Owner's Story
My name is Oliver Brady, and I am a Civil Engineering Technologist with specialized training in building moisture control, net-zero home building and renovation, and high-performance home design and construction. Since 2013, I have owned and operated a general contracting company, managing projects ranging from targeted renovations to full custom homes and acreage developments.
​
In addition to my engineering background, I have extensive hands-on experience in carpentry, having worked in residential construction for over a decade. This allows me to approach projects with a deep understanding of both craftsmanship and building science, ensuring durability, efficiency, and long-term value.
​
I’ve worked with high-end custom home builders, building science engineering consultants, and property restoration companies, giving me a well-rounded perspective on the entire construction process. One challenge I’ve often encountered is the disconnect between engineering principles and real-world construction. Many engineers lack hands-on building experience, while many tradespeople have limited exposure to the science behind the codes they follow. My goal is to bridge this gap, fostering clear communication and collaboration between all professionals involved. I believe that better-built homes come from a shared understanding of both principles and practice.
Personal Life
I grew up in Jasper, where I developed a deep love for the outdoors. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, mountain biking, and backcountry camping. I’m also passionate about woodworking and build furniture whenever I can find the time.
My wife is a veterinarian, and together, we share a love for animals—especially our two energetic dogs.
