MEET YOUR BUILDERS
East City Builders are led by Haydn McBride and Ben Luxton, craftsmen with over 28 years of collective carpentry and construction experience.
Not your everyday contractors, Haydn and Ben pride themselves on being approachable, easy to work with, courteous and thoughtful.
East City Builders care about the quality of their relationships with clients, just as much as they care about the quality of their construction work.
“We love the creative side of the job. Building things, putting stuff together, it is so much fun doing it. When something comes together nicely, you just know you’ve done it right. We’re building things that can last, hopefully they’ll outlast me!”
– Haydn McBride
Haydn, Ben, and the East City Builder crew bring a positive approach to worksites and tackle each day with joy, passion, and pride. They’re excellent craftsmen, experienced enough to have seen it all, devoted to their work, and dedicated to building things the right way.
Make no mistake, these guys love to roll up their sleeves and swing a hammer, not just manage projects from a distance. They have a fun, productive, hard-working energy. You’ll know you’re in good hands with East City Builders.
“We’ve always received great feedback from clients about the work we do. People tell us how easy we are to get along with, the politeness of our crews, the cleanliness of worksites, our conscientious approach. We get excellent feedback from the building department too. That’s just the way we do things. If it makes people happy, that’s a win!”
– Ben Luxton
Here’s what makes us “TICC”
Tenacity
We’re hard-wired to be hard workers, it’s the quick-twitch in our DNA. We’re tenacious and persistent in tracking all the little details that make up a building project, honouring your vision and budget, coordinating with respected sub-trades and suppliers, and bringing projects to completion on time.
Integrity
Integrity is everything to us. We’re not in this for the quick buck, we see ourselves as building a legacy every day. We value establishing relationships with clients that are founded on trust, and we look to treat each build like it was our own home.
Courteous
It’s simple, really. You should treat people with kindness and with respect for their property, just like you’d want to be treated if it was your own property. In all we do, we prioritize being a courteous crew: easy to approach with questions, easy to work with, polite, friendly, and respectful of those around us.
Caring
As corny as it may sound, we’re builders who care. We care about our clients’ vision, needs, and budgets, we care about building each day with passion and pride, and we care about the example we’re setting for the next generation. If that makes us corny, we’ll proudly own it.
OUR CLIENTS SAY…
“Ben and the East City Builders were all so great to work with that it felt strange and a bit sad when the job was all done, not to have them around!”
