“Kenwood Construction recently completed our new hostel project in Whistler which was used as part of the Athletes Village during the 2010 Olympic Games. Right from the beginning of the project their team was organized, understood the budget and schedule, and kept us informed in advance of any necessary changes, made suggestions to the design to reduce costs and were open to suggestions as well. I would highly recommend them for any large project that needs that personal involvement and service. ”
