We are extremely proud to announce that Pacific Solutions Contracting is now a member of AWMAC, the Architectural Woodwork Manufacturers Association of Canada!
What does being an AWMAC member mean?
The AWMAC accreditation is a stamp of quality for its members. It is only awarded to businesses that meet all of the criteria and standards set out to maintain integrity and trust in the woodworking and manufacturing industry. It is also a lengthy and strenuous investigation process for anyone seeking to become a member. In addition to written tests, applicants must undergo site inspections of the finished work (in our case this took place at some of our completed restaurants, like Published and Zaatar w Ziet), workshop investigations, provide shop drawing submissions for review, and they must also have other AWMAC member references to speak to the calibre of their work.
For Pacific, the whole process took over a year to complete. This was an important next step for our Workshop Manager, Brad Carlyle, as he looked to the future of the Pacific millwork shop and how we will continue to grow, evolve, and support our clients. The AWMAC membership provides a stamp of the integrity of the millwork that comes out of our doors and the talents of our team. We couldn’t be more proud of our crew and their hard work over the years to make this extremely important accomplishment come to life.
PSC workshop history
The Pacific Solutions Contracting millwork shop has been producing exceptional woodworking products over the past 10 years. It started off small with only the basic tools, opening out of a need to keep our schedules and budgets on target for our commercial projects. This capability has since become a differentiator for our business. Owning and operating our own millwork shop in the heart of Vancouver enables us to ensure our projects are never held up to delays due to millwork, that change orders or adjustments can easily be accommodated, and that the quality stands up to the work we pride ourselves on.
Brad Carlyle has been leading the Pacific workshop over the past 6 years. Starting off as the lone shop builder, he has since expanded it into our 3,500 square foot home in East Vancouver and brought on a very talented crew to build. The team even takes on their own projects, supplying other General Contracting firms in the city with the quality millwork they are seeking out for their projects.
