to design and build some of Manitoba's most energy efficient and resilient buildings with

ultra-low carbon footprints. Our mission is to curb climate change by constructing highly efficient

buildings that have a net neutral or even negative lifetime carbon footprint.

We focus on high quality craftship and attention to detail. Demand for high performance

buildings is growing and we need new members to increase our capacity.

Successful applicants must be able to get to job sites within the city. We also work in
