GVHBA Members Wicks Electric

September 1, 2016/in Blog/by adam

Adam: I’m doing well Mark, thanks for the introduction.

Mark: So we’re going to talk about the GVHBA, Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association and RenoMark which is something that’s pretty rare in the electrical industry, is that right?

Adam: Yeah, that’s correct Mark. So the GVHBA is the Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association; so that’s a group that you have to apply to be a part of. There’s hundreds of builders, you’ll find Vancouver’s premier, high end builders as part of the GVH, but there are only a few sub-trades, probably because the cost of membership is pretty high and you don’t get a lot of benefits out of it per say but one thing we love about the GVHBA is the RenoMark stamp that comes along with it. When you join the GVH, you also have a option to be part of the RenoMark team. If you sign up and you’re wanting to be part of the RenoMark team, there is a set of stringent guidelines you have to abide by. One of our clients favourites would be the two year warranty as opposed to a semi standard one year warranty that other contractors offer.

Mark: So in a way, do you feel like this is an insurance, an insurance assurance for your clients that you guys have a really high standard as compared to other electrical contractors?

Adam: Absolutely. So when you apply to the GVH, you don’t just instantly become a member. They go through an interview process, they check your references, they check your online reviews and your credibility to make sure that they’re only letting in the top notch contractors join in. So if you’re a home owner or a client looking for a sub-trade or a contractor or a builder or a designer, they have designers and architects as well, I would recommend going to the GVH website and finding one that has that GVH and RenoMark stamp. I would say that’s definitely a good thing to look for and we’re proud to have it.

Mark: So if you’re looking for an electrical contractor in Vancouver, these are the guys to call Wicks Electric. You can check out their website wickselectric.ca or call them to discuss your next project, renovations, industrial projects, construction, renovations, you name it – they do a wide range of stuff and again they’re the highest rated electrical contractor, electricians in Vancouver. Call them at 604-765-8439. Thanks Adam

Adam: Awesome. Thanks Mark

Adam: Very well Mark, good morning, how are you?

Mark: Good, so we’re going to talk about you guys riding to the rescue a little bit, a client called their electrical contractor who’d been paid, bailed after failing inspection, tell us the story.

Adam: That’s correct Mark, yeah this has happened a few times actually where an electrical contractor gets paid for a project, it goes to inspection, fails the inspection, and then kind of goes MIA so the client is having a tough time getting in touch with this specific contractor so they ended up doing a Google search, they found us on Yelp as you mentioned, we’re the number one contractor on there so they found us on Yelp, gave us a shout, we came in, we found a number of deficiencies, there’s been a lot of electrical code changes recently and I don’t think this specific contractor was up to date on those changes so we came through, did a walk through with the client and advised them of changes that needed to be made and even though it was a bit of a stressful situation for the client, a few days later we had them a new proposal set, a minimal amount of work but you know, a fair bit that the other electrical contractor missed but we provided a clear clean cut estimate, they approved it, they’re happy with the pricing, we returned, finished the project, we had a re-inspection and we passed and we’ve added another client testimonial to the list, so now things have been smoothed out.

Mark: So what do you think the difference was, how can someone protect themselves from this happening?

Adam: Yeah, that’s a good question, I think the important thing with electrical contractors is to look for accreditations such as GVH which is the Greater Vancouver Home Builders and RenoMark which are two associations we’re part of. With the RenoMark particularly, there’s a set of standards and guidelines that you have to sign off on if you want that RenoMark stamp. We’ve been a RenoMark contractor for about three years now so one of the many items on there is the two year warranty where a lot of contractors if any only offer a one year, there’s also a specific set of very high industry meeting standards you must abide by and so I would say looking for those type of accreditations in contractors is definitely, is definitely important.

Mark: So if you’re looking for an electrical contractor you can trust who will get the job done and at a fair price, with great service and a bunch of real hunky looking dudes, the guys to call are Wicks Electric 604-765-8439 or info@wickselectric.ca, check out their website wickselectric.ca Thanks Adam.

Adam: That’s correct Mark, have a good Friday, see you next week. Thanks a lot.
