Who We Are
At Elk Ridge Modular, we build high-end modular homes and cabins under one roof in Coldstream, BC — 16,000 sq ft of clean, organized shop with room to move and room to grow.
That means no weather delays, no mud, no chasing materials across a job site. Controlled conditions, consistent workflow, and the ability to actually dial in a process instead of fighting the same problems every day.
We're building multi-module, multi-storey projects headed for some of the coolest locations in BC. We're growing fast, the work keeps getting more interesting, and we're doing it with a team that gives a damn.
What We're About
Our Purpose
We exist to inspire trust and confidence by building exceptional homes and cultivating a world-class team. We're here to lead the industry forward with craftsmanship, innovation, and a commitment to being here for our clients — today and in the next decade.
Our Niche
We thrive on unique builds and challenging locations. Where other builders say no, we find a way. From design to delivery, we bring innovation and transparency to every stage.
Our Core Values
Bring The Energy
Move with purpose. Everything you do moves the team forward.
Innovate Relentlessly
Challenge the status quo. Find the better, smarter way.
Own Your Impact
We take responsibility for our work, our actions, and the outcomes they create.
Team Up For Growth
Commitment to personal and professional growth. We win as a team and lose as a team.
These aren't posters on a wall. They're how we hire, how we run our meetings, and how we decide who moves up.
Who We're Looking For
We're looking for a Skilled Builder in Framing to take ownership of the structural framing phase of our builds.
But the trade skill is only half of it. We can teach process and systems, and we'll invest in your development. What we're looking for is someone with the right attitude who wants to grow with us.
Here's who does well here:
You're honest, even when it costs you something. If you screw up, you say so. If something's wrong, you flag it early instead of hoping nobody notices. We'd rather hear about a problem at 9am than find it at 4pm.
You take pride in your work. Not because someone's watching, because you can't help it. You care what your work looks like with your name on it.
You want to get better. You're not looking for a place to coast for the next ten years. You want to learn, take on more, and be worth more a year from now than you are today.
You bring ideas, not just complaints. If you see a better way to do something, we want to hear it. Some of our best process changes came from someone on the floor saying “why do we do it like this?”
You're easy to work alongside. You show up happy and eager. You take feedback without getting defensive, you help someone who's stuck, and you don't make the day harder for the people around you.
You show up. Consistently, on time, ready to go. It sounds basic. It isn't.
You have a sense of humour. We work hard and we go at it, but we like the people we work with.
You'll work alongside our design, engineering, exterior, mechanical, electrical, and interior teams to bring projects to life from the ground up. You'll also help mentor Entry-Level Builders working in framing phases.
If you understand that framing is where quality begins, you'll be a great fit here.
