About Us

After growing up in Vancouver, Max moved to Victoria to attend the University of Victoria. After completing his Bachelor’s Degree at Uvic and meeting his beautiful wife and future business partner Jac-Lyn, Max decided that his true passion was in the trades. Max went on to complete his Red Seal Plumbing and Gas Fitting Certification; to further his education he went to BCIT in Vancouver for the Construction Management program to hone his management skills.

Upon completion, he returned to Victoria to work for a large mechanical contracting company as an estimator and later as Operations Manager.  This inspired Max to start his own business where he could complete projects to the highest standards and create strong relationships with his clients.  Combining his extensive education and experience, as well as his technical knowledge, Max has a unique skill set that is rarely seen in this industry.

Steve was born in the U.K, which you will soon discover upon hearing his lovely accent.  He has an extensive background in construction, as his father owned a construction company in England.  Having the experience in carpentry and plumbing allows him to see how things might fit together with regards to the coordination of other trades. Steve started plumbing when he was a teen back in England, under the tutelage of his father. He has an excellent technical aptitude for the mechanical trade, and it clearly comes naturally to him.

His role at MGM is very important as he acts as the intermediary between site and the office.

He oversees all of the projects from a technical standpoint and is a great help to the various Foreman at MGM.  He also spends time in the office on project management, in addition to his time in the field; you’re just as likely to see him with a hardhat and boots on doing a quick groundwork, as you will having a meeting with him.  He truly has a very diverse skill set and we are are grateful to have him on our team.
