honest and transparent. From start to finish, Straight Up Construction problem solved every situation that arose and successfully delivered a job well done.

In 2007 our company was employed to erect the heavy timber portion of the Day Lodge at Revelstoke Mountain Resort. Being from Ontario we were warmly welcomed by Darcy and his crew from Straight-Up Construction. Having worked all over the world with timber construction it is imperative that the foundation or concrete piers be very accurate as we work with 1/4” tolerances or less. The workmanship put into the concrete foundation and piers was second to none. Darcy’s enthusiasm and professionalism in working with us was a major factor in completing the project on time considering the many hurdles we had to deal with as is the construction world.
