We have built two homes now with Kia Kaha and we could not have been happier with the results. Their expertise, commitment to detail and enthusiasm made the whole process less daunting and more enjoyable.
Aaron is honest, reliable and very easy to work with. We felt like he had our backs start to finish. An excellent builder and an excellent person.

Aaron Wilson of Kia Kaha construction project managed the building of Platypus Playcentre a daycare building. It is a 4305 sq ft building and we built it from October 2007 with completion and opening of our daycare in May of 2008. With a tight time line and budget Aaron was able to work closely with the designer to ensure that our vision for the centre was completed on time, on budget and to plan. He was always available and able to work with us to find solutions to the inevitable construction issues that arise.
We would not hesitate in recommending Aaron as a contractor/project manager for any size project. Aaron had worked with us previously on building our own house and he has worked with us following the build of the daycare on other projects.

Aaron Wilson of Kia Kaha Construction project managed the renovation of my 2 bedroom townhome in Vancouver’s West End in 2006. The property was 20 years old in original condition and was completely transformed with his expert advice and guidance on design and layout, kitchen cabinetry, countertops, hardwood floors, trim, molding, carpeting, tile, bathroom fixtures and fittings and pretty much anything else involved with renovating a home. Aaron managed the project from start to finish, guiding me through the matrix of options for every area of the home, and the timing of when decisions had to be made and things completed, before the next phase could be started. He always arrived on time, with his sleeves rolled up ready to get to work - from the demolition stage to the finishing touches. His calm personality and solid dependability made my renovation journey a rewarding experience. Aarons “can do” attitude and attention to detail, whether you are building or renovating, will keep your project on track and on budget.

After living with our 3 children in 1700 square feet for 6 years, we were feeling the need for some extra space! Our kids were getting older, and our dream was to have a basement and some office space for our home-based business.
We finally had a designer help us draw up the plans to fill in the space under our deck, and thus began our major renovation!
We hired Aaron of Kia Kaha Construction based on recommendations from a few friends. We could not be happier with our choice.
Aaron was very thorough with his estimates on cost, and always gave us a couple of scenarios to work with.
Not only was he on the site every day, he was working - and not just supervising - which is what we really appreciated.
He has great skill on the job and was always looking for ways we could save money.
It was his first experience building a sauna, but he managed to work with as many experts as possible to make sure we did everything properly.
His attention to detail is obvious in every inch of the sauna and mudroom.
One of the greatest things about Aaron is that you can mention an idea one day – and he will run with it the next.
Like the chalkboard he built for the kids playroom! A fleeting idea, that materialized into something amazing.
