Ethos Design + Build

“Through his hands-on experience in the field, Alex brings real world knowledge of how projects are actually built. This allows him to approach budgeting, contracting, scheduling, and scope clarification with a depth of understanding that is hard to replicate. His ability to bridge the gab between the field and the office makes him an incredibly effective and respected project manager.”

"What truly sets Alex apart is his extensive hands-on field experience. Unlike many project managers who work primarily from an office, Alex has actually built what he manages. This practical knowledge allows him to anticipate challenges, develop creative solutions, and communicate effectively with constructions crews."

"Over my three decades in this industry, it’s rare to come across a partnership like Alex and Ian’s. Both bring a strong combination of project management expertise and hands-on construction knowledge, which gives them a well-rounded, practical approach from planning through execution.

Alex stands out as the most detail-oriented and organized PM I’ve encountered, while Ian is an exceptionally talented carpenter whose craftsmanship speaks for itself. Just as important, they operate with a level of integrity that’s hard to find. They communicate clearly, follow through, and do exactly what they promise. That balance of shared capability and individual strengths makes them an easy recommendation for any project."

"Ian built the cabinets in my kitchen and they came out beautifully. From concept to installation, there was excellent communication throughout. The craftsmanship is the kind you can only get from someone who's been doing this a long time. He took the time to match the wood grain and made sure everything was done the way he'd do it in his own home. My wife couldn't be happier with the outcome, and that's what truly matters."
