“The District of Chetwynd and the Peace River Regional District engaged Venture Pacific as Construction Managers in 2008 for a $9 million dollar renovation and expansion of the Chetwynd & Area Receation Complex (arena, curling rink, leisure pool). The project is in progress and scheduled for completion in 2010. Venture Pacific has proven to be a very experienced and professional firm providing excellent construction management services to this complex and sometimes difficult project. I can highly recommend them for similar projects. My recommendation is also to bring them on as early as possible in the project, not just as Construction Managers but as Project Managers, something we didn’t do that would have helped resolve many difficult design issues early on. They have much to add to the design team (architects and engineers) and having them involved as early as possible will greatly benefit the project.”

“Venture Pacific has provided a high level of service on the several projects we’ve jointly been involved. We’ve appreciated their attention to provide the best product possible while working with the design team to ensure the costs remain in control and within the original budget. They have a good handle on the construction processes required to complete complex projects and to ensure the Owner’s requirements are more than met. Beyond their expertise and knowledge which is formidable, it is a pleasure to work with Venture Pacific as they are truly team players who work constructively and cooperatively in the best interest of the Owner and the project.”

“I worked on the Viking Air project with Venture Pacific Construction Management. Venture proved to be an effective manager and communicator. They ensured deadlines were met by all trades and consultants to get the building complete on time. They also went out of their way to ensure client satisfaction, and ensuring the building quality was as specified.
We partnered up with Venture Pacific to help construct an economical, yet practical 80,000 square foot facility. We found the group excellent to work with, providing excellent oversight, management and best practices in the areas of construction, reporting and overall cost controls. We have been very pleased with their input throughout the process and feel that a measure of the success on the project is due to them.”

“Please be advised that Colony have worked on several projects with Mark Van Ek and Venture Pacific Construction Management Ltd. in the past, with the most recent project being the new facility for Viking Air at the Victoria Airport.
Our experience in working with Mark and Venture Pacific, has always been a positive one, due mainly to the fact that his complete organization is well managed and schedule driven. The site superintendent, Ron Hauck was very detail oriented, great to work with and demanding, yet still completely fair.
The office staff displayed a complete commitment to expedient, clear, concise communication through the use of proper yet efficient written forms, something we do not see enough of with other similar firms. The whole project attitude provided by Venture Pacific, that is made available to all the sub-trades, is one of a team working together towards a common goal, a much more productive and refreshing means of getting the project built.
We have been very pleased to have worked with Mark’s well organized group and always look forward to doing so. Please feel free to contact the writer for any further information or clarification.”
