The Boardwalk | 235/245
"Our office has the pleasure of working with Nith Valley Construction on several construction projects at The Boardwalk in Kitchener-Waterloo.
235 and 245 The Boardwalk had many challenging details including the unique glazing towers with external decorative steel lattices, building terraces, and the interplay of multiple cladding systems.
With both retail and orifice uses in the buildings, particular attention had to be paid to the dual mechanical systems and separations between the uses.
​
Nith Valley Construction was capable of meeting these challenges in a professional manner, an delivered quality buildings that form the central gateway to feature The Boardwalk Development."
The Imperial | New Hamburg
" In April 2014, I purchased The Imperial Hotel (known at the time as Eddly's) in New Hamburg.
My plan was to restore the exterior of the building to create apartments for seniors on the top two floors and retail on the main floor. There was no need to look for another company, as I knew that Nith Valley was my best choice. Its reputation was well known in Wilmot Township. I made the right decision.
​
Nith Valley Construction has a stellar reputation in and around Waterloo County for its excellent workmanship and fair prices. Few companies would know where to begin on a project of this magnitude. Not only were we changing the interior of the original building, but we were also putting on an addition of equal size to match the 1872 building. It was a complicated process that required perceptive understanding of marrying two different builds.
This company has a lot of experience behind it.
​
Much should be said about Nith Valley Constructions workers: hard working, dedicated, co-operative, polite and respectful are just a few of the adjectives that describe them.
They made me feel like they were on my team. Whenever they found an artifact, they were quick to identify it and bring it to me. They appreciated the history of the building and were eager to help with the restoration. They are experienced men/women who value the art of restoration.
We were able to save many of the original details in the building thanks to their craftsmanship.
​
I look forward to future restoration projects with Nith Valley Construction. It is a well-organized and manage company from the people in the office to the workers on site.
Would I recommend Nith Valley Construction
- most definitely. "
University of Waterloo | Conrad Grebel
" It's Thanksgiving weekend, an important time to take a moment or two to acknowledge the things in our lives for which we are grateful.
- At the top of my list this year is Nith Valley Construction. -
Thank you for the wonderful new addition you constructed for Grebel; it is service us extremely well and not a day goes by that we don't receive a fresh compliment on our beautiful facilities.
​
We all knew this building project was going to be "interesting," but I don't think anybody anticipated it becoming as challenging as it did. Additions which involve extensive renovations to older facilities always bring surprises. In our case it seemed that anything that could go wrong went wrong.
From soil contamination far worse than the soil samples indicated, to trades going bankrupt mid-way through the project to defective materials- we saw it all.
Yet your project team persevered and amazingly completed the project in a timely manner and on budget!
So thank you...
... to you for working hard with the consultants to resolve the big and tricky issues
... to Project Manager Steve Hohl for relentlessly staying on top of the details
... to Construction Supervisor Ron Junker for always insisting on top quality workmanship from every trade
... to the NVC office staff for timely and accurate invoicing and reporting
... to the NVC on-site crew who .worked so diligently and never complained about the Grebel staff and students who I am sure were underfoot far more than they should have been.
​
This was an exciting project and it is revolutionizing the way we offer our courses and services to the university and the community.
We are extremely grateful to Nith Valley Construction for your fine work and welcome the thought of working with you again on our next facility enhancement project."
MennoHomes | Affordable Living
"...​For a non-profit housing provider like MennoHomes, that combination of quality and affordable are key. We rely heavily on donated funds to ensure our project are financially sustainable once they are completed. Keeping construction costs low is imperative and yet we also know that we can't sacrifice overall quality since ongoing operation s and maintenance costs need to be considered.
To have this project come in so substantially under budget was critical since this was also the largest fundraising project campaign ever undertaken by MennoHomes.
Although our capital campaign fell short of its goal, this was offset by the savings [Nith Valley Construction] were able to achieve on our behalf. A penny saved is a penny earned!
​
We recognize that this didn't happen by accident.
The construction management tender process revealed that the original proposed budget was consistent with other we received. That provided us with confidence that we had a realistic cost estimate. And yet right from, the beginning, we could sense that the team at NVC had a real sense of ownership.
From the sub-trade tender process, through construction, to addressing any minor deficiencies (and they were minor) we felt that NVC was working hard on our behalf. Issues that came up were dealt with in a manner that was consistent with the values we have as an organization. It felt like a true partnership as opposed to simply a contractual relationship.
​
The end result is a building that we are proud to call a MennoHomes project.
We are confident that it is well built and will stand the test of time. On behalf of MennoHomes, please extend out sincere thanks to everyone at NVC who helped to make this possible.
Thank you for joining with us to respond to the need for affordable living. "
