Crafting more than a career
It ’ s clear that for Dion , construction is about more than just business . With 20 years of experience in the industry , he reveals how he found his niche in home-building : “ I found my way into the construction industry almost by chance . Around 20 years ago , I had been laid off from my engineering job , and one of my former colleagues had started a construction business a couple of years before . He wanted to expand into remodeling and asked me to join the company to manage that branch of the business . I worked there until 2008 , which was of course a difficult time for everybody . I moved jobs to work with a larger local builder , and then seven years later decided to strike out on my own .
