THE STORY

IN THE EARLY 60'S, MY FATHER IMMIGRATED TO CANADA FROM GREECE.   HE ENTERED CANADA WITH VERY LITTLE MONEY BUT WITH BIG DREAMS.  HE WAS A STONE MASON BACK IN GREECE AND THEREFORE UNDERSTOOD THE MEANING OF HARD WORK.  HIS FIRST TOOLS WERE A HOME MADE WHEEL BARROW,  A STEPPING STOOL AND A SHOVEL.  AFTER A NUMBER OF YEARS WORKING FOR VARIOUS CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES TO BUILD HIS KNOWLEDGE, HE OPENED UP FRANK AND SAVE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY.  HE STARTED WITH GENERAL RENOVATIONS AND HOME IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS AND THEN BUILT HIS FIRST CUSTOM HOME IN 1975 AND HIS BUSINESS TOOK OFF FROM THERE.  OVER THE YEARS, MY FATHER BUILT A REPUTATION WITH HIS CLIENTS AS BEING A CONTRACTOR WHO PRODUCED HIGH QUALITY WORK AND BEING VERY RELIABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY.   I STARTED WORKING WITH MY FATHER WHEN I WAS 8 YEARS OLD.  EVERY SUMMER AND MOST WEEKENDS WAS GOING TO WORK WITH MY FATHER. THERE ARE NOT A LOT OF HOMES IN THE DANFORTH NEIGHBOURHOOD IN TORONTO THAT MY FATHER AND I DID NOT RENOVATE IN SOME MANNER.  ALTHOUGH IT WAS HARD WORK AND TOOK AWAY SOME TIME FROM BEING A KID,  I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED HOW A SPACE COULD BE TRANSFORMED IN A MATTER OF A FEW DAYS OR WEEKS FROM A TIRED AND RUN DOWN SPACE TO A FRESH, CLEAN AND LIVABLE ENVIROMENT. I ATTRIBUTE THIS TIME WITH MY FATHER AS BEING THE CATALYST TO MY PASSION FOR HOME CONSTRUCTION TODAY.  MY FATHER ALWAYS ENCOURAGED ME TO GO TO SCHOOL, GET A UNIVERSITY DEGREE AND WORK IN A CORPORATE ENVIROMENT. AFTER OBTAINING MY UNIVERSITY DEGREE IN URBAN PLANNING FROM RYERSON UNIVERSITY, I WORKED FOR VARIOUS LARGE CORPORATE HOME BUILDERS AND REAL ESTATE DEVELOPERS FOR 15 YEARS BEING INVOLVED IN AND MANAGING THE CONSTRUCTON AND DEVELOPMENT OF OVER 3000 HOMES ACROSS THE GREATER TORONTO AREA.  HOWEVER MY PASSION AND LOVE FOR THE FRONT LINES OF HOME CONSTRUCTION ALLOWED ME TO MAKE A BIG BUT EASY DECISION TO TAKE OVER MY FATHERS BUSINESS. I REBRANDED MY FATHERS COMPANY AND SAVY CONSTRUCTION WAS BORN. THE COMPANY NAME MAY BE DIFFERENT BUT I BRING WITH ME 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE BOTH CORPORATE AND ON SITE AND THE SAME QUALITIES MY FATHER TAUGHT ME OF PRODUCING HIGH QUALITY WORK AND BEING VERY HONOURABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY.
