times clients who are moving from Saskatch-

been dealing with both.”
EXTENDED FAMILY
The team of six employees at Active Homes
– a mix of construction supervisors and in-
house personnel – is diminutive yet deter-
mined. For Toor and her husband, closeness
and collaboration between client, subcon-
tractors and sub trades helps bridge the gap
during the stressful times in the home build-
ing process. “All our trades are really impor-
tant to us,” she said. “We treat them as an
extended Active Homes family. We’ve been
dealing with the same suppliers since the be-
ginning, so a lot of our suppliers know our
sub contractors. There are times, too, when
suppliers and customers know each other.
That makes clients very comfort.”
“There’s been a great support system of Ac-
tive Homes,” Toor continued. “We love
building houses and it’s been a great experi-
ence with our trades, clients and suppliers.
Everybody has been there for each other.”
