TIDMAN CONSTRUCTION
The company started building its reputation in 1948, led by founder Roy Tidman – a man
who believed in doing a good job, listening to what people wanted, and always doing what
he said he was going to do. His commitment to quality and care made him many long-time
friends among his clients, and made Tidman Construction one of the most respected names
in residential building. Roy’s values were carried on by his sons Ron and John, who took over
the reins of the business in the 1980s, and later by John’s son Andrew, who came on board
in the decade that followed.
Today, Tidman Construction is the oldest family-owned custom home builder on Vancouver
Island, celebrating their 70th anniversary this year. The business is now led by Andrew, who
has experience as both in architectural design and a building, and is wholly committed to
the company’s clients and the quality of the team’s work – much like his uncle, father, and
grandfather.
