Jeff Vassaur will always remember sitting at his mortgage servicing job, watching from his window as an office building was constructed from the ground up. It inspired him to shift gears in his career, transferring his leadership skills into construction management—and he’s never looked back.
“At a certain point, you just go for it,” says Jeff. “It had been a dream of mine to run my own business. Sink or swim, I made the decision that was the direction I was going.”
Over the past 16 years since starting McKay Vassaur Custom Builders, Jeff has brought visions to life with every brick, beam, and carefully curated detail. That has included the retirement home for a career military couple who never thought it’d come to fruition, as well as the rebuild of a family home originally constructed by the client’s father in the 1960s. For Jeff, every project brings the reward of knowing his team is delivering a completely personalized experience.
A self-proclaimed “energy nerd,” Jeff stays on top of research about the most sustainable building techniques. He works with a communicative, punctual vendor base that similarly utilizes cutting-edge applications and remains available long after handing off the keys.
“Clients should approach their builder decision with the mindset they are entering into a partnership, with accountabilities and responsibilities to be upheld by both partners to achieve a successful project outcome. Then they should ask themselves which homebuilding organization do they trust the most to be their partner on such a monumental undertaking,” says Jeff. “Utilizing that mindset and criteria for selecting a builder, and adhering to the partnership principle throughout the process, paves the way for a great client-builder relationship during and after the construction of the home.”
