Episode 36 - Sheldon Saywell: Saywell Contracting

Saywell Contracting was founded in 1998 by Sheldon Saywell, the year he was approached by a client who asked if he could tender the remediation of a “leaky condo.” Sheldon’s efforts were very successful, and in 1999 he undertook his first full remediation project. At that time, the “leaky condo” crisis was still unheard of on Vancouver Island and was just beginning to become public elsewhere.

Saywell Contracting was one of the first General Contractors on the Island to undertake such projects. The company continues to excel at the forefront of this industry and to date, has completed hundreds of building remediations. Saywell Contracting became known not only for the quality and excellence of their work, but also for relationships they have built with strata owners and management firms. Their philosophy of building relationships first and foremost extends to everyone they come into contact with.

After substantial growth between 1998 and 2005, Sheldon Saywell decided to diversify the company, and Saywell Contracting undertook their first new multi-residential project, a 35-unit condominium. Since then, the company has expanded to two locations in Nanaimo, and Courtenay, on Vancouver Island, BC. Today, the firm continues to construct numerous multi-residential projects, commercial buildings, tenant improvements, as well as undertaking building envelope remediations.
