The majority of MQN’s awards
and nominations in 2019 were
shared with Bercum Builders,
who constructed Boomerang
Bay. In a statement after the
ceremony, MQN Partner Brian
Quiring was quick to credit the
project’s myriad achievements
to them, as well as each and
every other stakeholder on the
job.
“Much like building, success
is not built by one person but
by a team, which is why we
are proud to share this build
and award with our wonder-
ful clients and all the talented
hard-working local Okanagan
building partners that worked
with us to make this dream
home a reality,” Brian said.
“The awards are not just about
giving recognition to us,” Dora
adds. “We worked with so many
amazing local tradespeople,
and the awards are really a
tribute to them. We were very
gifted and fortunate to be able
to work with so many talented
people.”
Many of the building partners
involved in Boomerang Bay had
worked with MQN before. Ber-
cum Builders, for example, had
previously worked with the firm
on another highly home called
‘Bella Vita.’ For that project, they
won the 2018 Grand Georgie
Award for Custom Home Build-
er of the Year, among a host of
other accolades.
“We were grateful to work with
Bercum Builders on that proj-
ect, and again on Boomerang
Bay,” Dora says. “They provide
an extremely high level of qual-
ity, and we have established a
lot of trust with them. We have
a great working relationship,
and that just makes the build
process a lot easier.”
As MQN grows, their goal is to
continue building that kind of
trust, and forming those kinds
of relationships with their build-
ers, consultants, and trades-
people. Moving forward, Dora
says the firm will be taking on
more projects, and she says it’s
important that they have the
right building partners to sup-
port that growth.
“We’re expanding,” she says.
“We’re expanding our staff,
we’re expanding our space, and
we’re taking on more builds.
We’ve got a lot of exciting ven-
tures to come. I think you’ll see
some really unique and inter-
esting work coming from MQN
in the next few years.”
“It’s all possible because of our
team,” she concludes. “We work
with the right people, and we
put people first.”
