About Us
Who we are
With nearly 30 years of building experience, Chris Fifield has built his reputation on trust, honesty, and workmanship that stands the test of time. He has worked closely with award-winning architects on complex architectural builds, while remaining equally committed to smaller projects such as decks, fencing, renovations, and landscaping. Chris believes that every job, large or small, deserves the same level of care and attention.
Decades in the industry have allowed Chris to surround himself with a reliable team of skilled tradespeople and loyal subcontractors who share his values. This network includes professionals he has worked with for many years, creating a consistent and dependable team environment on every site. As a proud member of Master Builders for more than ten years, Chris also provides clients with added peace of mind through trusted guarantees and fully transparent pricing. Every cost, margin, and variation is clearly explained.
Chris often says that his name is his trade. His personal involvement, respect for clients, and commitment to quality underpin every project the company takes on.
