CONSTRUCTION with what we want to accomplish . We ’ ve got 40 people , many of them with over 20 to 30 years of experience . There ’ s no one else in our industry on Vancouver Island that has that .”
De Palma knows that the company ’ s work speaks for itself : the better work they do , the higher caliber of worker the company can attract . Employees are well paid and appreciate the craftsmanship they are involved in , creating an energetic and productive work environment .
For the Future When asked to comment on the future of the industry on the island , De Palma shared that high safety standards are becoming imperative .
“ Safety procedures are going to become [ extremely ] important . It ’ s going to really separate the companies like us who put a huge amount of resources and effort into working safely on our job sites from others .
“ A lot of the smaller companies are not in the same position . But as more and more companies become up-to-date on safety , the playing field will be leveled and business will change . It ’ s more work than one might think to do things safely .”
With the success that comes with an exceptionally strong team and high quality safety and construction standards , Flintstones has an eye towards expansion , especially beyond Vancouver Island .
“ We ’ re only limited by our imagination and how hard we want to work .”
