THE FUTURE
Having completed over 100 major proj-
ects and hundreds of smaller jobs, Can-Tech
Construction’s reputation is far-reaching
and highly recognizable.
“We work in a very small area and it’s a lot
of you’ve done a project for somebody that
person knows, and that’s how it gets down to
us,” Fraser said. “An awful lot of our market-
ing is word of mouth.”
Perhaps part of the allure and attention of
Can-Tech Construction and Fraser’s ap-
proach to construction and home building is
the forward thinking attitude that has been
an ever present since the mid 80s and now
proves to be a main point of differentiation
in a marketplace that’s constantly changing.
“For years, people never realized the ben-
efits of energy efficiency,” Fraser said. “They
thought a house was a house and a building
was a building. Now, it’s really in the fore-
front of peoples’ minds and how beneficial it
is for our climate and our world and it’s be-
come very important.”
The strong sense of teamwork that has been
a mainstay at Can-Tech since the early days
in 1986 will continue to guide them into the
future. When reflecting on where he’s been
and where he plans to go, Fraser remains
modest.
“I enjoy my work,” he said. “The guys that I
employ, our relationship is like a marriage.
They can’t survive without me and I can’t
survive without them. We don’t necessarily
love each other day in and out, but we per-
form and pull together to get that final prod-
uct and make our clients happy.”
